installing nginx on centos should be straightforward

[mottwsc]

I have set up a virtual server with a LAMP stack (Centos 6.3) and am now
trying to install nginx to use as a proxy server.  I have been told to
download from sudo rpm -Uvh
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm and
have done so prior to trying to install nginx.  However, something was wrong
with this because when I tried to install nginx (sudo yum install nginx),
there were a number of packages that were skipped due to dependency
problems.  When I tried to start nginx, it could not find the files.

Given that nginx is a well-used server, this has to be easier than what I am
encountering.  Does anyone know the correct commands to set this up so that
nginx can install?

Thanks.
