Simple question.
CentOS 6.x, EasyApache 4.
Try installing Nginx from its official repos.
That's a no go.
I get presented with a conflict message regarding Nginx and EasyApache's httpd package.
Is this intentional cPanel folks?
Why on earth would a yum package, unless it's the same software as EasyApache's (e.g httpd), ever conflict with EasyApache 4?
It's a little bit tricky but also can be done that way:
Create a repo,
get SRPM of nginx.
Edit .spec file, make "provides webserver" something else, like "provides reverse-proxy".
rebuild rpm.
Distribute it from your own repo.
It's just one line edit change, so it can be done automatically with a script. Easy for updates.
Caveats: You have to create your own repo and maintain it.
Another solution:
This could be integrated into script, but servers need "Development Tools" to use rpmbuild to build the new package, then install it.
