Stories similar to “No package found” error when installing NGINX on CentOS 5

I'd like to install NginX as a reverse proxy on CentOS. I know three different ways to install NginX:

Compile itself Install over EPEL Install over official NginX package repository

Which way would you recommend for production use? Are there any cons for installing NginX over the official source?

error building deb package 42 weeks 6 days ago

I'm trying to build a deb of a more recent version of Nginx.

I am on Ubuntu 12.04, I have the latest stable version of nginx added to my ppa

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nginx/stable -y

It has been running perfectly for nearly a year.

Nginx with SSL package 37 weeks 4 days ago

I'm trying to install nginx using the package manager. Usually I'd do this:

sudo apt-get install nginx

but I need nginx to have SSL support. I could compile nginx from source with SSL support, but I'd like to use a package manager just to make it easier to upgrade or remove if I need to.

Does the nginx package compile with SSL support or is there a way to make it?

Thanks.

nginx user permissions 29 weeks 5 days ago

I have switched recently to nginx from Apache2.

I have setup everything and when I sudo nginx -t it says everything is fine.

I am getting this error when trying to install from PPA. Any idea what could be the problem? Will it keep my current nginx configuration?

dI logged into my EC2 console created a new instance and attached an Elastice IP to it. Then I logged into the server and installed Nginx:

$ sudo apt-get install nginx $ sudo /etc/init.d/nginx start $ Starting nginx: nginx.

When I navigate to the Elastic IP (or Public DNS) I get nothing. The default setting should be enough to show me the default Nginx welcome page right?

Nginx Init.d script 35 weeks 4 days ago

Hey i need some help with the Init.d script for Nginx This is my Nginx files locations -

nginx path prefix: "/usr/local/nginx" nginx binary file: "/usr/local/nginx/nginx" nginx configuration prefix: "/usr/local/nginx" nginx configuration file: "/usr/local/nginx/nginx.conf" nginx pid file: "/usr/local/nginx/nginx.pid" nginx error log file: "/usr/local/nginx/logs/error.log" nginx http

I downloaded and extracted the nginx source to ~/nginx-1.0.11, then downloaded PCRE 8.20 directly since the latest version of the Passenger installer can't download it automatically. I did the typical ./configure, make, sudo make install for PCRE which put it in /usr/local/lib by default. So far so good.
