pcre_compile() failed: unrecognized character after (?<

[Peter Leonov]

IMHO, this is a pcre version issue. Old versions do not support named  
selections.

Could you please try to update your system pcre library or just  
compile the latest lib version in nginx using --with-pcre=/path/to/ 
custom/pcre
