[SOLVED]Nginx WebDAV version error, but AUR package is up-to-date

I use nginx with webDAV module for self-hosting Zotero files. Wiki instructed to install `nginx-mainline` and `nginx-mainline-mod-dav-ext` (AUR), then configure as needed. It worked, until a full system update a couple months before, when nginx reported

[emerg] 222006#222006: module "/usr/lib/nginx/modules/ngx_http_dav_ext_module.so" version 1025002 instead of 1025003 in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:1

However, the module's upstream has not updated since 2018, and the AUR is using that latest release.

Baffled, I tried to install nginx instead of nginx-mainline, and modified the PKGBUILD of the AUR accordingly to use nginx and nginx-src, but upon starting nginx (it did without errors), webDAV seems to be dead. I guess the `nginx` package is installed without the `./configure --with-http_dav_module` option, based on the observation that wiki specified the nginx-mainline and did not mention nginx (the stable release), but I do not know how to confirm.

I would like to know if there is any solution, or I'm doing something wrong - it seems the only mention of the error message indexed by google is exactly one post: this forum post, where the distro or the ecosystem fixed the OP's problem but did not mention what change in nginx 1.25 caused the issue & what to do in other linux settings (I used auto translation to read the post, hopefully this is somewhat ok interpretation).

Thank you!

Rebuild the dav module against the new nginx version. Whenever you install things from the AUR and the soname of a dependency bumps, you need to rebuild said package against the new soname, hoping it's still compatible (only minor version bump, chances that this is a "yes" are high).

Note the pinned comment: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ngin … ent-798632

Moving to AUR issues.

Oh i'm dumb, it was right there in the discussion. I went to github repos to search for answer too quickly. Thank you V1del, and sorry.

Fixed, will close.
