Upgrade Nginx no modules directory on fresh install centos7 64bit

see FAQ item 39 FAQ - CentminMod.com LEMP Nginx web stack for CentOS

---

 

you'd only see modules directory after switching to 123.09beta01 + recompiling nginx via centmin.sh option 4 in that case. Just switching branches isn't enough, nginx centmin.sh menu option 4 recompile is needed

 

Yup 123.09beta01 is the future

 

Haproxy load balancer is on long term to do list Centmin Mod To Do List though Nginx can natively do load balancing too. For data sync/distribution up to you to do.

Centmin Mod is provide as is, so short of scripted related bugs or issues, any further optimisation to the web stack components - nginx, php-fpm, mariadb mysql, csf firewall etc or web app specific configurations are left to the Centmin Mod user to deal with. So I do not provide any free support for such.

However, Centmin Mod users are free to help each other out and ask questions or give answers on this community forum. My hopes are that this community forum evolves so that more veteran long time Centmin Mod users help new Centmin Mod users out

Centmin Mod's Nginx has all the nginx modules it requires for you to configure nginx reverse proxy, nginx based load balancing and proxy caching (with exception of the shared file system you'd need i.e. NFS, GlusterFS and any mysql database cluster/replication). You just have to configure it yourself

For nginx reverse proxy & load balancing read the documentation, tutorial and guides below

• NGINX Reverse Proxy | NGINX
• Module ngx_http_proxy_module
• Setting Up simple Proxy server
• How to Set Up Reverse Proxy with Nginx | MaxCDN One
• Understanding Nginx HTTP Proxying, Load Balancing, Buffering, and Caching | DigitalOcean
• Module ngx_http_upstream_module
• Module ngx_stream_upstream_module
• NGINX Load Balancing - HTTP and TCP Load Balancer
• Using nginx as HTTP load balancer
• Load Balancing with NGINX and NGINX Plus, Part 2 | NGINX
• NGINX Boosts Python Performance: Monitor & Load Balance

 

Because tutorials don't cover it - it's NOT enough to know how to set it up - you need to understand each segment (networking, web, database etc) and how to resolve common issues that come up otherwise you risk you data see my reply at Sysadmin - Is there a Newb based tutorial on clustering servers?

And well not many Centmin Mod folks would be able to afford my rates anyway >AUD$200/hr with minimum 4 days. But yes I do have paid Centmin Mod and non-Centmin Mod clients that do pay.

But links and info is the basic building blocks for learning to do it yourself - only difference between an expert and a novice, is how much they read and practice

 

Well personally I have 120+ servers running Centmin Mod right now - saves a lot in cpanel license fees system admin time + performs faster too + access to more bleeding edge tech

Focus right now for Centmin Mod is cultivating more Centmin Mod experts from the ~3,000 new installs per month Attention Future Centmin Mod Experts ! and a big requirement is = alot of reading

 

Yes novices have to start somewhere. I started as a noob in 2000 on webmin never using a linux server before. Then 2001 onwards cpanel/whm until I developed/forked Centmin Mod in 2011

Troubleshooting Initial Install

To troubleshoot initial installation, you need to check the initial install log at /root/centminlogs and instructions under Sharing logs and errors heading for using Pastebin.com or Gists to share a sanitised version of the contents of the initial install log. You can see full details at How to troubleshoot Centmin Mod initial install issues

Example list /root/centminlogs files in date ascending order and grep for install.log

Code (Text):

ls -lahrt /root/centminlogs | grep install.log

example output returns install log at /root/centminlogs/centminmod_1.2.3-eva2000.09.001_111016-112321_install.log

Code (Text):

ls -lahrt /root/centminlogs | grep install.log
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 2.2M Oct 11 01:40 centminmod_1.2.3-eva2000.09.001_111016-112321_install.log

in SSH use cat to ouput contents of /root/centminlogs/centminmod_1.2.3-eva2000.09.001_111016-112321_install.log. Clear your SSH client window/buffer so only output is the contents of the file

Code (Text):

cat /root/centminlogs/centminmod_1.2.3-eva2000.09.001_111016-112321_install.log

Then copy and paste into Pastebin.com or Gists entry. If your SSH window scroll buffer isn't that large to get the whole contents of the install log, you can download file manually and copy and paste contents. But makes sure it's sanitised version of the contents of the initial install log as outlined at How to troubleshoot Centmin Mod initial install issues
