Centmin v1.2.0 – Nginx install script for CentOS servers by BTCentral has been updated and released incorporating alot of my modifications which were made to Centmin v1.1.0 base here. I’ve updated my modifications to use Centmin v1.2.0 and higher as a base. Centmin v1.2.0 has fixed my modifications to work with both CentOS 32bit and 64bit servers.

Update: October 8th, 2011

Centmin Mod project gets own domain name: centminmod.com (runs on 3x load balanced Centmin Mod Nginx based web servers :) ). Will eventually transition the download link to centminmod.com.

Update: October 5th, 2011

Centmin Mod get’s it’s own logo. I used Denmark font for the text :)

Menu based custom Centmin installer script has been officially released. Starting with Centmin 1.2.1-eva2000.14, you will be able to use a menu based Centmin installer. Just to clarify with the new menu version you DO NOT need to do a full reinstall again, you just download new centmin menu version and extract and run centmin.sh and DO NOT touch option #1, just run option #4 for nginx upgrade and #5 for php upgrade if need be.

As stated in comment replies below, I held off adding addition features to my custom Centmin version until I implemented a menu system. I finally got around to implementing a menu system and have started adding additional menu features to beta versions and then to final public release.

You can now recompile Xcache, APC and Memcached servers as well as upgrade Nginx, PHP, and MariaDB 5.2 MySQL. I’ve also added a menu option to add domain names to Nginx virtual host configuration and adding domain names to NSD name server – automatically creating the nsd.conf zone entry and NSD dns zone file. New installations also automatically setup log rotation for Nginx and PHP-FPM log files. If you are using older Centmin 1.2.1-eva2000.xx release there’s also menu options #14 and #15 which setup logrotate for you.

Centmin menu below:

SSH2 Telnet client tip
If your SSH2 Telnet client options allow for it you can increase the size of your scroll back buffer size to allow larger amounts of outputted text to be shown via scrolling back and forth. This is the option in VanDyke SecureCRT SSH2 telnet client I use. I set my scrollback buffer to maximum size of 128,000 lines.

Here’s my modified Centmin v1.2.1  below which automatically installs the following via bash shell script framework written by BTCentral folks. Updates to my modified version will be updated in this blog post, so bookmark it and check back regularly. Also if you like this post/Centmin mod, feel free to share/vote on social media site links at top of post i.e. facebook, reddit, twitter, google+ etc ;)

  • Nginx v1.2.0
  • PHP 5.3.6 5.3.7 5.3.11 php-fpm install
  • MariaDB 5.2.12 default MySQL server – you’ll want min 512MB of installed memory
  • Memcached 1.4.13
  • Memcache v3.0.5 (do not use v3.0.6 doesn’t seem to work properly)
  • Xcache v1.3.2
  • APC 3.1.10
  • Python v2.72
  • CSF firewall
  • Siege benchmark and Sproxy.
CentOS 5.5/5.6 32bit & 64bit tested only. CentOS 6.x only tested on Centmin v1.2.1-eva2000.04 and higher.

Change log:

(compared to official Centmin v1.2.1/v1.2.2)

v1.2.2-eva2000.16 -29/04/2012

  • Updated PHP from v5.3.10 to v5.3.11 http://php.net/ChangeLog-5.php
  • Updated Nginx from v1.1.19 to v1.2.0 stable release http://nginx.org/en/CHANGES
  • Updated Xcache from v1.3.2 to v2.0.0 for PHP 5.4 support http://xcache.lighttpd.net/wiki/Release-2.0.0
  • Updated APC Cache from v3.1.9 to v3.1.10 beta for PHP 5.4 support http://pecl.php.net/package-changelog.php?package=APC (note: v3.1.10 beta retains v3.1.9 version name in PHPINFO so I modified the APC files to correct version number to v3.1.10 etc)
  • Updated APC configuration template files with additional settings you will need to manually add these to your /usr/local/lib/php.ini. You can compare using download zip’s copy at config/apc/apc-min.ini or apc.ini
  • Updated staticfiles.conf nginx includes file. You can find updated file in zip dowload config/nginx/staticfiles.conf which you can replace and overwrite the one on server at /usr/local/nginx/conf/staticfiles.conf
  • Updated nginx.conf and vhost template to add a 32K buffer to access_log logging. Changes aren’t updated automatically, you will need to update the /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf manually to remove line log_format bytes_log “$msec $bytes_sent .”; and add the line access_log logs/access.log combined buffer=32k;. You can compare using download zip’s copy at config/nginx/nginx.conf to compare against your live servers copy
  • Added optional Nginx modules from Agentzh’s Openresty bundle, memc-nginx-module and srcache-nginx-module. These modules are disabled by default but can be enabled by setting ‘y’ for new variable named NGINX_OPENRESTY=n. For more details read https://github.com/agentzh/memc-nginx-module and https://github.com/agentzh/srcache-nginx-module. No support is provided by me, optional modules are provided as is

