Installation

There's basically now 3 methods to install Centmin Mod starting with 1.2.3-eva2000.07+ and higher versions. Full outlined Centmin Mod install steps will always be available at Download - Centmin Mod - Menu based Nginx installer for CentOS servers.

I posted some How to install Centmin Mod Youtube videos also at Install - How to install Centmin Mod Videos | Centmin Mod Community. And don't forget to read the Official FAQ at Centmin Mod FAQ - Menu based Nginx installer

3 methods to install Centmin Mod

1. First method, traditional shell based menu via SSH command from within download zip files extracted directory and selecting menu option 1:
   Code:

   ./centmin.sh

2. Second method, from unattended CLI command line via SSH commandfrom within download zip files extracted directory:
   Code:

   ./centmin.sh install

3. Third method, from one liner CLI install via SSH command below which basically invokes the ./centmin.sh install method via curl:
   Code:

   curl -sL http://centminmod.com/installer.sh | bash

The last two CLI command line methods are great for 100% unattended Centmin Mod installs

Code:

Updating to latest .07 stable

Centmin Mod .07 stable over time may get bug fixes or minor updates i.e. download url changes. So to grab the latest code at least, it's basically the same as Method 1 instructions above minus the need to run initial install if you are on an existing Centmin Mod .07 stable based server environment and needing to remove the old zip and extracted folder first.

Code:

cd /usr/local/src
rm -rf /usr/local/src/centmin*
wget http://centminmod.com/download/centmin-v1.2.3-eva2000.07.zip
unzip centmin-v1.2.3-eva2000.07.zip
cd centmin-v1.2.3mod
chmod +x centmin.sh

Centmin Mod 1.2.3-eva2000.07 Highlights

Improvements

• Centmin Mod installation speed. The .07 release will be up to 40-60% faster in terms of installation speed. My local test server went from ~1800-1950 seconds install time to ~720-950 seconds install time. DigitalOcean VPS install time went from around ~1650-1850 seconds install time to ~1100-1350 seconds install time. The new .07 release on Linode VPS average between 950-1000 seconds install time for 4GB and higher VPS (benchmarks). Install time besides the actual Centmin Mod code used, is dependent on several factors including the particular VPS or dedicated server’s network speed geographically related to download sources and the specifications of the server – specifically cpu, memory and disk I/O performance. Faster network speed, cpu, memory and/or disk I/O means generally faster install time.
• Return of CLI install mode (previously previewed). Full unattended CLI install mode which bypasses the default Centmin Mod shell based menu install. To bypass the shell based menu, run ./centmin.sh install. As such to facilitate this, the MySQL root user password and Memcached admin php file have an auto generated passwords which will be printed out at end of Centmin Mod install.
• Nginx 1.7 defaults. The default installed Nginx version is now Nginx 1.7.2.
• PHP 5.4.30 defaults. Starting from .07 release, the default PHP version installed will be bumped from PHP 5.3.28 to PHP 5.4.30. APC Cache will still be the default PHP opcode cacher installed. Unless you enabled the new variable in centmin.sh, ZOPCACHEDFT=’y’ which can override the defaults and install Zend OpCache by default instead of APC Cache. If you have incompatible PHP web apps, you can still downgrade PHP to 5.3.28 via menu option #5 or set PHP_VERSION=’5.3.28′ in centmin.sh BEFORE you actually run install menu option #1. Similarly, if you want PHP 5.5.14, just upgrade PHP via menu option #5 or set PHP_VERSION=’5.5.14′ and ZOPCACHEDFT=’y’ in centmin.sh BEFORE you actually run install menu option #1.
• Revised menu options – changing menu options #11 and #12. Number #11 is now a MariaDB 5.2, 5.5 and 10 upgrade sub menu option. Number #12 is now a dedicated menu option to install and reinstall Zend OpCache PHP opcode caching for PHP versions. With menu option #11, the sub menu option to upgrade to MariaDB 10.x is just a place holder for now and doesn’t actually work.
• Moved all downloads links themselves out of the download functions atinc/downloads.inc to their own file at inc/downloadlinks.inc for easier management
• Changed PHP’s default config scan directory variable path (CONFIGSCANDIR) from /root/centminmod/php.d to /etc/centmimod/php.d. The centmin.sh will auto detect this and create the necessary directory and copy over any existing PHP extension .ini files from the old path. This is preparation for when chrooted user SSH/SFTP/SCP user account support comes WordPress Auto Installer & SSH, SFTP, SCP chrooted user accounts for Nginx vhost | Centmin Mod Blog to allow chrooted users PHP binary access to PHP extensions.
• Updated PHP menu option #5 upgrade routine to auto reinstall previously installed PHP extensions such as APC Cache, Xcache, Zend OpCache, Memcache/Memcached, igbinary and ImagemagicK. No longer will users need to manually reinstall these PHP extensions after each PHP upgrade. The script will detect what .ini files are in /root/centminmod/php.d (.07 release will be /etc/centminmod/php.d) when PHP upgrade is ran. Then at end of PHP upgrade will auto reinstall each PHP extension that was detected before PHP upgrade completed.
• Updated centmin.sh with 4 options PHP_DISABLED=n, MYSQLSERVICE_DISABLED=n, NSD_DISABLED=n and MEMCACHED_DISABLED=n. By default they are set to NO, so that PHP-FPM, MariaDB MySQL, NSD and Memcached server are installed and enabled (running). Some users have no use for NSD for DNS hosted locally on server and/or have no use for Memcached server or want to have an Nginx only server without running PHP-FPM and MySQL services, so you can set PHP_DISABLED=y, MYSQLSERVICE_DISABLED=y, NSD_DISABLED=y and/or MEMCACHED_DISABLED=y in centmin.sh prior to initial Centmin Mod install, so that PHP-FPM, MariaDB MySQL, NSD and Memcached are disabled but installed. This allows for you to re-enable them if needed in future. To re-enable NSD via commands service nsd start and chkconfig nsd on and for Memcached via service memcached start and chkconfig memcached on.

