Rackspace.com Cloud Server – Nginx v1.0.2, PHP-FPM 5.3.6, Xcache v1.3.1, MariaDB 5.2.6 Install
Revisiting CentOS 5.x 64bit install on Rackspace.com Cloud Server environment but this time for testing source installation of Nginx v1.0.2, PHP 5.3.6 (php-fpm) and Xcache v1.3.1 along with MariaDB 5.2.6 64bit RPM binaries.
After installing it all manually, I came across a an awesome bash shell install script over at webhostingtalk.com called Centmin created by BTCental. This would reduce alot of the manual installation work involved!
Centmin is a bash script developed for use on CentOS 5.
It is designed to provide a fully functional NMP plus DNS stack – using minimal resources.BTCentral Centmin features:
– Updates any pre-installed software (via Yum)
– Secures /tmp (and /var/tmp) directories
– Installs development tools needed for compilation of Nginx and NSD
– Sets server to use your local timezone
– Installs Nginx, MySQL, PHP 5.3.6 (with FPM)
– Installs NSD (DNS Server – a low-memory alternative to BIND)
– Installs NTP (Other than on OpenVZ VPS)
– Installs Sendmail (enables PHP to use the mail function)
– Optional: Installs Alternative PHP Cache
Current Version: 1.1.0 (Released 29/04/2011)
Be sure to follow us on Twitter to keep informed of the latest updates.
How to use:
1) Download the script from:
London, UK (via Linode): wget http://www.centmin.com/download.php

So I modified the Centmin script with my own version of installation options and additional parameters. Then proceeded to do a few test installations on my local VirtualBox CentOS 5.6 based server. Update: I made a 2nd revision to add Memcached server support

- Changed Nginx configure options with addition options and Google Perftool tcmalloc support
- Changed PHP 5.3.6 php-fpm installation to compile from source with additional options
- Both Nginx and PHP compiled with OpenSSL 1.0.0d support instead of OpenSSL 0.9.8e
- Changed config/php-fpm/www.conf to config/php-fpm/php-fpm.conf with adjusted options

- Added config/mysql/my.cnf tuned for MariaDB 5.2.6
- Added config/xcache/xcache.ini settings for Xcache v1.3.1
- Added config/nginx/fastcgi_params with buffer tuning