v1.2.2-eva2000.15 -14/04/2012

  • Updated Nginx from v1.1.18 to v1.1.19 http://nginx.org/en/CHANGES

  • Updated YUM Install routine to be smarter in checking each package whether it’s already installed and needs updating or whether it’s not installed and needs installing
  • Updated php-fpm.conf files and vhost virtual.conf with pm.status and ping settings. PHP-FPM status/ping is disabled by default, uncomment setting #include /usr/local/nginx/conf/phpstatus.conf; in vhost virtual.conf and restart nginx and php-fpm services to enable. For folks upgrading Centmin Mod, ensure /usr/local/nginx/conf/phpstatus.conf exists, you can find a copy of it in v1.2.2-eva2000.15 zip file’s config/nginx/phpstatus.conf location.
  • Fixed CentOS 6.x EPEL Repo link
  • Fixed NSD v3.2.10 install/reinstall issue by moving NSD install routine further down the order for installation, seems v3.2.10 complains it can’t find the SSL libraries for some reason and fails to compile, so no /etc/nsd directory is created.
  • Add logging support to menu options. Log directory defined by variable CENTMINLOGDIR=’/root/centminlogs’ in inc/centminlogs.inc. When run menu option, the entire process will be logged to a time stamped text log file named ${CENTMINLOGDIR}/centminmod_${SCRIPT_VERSION}_${DT}_*.log so you can review the logs for error messages etc.

On some systems Nginx service shutdown doesn’t immediately or cleanly shutdown Nginx processes, causing Nginx upgrade to fail. The upgrade routine for Nginx will now have a NGINXUPGRADESLEEP =20 second initial delay after Nginx service is shutdown before make is run. The upgrade routine then will check if Nginx processes are still running and if so, trigger a 2nd NGINXUPGRADESLEEP = 20 second delay before running make.

    Hello

    Are the modules HttpLimitReq and HttpLimitZone already install on the server after installing the script?

    If yes can you please adjust my config with the new lines that those two modules require?

    # Nginx Master configuration
    user nobody;
    error_log logs/error.log;
    #Number of worker you need
    worker_processes 6;
    worker_rlimit_nofile 50000;
    # How many connections a worker can handle maximum.
    events {
    worker_connections 2048;
    }
    http {
    include mime.types;
    default_type application/octet-stream;
    sendfile on;
    server_names_hash_max_size 10000;
    server_names_hash_bucket_size 1024;
    tcp_nopush on;
    tcp_nodelay on;
    keepalive_timeout 10;
    gzip on;
    gzip_min_length 1100;
    gzip_buffers 4 32k;
    gzip_types text/plain application/x-javascript text/xml text/css;
    ignore_invalid_headers on;
    client_header_timeout 3m;
    client_body_timeout 3m;
    send_timeout 3m;
    client_header_buffer_size 16k;
    large_client_header_buffers 16 16k;
    include “/usr/local/nginx/conf/vhost.conf”;
    include “/etc/cpnginx/cpanelproxy.conf”;
    }

    Thank you

    Also which cpu is better for a forum or just for hosting the database as second server?

    The Intel Core i7 2600K 3.40Ghz or the 2x Intel Xeon 5506 2.13GHz ?

    The passmark shows that the Core i7 is faster:

    http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html

    Thank you

  2. eva2000 / September 30, 2011

    pamamolf,

    that nginx.conf doesn’t look like the stock one that centmin modded script comes with ?

