I have a rails app and want to set up the google SPDY protocol support. But after installing Nginx with SPDY patch and then enabling the spdy in virtual host it does not allow me to restart the nginx instead throws following error.
Restarting nginx: nginx: [emerg] invalid parameter "spdy" in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default:112
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed
I have compiled latest nginx 1.3.13 with spdy patch, here I am mentioning my steps of install
wget http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.3.13.tar.gz
tar xvfz nginx-1.3.13.tar.gz
cd nginx-1.3.13
# Fetch the SPDY patch and apply it
wget http://nginx.org/patches/spdy/patch.spdy.txt
patch -p1 < patch.spdy.txt

It compiles successfully without any error. Result 0f nginx -V gives following

My /etc/nginx/site-enabled config has
server {
listen 443 ssl spdy;
ssl_certificate server.crt;
ssl_certificate_key server.key;
...
}
After all this successfull installation nginx does not restart with spdy param in server block of site-enabled file.
Any suggestions? I am sure of missing something here but can't figure out.
