I'm using a CentOS 6.6 Linux server and I have nginx 1.7.3 Installed on it . How Can I update Nginx to latest stable version (Nginx 1.8) ?

  • Is there a feature in 1.8 that you need? If not, you should stick with 1.7.3 until a newer version is available in the official CentOS repos. – EEAA May 04 '15 at 20:59
  • since the connections to my server are high , the change-log is enticing me to update because it says it can handle more connections . what do u suggest? – sajjad hosseini May 04 '15 at 21:10
  • Don't worry about upgrading until you are *sure* that you need it. The benefits of sticking with the official repos are quite high. – EEAA May 04 '15 at 21:12
  • thank u dear EEAA , I will do as you said . I stick with official repo – sajjad hosseini May 04 '15 at 21:33

you can setup the nginx repository for CentOS as described here: http://nginx.org/en/linux_packages.html#stable or simply run

yum install http://nginx.org/packages/centos/6/noarch/RPMS/nginx-release-centos-6-0.el6.ngx.noarch.rpm

once installed the repo run:

yum install nginx

It should upgrade to the latest stable version
