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: 2013
Centmin Mod project FAQ, Change Log and other updates are now all listed on their own web site at centminmod.com. You’ll find latest stable version listed in Change Log and latest beta version being tested on Centmin Mod Google+ Community.
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 :)
Update: September 24th, 2011
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:
-------------------------------------------------------- Centmin 1.2.2-eva2000.20 - http://centminmod.com -------------------------------------------------------- Centmin Menu -------------------------------------------------------- 1).

Change SSHD Port Number 17). Multi-thread compression: pigz,pbzip2,lbzip2,p7zip etc 18). Suhosin PHP Extension install 19). Install FFMPEG and FFMPEG PHP Extension 20). NSD Re-install 21). Exit -------------------------------------------------------- Enter option [ 1 - 21 ] -------------------------------------------------------- |
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 ;)
