For this tut, You'll need a VPS or dedicated server with full root user + SSH2 telnet access to install Centmin Mod (For LEMP installation and Management). I'll be using a 1GB memory VPS from DigitalOcean as they got Cheap VPS hosting which are awesome!
In this tut, We'll be setting up latest version of NginX, MariaDB, PageSpeed and PHP. At the time of writing this tut, the latest versions are as follows:
- NginX - v1.7.0
- PageSpeed - v1.8.31.2-beta
- PHP5 - v5.5.12
So the first step is to create a new droplet with CentOS 6.5 x64 linux distro.
Assuming you know how to create the droplet and SSH, we'll move forward to the pre-installation and Centmin Mod steps.
Log into your VPS as root user via SSH2 telnet and follow the steps.
Before we can get to the installation, we first need to update and install few things.
- Update:
$ yum -y update - Install:
$ yum -y install bc wget unzip vim yum-plugin-fastestmirror - Clean:
$ yum clean all
Alright, So if everything went good, we're all set to download and run Centmin Mod.
- Download the latest version of Centmin Mod's zip file using
wgetcommand in SSH telnet by firing the command:
Note: In example below, zip is downloaded to /usr/local/src. DO NOT download to /tmp and run centmin.sh from /tmp as Centmin Mod removes the ability to execute scripts from /tmp as a security precaution. Also the downloaded contents must NOT be deleted or removed as subsequent runs of centmin.sh to use menu options require certain files and scripts in place. - Quoted from the site
$ cd /usr/local/src
$ wget http://centminmod.com/download/centmin-v1.2.3-eva2000.06.zip
- Extract files and change directory to
centmin-v1.2.3moddirectory andchmod +x centmin.shbash script.
$ unzip centmin-v1.2.3-eva2000.06.zip
$ rm -rf centmin-v1.2.3-eva2000.06.zip
$ cd centmin-v1.2.3mod
$ chmod +x centmin.sh
- Edit
centmin.shto update the version of NginX, PageSpeed and PHP before installation.
$ vim centmin.sh
- Update PageSpeed Version
Update NGXPGSPEED_VER and NGINX_PAGESPEEDPSOL_VER vars to 1.8.31.2 and 1.8.31.2.
So it should look like this:
...
NGXPGSPEED_VER='1.8.31.2-beta'
NGINX_PAGESPEEDPSOL_VER='1.8.31.2'
...
- Update Nginx Version
Update NGINX_VERSION var to 1.7.0:
...
NGINX_VERSION='1.7.0' # Use this version of Nginx
...
- Update PHP Version
Update PHP_VERSION var to 5.5.12:
...
PHP_VERSION='5.5.12' # Use this version of PHP
...
Now save and exit from the editor (ESC, :wq).
Run centmin.sh menu:
$ ./centmin.sh
Select option #1 and you're done mostly! Now sit back and grab a cup of coffee while Centmin Mod takes care of installation for you!
While installation it'll ask you to enter MySQL password and couple of other prompts which you can answer easily as it'll show on-screen instructions which are easy to understand.
Once done, you can start adding vhost using centmin mod easy menu and continue the config.
Hope this helped you. Enjoy!
