February 20th, 2010

I have create post about installing nginx + php-fpm from source before in here http://adityo.blog.binusian.org/?p=428. In this tutorial i will create a more simple way installing nginx + php-fpm using yum with centos.alt.ru & EPEL repo.

Here it’s goes:

- Create repo
# cd /etc/yum.repos.d
# vim rusia-repo.repo

- and paste this

[rusia-repo]
name=CentOS-$releasever – rusia packages for $basearch
#baseurl=file:///raid/RH/CentOS/$releasever/local/$basearch
baseurl=http://centos.alt.ru/pub/repository/centos/5/i386/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
protect=1

- Enable EPEL repo
# rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/$(uname -m)/epel-release-5-3.noarch.rpm
