Thank you very much an important security notice.

This (Build nginx from scratch) comment example can be used for building nginx 0.7 and 0.8 versions from scratch.

I also updated this blog post to using different repositories. Now I recommend to use Chris Lea’s repository, where it is at the moment possible to install latest nginx 0.8.xx (currently 0.8.34) version.

http://nginx.org/en/security_advisories.html

According to nginx’s site they affect most version up until the most recent 0.7 and 0.8 branches which have been fixed.You are way, way better off from a security standpoint building nginx from scratch using the latest 0.7 release.

Now the error is “ERROR] Error message file '/usr/share/mysql/english/errmsg.sys' had only 480 error messages,
but it should contain at least 641 error messages.” when starting mysqld.

Is something messed up in the mysql packages on that repo?

yum remove mysql mysql-libs mysqlclient15

Then install mysql with remi repository disabled:

yum install --disablerepo=remi mysql

This should install mysql-5.0.77-4.el5_4.1 on your system.

Actually this manual will guide only in how to install nginx, FastCGI and PHP with MySQL, PostgreSQL and Memcache support. So after this setup you should get PHP+nginx server with MySQL, PostgreSQL and Memcache support, but not MySQL, PostgreSQL or Memcache servers installed.

But your problem with MySQL install. If you want install MySQL 5.1.42 then try to install it with following command:

yum --enablerepo=remi install mysql mysql-server

file /etc/my.cnf from install of mysql-5.0.77-4.el5_4.1.i386 conflicts with file from package mysql-libs-5.1.42-1.el5.remi.i386

# Install following packages
yum install gcc openssl-devel pcre-devel zlib-devel
 
# Download nginx-0.8.31.tar.gz
wget http://www.nginx.org/download/nginx-0.8.31.tar.gz
 
# Untar and unzip nginx-0.8.31.tar.gz 
tar xvfz nginx-0.8.31.tar.gz
 
# Move to nginx-0.8.31 directory
cd nginx-0.8.31
 
# Configure nginx

#  Red Hat, Fedora from nginx wiki)

# Build nginx
make
 
# Install nginx as root
make install

And then install other needed stuff, configure webserver and test.
