2. If you want use development versions then best way is building nginx from source. Here is quick guide to build nginx 0.8.31 from source:

   
   # 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
   # (Configure options for CentOS, 
   #  Red Hat, Fedora from nginx wiki)
   ./configure \
     --prefix=/usr \
     --sbin-path=/usr/sbin/nginx \
     --conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf \
     --error-log-path=/var/log/nginx/error.log \
     --pid-path=/var/run/nginx/nginx.pid  \
     --lock-path=/var/lock/nginx.lock \
     --user=nginx \
     --group=nginx \
     --with-http_ssl_module \
     --with-http_flv_module \
     --with-http_gzip_static_module \
     --http-log-path=/var/log/nginx/access.log \
     --http-client-body-temp-path=/var/tmp/nginx/client/ \
     --http-proxy-temp-path=/var/tmp/nginx/proxy/ \
     --http-fastcgi-temp-path=/var/tmp/nginx/fcgi/ 
   
   # Build nginx
   make
   
   # Install nginx as root
   make install
   

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

3. Maybe im missing something, but it doesnt seem like mysql was installed like the title implies. I cant even install mysql now through yum either. I get the follow error and a few others just like it, but more just referrence language files:

   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

4. Hi Mark,

   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

5. Maybe its better try downgrade back to MySQL version 5.0.77, simply remove following packages (if you have installed those):

   yum install --disablerepo=remi mysql

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

6. This fixed the original problem.

   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?

7. I love the tips on this site, they are always to the point and just the information I was looking for. Its hard to find good content these days in the world of spam and garbage sites. [Removed email address]

8. There are critical bugs in nginx in the version used in the EPEL repository (0.6.39).

   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.

   • Hi Will,

     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.