Found a bug preventing memcached server stopping in init.d/memcached files for .07 stable and .08 betas while working on a revised memcached init.d file with unix socket option support Memcached - How to Run memcached from a socket? | Centmin Mod Community

all .07 stable and .08 betas have been updated with the new /etc/init.d/memcached file.

For existing Centmin Mod users, they can just update that one file via these 2 commands. You may need to re-edit your memory allocation sizes if you changed them from the default 8MB

Code:

wget -O /etc/init.d/memcached https://gist.githubusercontent.com/centminmod/94940d2f1cd75c5e18dd/raw/memcached.sh
chmod +x /etc/init.d/memcached

 

Updated all Github branches and .07 zip with OpenSSL 1.0.1i as default Nginx - Updating OpenSSL 1.0.1i for Centmin Mod | Centmin Mod Community

Also took the opportunity to update in .07 stable packages some other versions for Nginx 1.7.4, OpenSSL 1.0.1i, suhosin 0.9.36, PHP 5.4.31, Python 2.7.8 Commits · centminmod/centminmod · GitHub

 

Updated all Github branches and .07 zip with new option in centmin.sh, AXIVOREPO_DISABLE=y

This disables Axivo YUM repo install by default for initial Centmin Mod installs. If you want to enable Axivo YUM repo installation, you must do so BEFORE running initial Centmin Mod installation by editing centmin.sh and setting.

Code:

AXIVOREPO_DISABLE=n

Then running the initial Centmin Mod installation.

This change was made due to recent changes to the Axivo YUM repo download url causing instability and thus breaking Centmin Mod initial install process.

Manual install of Axivo Repo for .07 stable

If you forgot to set AXIVOREPO_DISABLE=n in centmin.sh prior to initial install on .07 stable, you can use this axivo_centmin.sh script to manually install it after initial install.

Code:

wget -cnv https://gist.github.com/centminmod/b0e0f1d3ac20f428e852/raw/axivo_centmin.sh
chmod +x axivo_centmin.sh
./axivo_centmin.sh

Axivo Repo once installed is disabled by default and has yum priorities set, so if you want to install any YUM packages from Axivo Repo, you need to append 2 commands --enablerepo=axivo --disableplugin=priorities

for example:

Code:

yum -q list elasticsearch --enablerepo=axivo --disableplugin=priorities

Code:

yum -q list elasticsearch --enablerepo=axivo --disableplugin=priorities
Installed Packages
elasticsearch.x86_64                                                              1.4.0-1.el6                                                              @axivo

 

Added a new update to all .07 stable and .08 beta branches for a commit that fixes postfix bounce email processing for Xenforo 1.4 thanks for @Tracy Perry troubleshooting and insight sharing

For existing Centmin Mod users, you can fix this running 2 commands in SSH

Code:

postconf -e 'recipient_delimiter = +'
/etc/init.d/postfix restart

to confirm if it was set, type this command in SSH

Code:

postconf -n | grep ^recipient_delimiter

you should return output

Code:

recipient_delimiter = +

 

Found problem with PHP at least, php folks changed the mirrors yet again, PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor no longer works, you need without www php.net

Fix for when InnoDB engine is initially enabled

Discovered a bug in initial MariaDB install routine which affects both .07 stable and .08 betas when InnoDB is initially enabled for the first time via /etc/my.cnf. It doesn't show itself normally as by default .07 stable has MariaDB 5.5 installed with InnoDB disabled by default and it only sometimes occurs when InnoDB is enabled for first time.

