Can't install nginx using epel repo on Centos 7 (64bit)

I've just built a 64 bit Centos server and I'm trying to install NGINX on it. Using the epel 7 (beta) repo I get the following error when trying to install:

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * base: mirror.as29550.net
 * epel: mirror.vorboss.net
 * extras: centos.hyve.com

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Has anyone managed to install NGINX via yum successfully?

Solution 1:

I would propose adding the nginx repo

sudo rpm -Uvh http://nginx.org/packages/centos/7/noarch/RPMS/nginx-release-centos-7-0.el7.ngx.noarch.rpm

That should solve your problem.

Cheers.

Solution 2:

That doesn't seem right as the nginx version in in the EPEL repository for RHEL7 x86_64 is 1.6.1.

Try yum clean all; yum update and repeat the installation process. If it still fails, try to specify a different mirror (as the one you're using seems out of sync).

Solution 3:

You didn't install the EPEL 7 repository. That's the EPEL 6 repository. Remove it and try again.

Better yet, install nginx from their own repositories to ensure that you stay up to date with critical and less critical upstream fixes.

Solution 4:

This happened to me. I updated my EPEL repository with

yum update epel-release

and boom! I was able to install nginx with

yum install nginx
