However, as one of my current projects will be shuffled off to a cPanel CentOS server soon, I thought I would check how easy it is to install all this on the cPanel side. This mini-how-to assumes you are running the latest cPanel (WHM 11.42.0 (build 23) as of this writing) running on CentOS 6. Assuming you have this configuration, then you will already have git installed and running as required by npm in some instances.
Last night cPanel upgraded the version of MySQL on one of our servers to the latest MySQL 5.5. Unfortunately this results in over 4000 emails from that server, crying that various websites couldn't connect to the MySQL database. The error found in /var/log/mysqld.log was