The InnoDB engine may fail to load as there is a mismatched innodb_log_file_size from what was initially created size of 5MB at install and the custom /etc/my.cnf size of 48MB or 64MB - you can see this in MariaDB error log when you enable InnoDB for the first time. I had a workaround for this, but mistakenly placed the work around too early in the install routine before the custom /etc/my.cnf was set. The workaround should be placed after the custom /etc/my.cnf is set.

So committed fixes for both branches

• .07 stable update inc/mariadb_install.inc move ib_logfile workaround · 81aaeae · centminmod/centminmod · GitHub
• .08centos7beta01 and .08geoip update inc/mariadb_install.inc move ib_logfile workaround · c0bd030 · centminmod/centminmod · GitHub

If it's your first time enabling innodb in /etc/my.cnf and you're on Centmin Mod prior to the committed fixes, you'd want to first check your MariaDB error log /var/log/mysqld.log to make sure you are experiencing the same exact error messages outlined here (for failed innodb engine and innodb_log_file_size) and follow the commands to rectify them outlined here or below.

check your error logs for mysql

tail -50 /var/log/mysqld.log

service mysql stop
sleep 30
rm -rf /var/lib/mysql/ib_logfile*
service mysql start

 

ngx_pagespeed 1.9.32.1 beta and CSF Firewall Changes

From Centmin Mod Nginx + ngx_pagespeed 1.9.32.1 beta point of view, need a workaround for the ngx_pagespeed 1.9.32.1 changed behaviour by adding an additional pagespeed on/off setting in /usr/local/nginx/conf/pagespeedadmin.conf and modifying pscontrol script to turn on/off pagespeed from both pagespeed on/off instances located in both /usr/local/nginx/conf/pagespeedadmin.conf and /usr/local/nginx/conf/pagespeed.conf files.

Also updated .07 stable zip and github and .08 beta CSF Firewall download link urls

I have updated Centmin Mod .07 stable with such changes.

Spoiler: Existing users: Syncing changes for ngx_pagespeed 1.9.32.1

Existing users: Syncing changes for ngx_pagespeed 1.9.32.1

For existing .07 stable and .08 beta users to sync these ngx_pagespeed 1.9.32.1 beta changes with their working servers, you need to download the latest .07 stable or .08centos7beta01 zip file to /svr-setup to replace your existing zip and remove old extracted zip folder and unzip and extract the new latest zipf ile and chmod +x centmin.sh and then run centmin.sh and run a nginx recompile via menu option #4. What this will do is trigger inc/ningx_pagespeed.inc pagespeeduptask function at line 360. This pagespeeduptask function is responsible for checking existing Centmin Mod installs to see if there are any outdated or not expected nginx pagespeed config settings in the pagespeed include config files. If this function detects outdated config options, it will automatically replace the old pagespeed conf file with a new one based on functions outlined in inc/nginx_pagespeed.inc.

In this case the made change is in pagespeedadmin.conf the addition of a pagespeed off; variable. Line 458 to 466 of pagespeeduptask function is what checks for pagespeed off variable in your server's copy at /usr/local/nginx/conf/pagespeedadmin.conf

Line 460 checks for pagespeed on; or pagspeed off; variable and then if empty, it replaces your pagespeedadmin.conf with updated one via line 462 to 466 which in turn calls the makepsadmin function on lines 272 to 308.

Updating to latest .07 stable for CentOS 6.6 support

For existing Centmin Mod .07 stable users, over time may get bug fixes or minor updates i.e. download url changes. So to grab the latest code at least, it's basically the same as Method 1 instructions above minus the need to run initial install if you are on an existing Centmin Mod .07 stable based server environment and needing to remove the old zip and extracted folder first.

Code:

cd /usr/local/src
rm -rf /usr/local/src/centmin*
wget http://centminmod.com/download/centmin-v1.2.3-eva2000.07.zip
unzip centmin-v1.2.3-eva2000.07.zip
cd centmin-v1.2.3mod
chmod +x centmin.sh