    You’ll need to add them in yourself right now instructions at

    http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpLimitReqModule

    If you need help, best place to ask is on Nginx forums http://forum.nginx.org/ :)

    Yes i7 2600K is faster.

  3. pamamolf / September 30, 2011

    Do you mean to add the config lines myself as the modules are already build/install or to install also the modules myself?

    Thank you

  4. eva2000 / September 30, 2011

    Yes all modules listed at http://wiki.nginx.org/Modules under Standard HTTP modules are already included in core of Nginx.

  5. pamamolf / October 1, 2011

    Ok thanks eva2000

    I hope that you will also add the phpmyadmin for easy to handle the databases :)

    I have already a manual working way to do it and i can send you the tutorial if you want just to be easier to autoinstall using the script.

    Thank you

  6. eva2000 / October 3, 2011

    Thanks pamamolf, i plan to add phpmyadmin but the way I want to install it is for it to be only accessible via SSL i.e. https://urltophpmyadmin but setting up SSL needs manual work which I currently don’t know if it can be done purely via bash shell coding. So for now it’s not included.

    new version released.

    v1.2.2-eva2000.01 – 03/10/2011

    • Updated Nginx from v1.0.6 to v1.1.4 for default installs
    • Updated libevent from v2.0.13 stable to v2.0.14 stable
    • Updated libevent download url from http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent-${LIBEVENT_VERSION}-stable.tar.gz to https://github.com/downloads/libevent/libevent/libevent-${LIBEVENT_VERSION}-stable.tar.gz
    • Add to nginx.conf & vhost template commented out option for rate limiting connections per IP
    • Added Change SSHD Port number menu option to change from default SSHD Port 22
    • Added openvz_stack.inc for correct service init.d start up scripts stack size on OpenVZ systems
    • Streamlined php-fpm.conf and php-fpm-min.conf settings.
    • Split Nginx add vhost and MariaDB upgrade functions from centmin.sh to own includes files “inc/nginx_addvhost.inc” & “inc/mariadb_upgrade.inc”
    • Fixed nsdsetup.inc missing escape on $TTL for domain zone template
  7. pamamolf / October 3, 2011

    Why you need ssl for phpmyadmin?
    Is there any security issues about it?
    Or you can add it as it is and then add an option for uninstall so noobs like me can do what they want in a very easy way with the databases and then remove the phpmyadmin.

    Also i want to ask why you don’t add the final stable version of nginx nginx-1.0.8 (2011-10-01) and you add the development version nginx-1.1.4 (2011-09-20) ?

    “Add to nginx.conf & vhost template commented out option for rate limiting connections per IP”

    So do i have to uncomment those lines on 2 config files (vhost template?)?

    The script and what you do for us is AMAZING !

    Thank you

  8. pamamolf / October 3, 2011

    Also does the HttpLimitZoneModule config lines that you add on the script helping more for Ddos protection than the HttpLimitReqModule and do you think that both may help more?

    Thank you

  9. pamamolf / October 4, 2011

    Sorry for the triple message :(

    Why not use also the:

    - Updates any pre-installed software (via Yum)
    - Secures /tmp (and /var/tmp) directories
    - Sets server to use your local timezone

    Thank you

  10. eva2000 / October 4, 2011

    pamamolf

    If folks aren’t familiar with phpmyadmin they could incorrectly set it up insecurely, SSL just another layer of protection.

    As to Nginx version, dev version is pretty stable, modded centmin is aimed at being up to date. You can change the default via editing centmin.sh or use nginx upgrade option and specify 1.0.8 to downgrade too if you are already on 1.1.4

    yes to enable rate limiting uncomment 2 lines in nginx.conf

    # limit_conn_log_level error;
# limit_zone limit_per_ip $binary_remote_addr 16m;

    to

    limit_conn_log_level error;
limit_zone limit_per_ip $binary_remote_addr 16m;

    and uncomment 1 line in each of your vhosts

    server {
            listen   80 backlog=256;
            server_name www.demo.com;
 
# limit_conn limit_per_ip 16;

    change to

    server {
            listen   80 backlog=256;
            server_name www.demo.com;
 
limit_conn limit_per_ip 16;

    or

    add line if not already there

    limit_conn limit_per_ip 16;

