I compile nginx with nginx upload progress module but i still can't use any of the configuration variables.I get unknown directive error for all variables.Below is an example

[emerg] unknown directive "track_uploads"

You actually need to load the module with something like this:

load_module /path/to/ngx_http_uploadprogress_module.so;

Ahh totally my fault ....Thanks for the quick reply

If anyone else is wondering , you need to do the following

Compile as follows
--add-dynamic-module=../nginx-upload-progress-module

Then add the following line at the very top of /etc/nginx.conf

load_module "modules/ngx_http_uploadprogress_module.so";
