Featured CentOS 7.x How to help test .08 CentOS 7 Betas with Github code ?

any number of reasons, github ddos attack could of been one preventing stuff downloading and thus Centmin Mod did not install everything properly or other reasons that initial troubleshooting log analysis could probably tell you.

Centmin Mod is only for fresh virgin CentOS use. So if you had another control panel or other sites/mysql/php setup BEFORE Centmin Mod install, that would cause problems too. See FAQ item 1 at Centmin Mod FAQ - Menu based Nginx installer

lastly, .08 is beta for this very reason - beta means not stable and needs testing

with that said around 20 out of 40 of my servers now run .08 beta 02 code without problems

FYI, .08 beta02 is latest beta

 

well beta is beta, if you don't have time to do learn, troubleshooting and help test and provide feedback, then Centmin Mod might not right for you in it's current state. It's definitely not a set and forget type of script

 

95% of all software is downloaded at start before install, there's probably a few things that download afterwards but there's no way of knowing why @Cr0w's instance didn't work without the initial install log How to troubleshoot Centmin Mod initial install issues | Centmin Mod Community or more info

 

For folks with existing Centmin Mod installs who want to package up their /svr-setup directory files so you can copy them to another server, I have created a centminmod_packager.sh script - info at Install - centminmod_packager.sh | Centmin Mod Community

 

2 updates to pure-ftpd virtual FTP user features for Centmin Mod .08 beta 02

First, made an update just now. I added a new update to Centmin Mod .08 beta 02 that you might want to set too via these 2 commands. It changes default created virtual FTP user files/directories to tighter permissions of 0640/0750 respectively instead of 0644/0755 respectively for files/directories. @jeffwidman would like this

Code:

sed -i 's/Umask                       133:022/Umask                       137:027/' /etc/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.conf
service pure-ftpd restart

Second, fix pure-ftpd configuration routine for missing files · centminmod/centminmod@1fdcbfd · GitHub is a fix for pure-ftpd initial setup where the passwd or db file is missing on initial install which means virtual FTP users aren't created properly when you run centmin.sh menu option 2 to add Nginx vhost.

For existing Centmin Mod .08 beta 02 users, you can run this command line to run a script to try and fix pure-ftpd and then you will need to manually re-create all pure-ftpd virtual FTP users as per the instructions at end of the script output

run command/script

Code:

curl -sL https://bitbucket.org/snippets/eva2000/B89b/raw/master/pureftp_fix.sh | bash

because /etc/pure-ftpd/pureftpd.passwd was missing, you will need to
manually re-create your pure-ftpd virtual FTP user accounts for existing
nginx vhost accounts using below 3 commands:

where YOURUSERNAME = your FTP username
where YOURDOMAINNAME.com = your existing domain name Nginx vhost

    service pure-ftpd restart

 

Fix Too Many Redirects Errors

Updated both Centmin Mod 1.2.3-eva2000.07 stable and .08 beta 02 builds to fix Too Many Redirects errors on some pecl.php.net located files such as APC Cache download. This was due to a buggy Axel download accelerator which is a multithreaded parallel download tool which downloads faster than single threaded wget. For now I have switched both .07 stable and .08 beta 02 builds from Axel back to using wget until I can test an alternative parallel downloading tool (maybe aria2c).

There's 3 ways you can upgrade your .07 stable or .08 beta02 code you have on your server. They are outlined in respective upgrade sections of the first posts linked below:

1. For .07 stable 1st post see section on upgrades Install - Centmin Mod 1.2.3-eva2000.07 stable install | Centmin Mod Community
2. For .08 beta 02 1st post see section on upgrade to latest code CentOS 7.x - How to help test .08 CentOS 7 Betas with Github code ? | Centmin Mod Community
3. For either .07 stable or .08 beta02 via github command line Upgrade - Working with git command line for updating Centmin Mod local copies | Centmin Mod Community

yup Redis PHP extension to allow PHP to talk to Redis server phpredis/phpredis · GitHub

Code:

php --ri redis

redis

Redis Support => enabled
Redis Version => 2.2.7

And if you need to install Redis via yum

fyi, you can get redis 2.8 series via YUM so would be interesting to see how that compares to redis 3.x which I have yet to try

Code:

yum list redis --disableplugin=priorities --enablerepo=remi -q
Available Packages
redis.x86_64    2.8.19-1.el6.remi         remi

and redis 3.x is in remi-test repo

Code:

yum list redis --disableplugin=priorities --enablerepo=remi-test -q
Available Packages
redis.x86_64    3.0.0-1.el6.remi           remi-test

 

thanks @AlekseY will add it to inc/csfinstall.inc routines for .08 beta 02 centminmod/csfinstall.inc at 123.08centos7beta02 · centminmod/centminmod · GitHub

fixed in April 7th commit Commits · centminmod/centminmod · GitHub

 

Redis and Memcached servers can run at the same time to serve different web apps which use them respectively. Redis can do what Memcached does Introduction to Redis – Redis but also supports more features and usages. No expert in Redis myself. But adding redis PHP extension support allows web apps that use redis to use it on Centmin Mod LEMP stack.

For now just testing the redis PHP extension addition on a private Centmin Mod .08 beta branch first - you should be able to control whether redis PHP extension is installed via centmin.sh variable PHPREDIS=y|n

 

FYI, redis PHP extension has now been committed to Centmin Mod .08 beta 02 and is enabled by default via PHPREDIS=y in centmin.sh