    As to http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpLimitZoneModule not sure i understand the question, what i listed above is the whole setup, should help control DDOS attacks of certain types of course you’d need to adjust the value

    limit_conn limit_per_ip 16;

    allows 16 connections by same ip address

    As to

    - Updates any pre-installed software (via Yum)
    - Secures /tmp (and /var/tmp) directories
    - Sets server to use your local timezone

    they already are included in centmin.sh you just need to decide if you want to run then y or n

  11. pamamolf / October 5, 2011

    Ok thanks :)

    I was asking about the HttpLimitZoneModule and the HttpLimitReqModule that the first that you add on the script is limiting connections and the other one is limiting requests.

    And i was asking if it is better to limit connections or requests or both.

  12. eva2000 / October 5, 2011

    Oh i see… limiting requests would affect legit traffic as well if you suddenly have a busier traffic day. I guess implementing both would be best if you really hit by DDOS attack. I don’t have personal experience with either HttpLimitZoneModule or HttpLimitReqModule in live production environment setting, so can’t really give an informed opinion. Best place to ask would be nginx forums http://forum.nginx.org/ :)

  13. pamamolf / October 5, 2011

    Ok thanks :)

    I hope you to find a way to install phpmyadmin the way that you want as i was not able to do them manually:

    1)Create a new user
    2)Set a password for this user
    3)Create a new mysql group
    4)Add the new user to this group
    5)Create a database named database1 (utf8)
    6)Connect and set privileges for this user on the new database

    I need only 6 commands to use always that script but no one was reply yet as i was not able to follow the links that you send me :(

    Thank you

    I downloaded the latest release which asked me this queston on upgrade, it went fine till it failed on a module.

    configuring additional modules
    adding module in ../ngx-fancyindex-ngx-fancyindex
    + ngx_http_fancyindex_module was configured
    adding module in ../ngx_cache_purge-1.4
    ./configure: error: no ../ngx_cache_purge-1.4/config was found

  17. eva2000 / October 8, 2011

    chaoticone, which nginx version did you enter when prompted ? 1.0.8 or 1.1.5 ?

    what does output from this command show ?

    ls -alh /svr-setup/ngx_cache_purge-1.4

    Try re-running nginx upgrade option again and see.

  18. PeZzy / October 10, 2011

    It’s been awhile since I used your scripts. I used the new script to upgrade nginx and php-fpm. I also reinstalled memcached but I get the error “failed to set rlimit for open files. Try starting as root or requesting smaller maxconns value.” four times when I try to start memcached. What’s the best way to deal with this. My VPS is running Centos 5.7(Final). My limits.conf has…

    * soft nofile 65536
    * hard nofile 65536
    nginx soft nofile 65536
    nginx hard nofile 65536

    I edited centmin.sh and changed the memcached version to 1.4.7 . The memcached reinstall went fine. There’s something about 1.4.8 that my VPS doesn’t like.

  19. eva2000 / October 10, 2011

    Hey PeZzy, that’s strange error haven’t come across this before but will look into it. What was the previous version of centmin mod script you were running prior to upgrading using v1.2.2-eva2000.03 right ?

  20. PeZzy / October 10, 2011

    centmin-v1.2.1-eva2000.03 was the original script used on my VPS. I updated using your latest script, centmin-v1.2.2-eva2000.03 .

    It didn’t have the imap module for php, so I had to install a couple of libc packages with yum before proceeding with the php upgrade.

    I didn’t install perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker* – I don’t know what repo has it and what part of the script uses it.

    Also, I don’t normally use the rpmforge repo, but they had perl-Time-HiRes, and if I attempt an install I get…

    Package perl-Time-HiRes is obsoleted by perl, trying to install 4:perl-5.8.8-32.el5_6.3.i386 instead
    Package 4:perl-5.8.8-32.el5_6.3.i386 already installed and latest version

    During the memcached reinstall, I was getting a certificate error trying to download libevent from github. I had to download it manually with `–no-check-certificate’. Apparently OpenSSL has not been updated in a long time, unless you install it from a non-Centos source (openssl-0.9.8e-20.el5.i686).
