Install Centmin Mod on a CentOS 6 VPS

Centmin Mod is a shell script which provides menu based installer that allows you to install and manage the latest versions of Nginx webserver, MariaDB/MySQL, PHP and a DNS server on a CentOS VPS, without using a control panel. Centmin Mod is a standalone stack and it does not work with control panels like WHM/cPanel or DirectAdmin.

In this tutorial we will show you how to install Centmin Mod on a CentOS 6 VPS. Please note that Centmin Mod currently supports CentOS 5 and CentOS 6. CentOS 7 support is currently being tested and it will be available soon.

First of all, log in to your CentOS VPS as user root and make sure that all packages are up to date

yum -y update

Install the following requirements

yum -y install bc wget unzip yum-plugin-fastestmirror

Change the current working directory and download the latest stable Centmin Mod release

cd /opt/
wget http://centminmod.com/download/centmin-v1.2.3-eva2000.07.zip

Unpack the downloaded zip archive

unzip centmin-v1.2.3-eva2000.07.zip

This will create a new ‘centmin-v1.2.3mod’ directory

cd centmin-v1.2.3mod/

Give execute permissions to the centmin.sh script, so we can run it.

chmod +x centmin.sh

Run the script:

./centmin.sh

You will have the following options:

1).  Centmin Install
2).  Add Nginx vhost domain
3).  NSD setup domain name DNS
