CentOS 7.5 does not ship with a recent enough version of PostgreSQL, so it will need to be installed from an external repository. The instructions below show the installation of PostgreSQL 9.6.

You may wish to modify the Redis configuration at `/etc/redis.conf` or `/etc/redis/redis.conf`, however in most cases the default configuration is sufficient.

Create a system user account named `netbox`. We'll configure the WSGI and HTTP services to run under this account. We'll also assign this user ownership of the media directory. This ensures that NetBox will be able to save local files.
!!! note
CentOS users may need to create the `netbox` group first.
```
# adduser --system --group netbox
# chown --recursive netbox /opt/netbox/netbox/media/`

At this point, you should be able to connect to the HTTP service at the server name or IP address you provided. If you are unable to connect, check that the nginx service is running and properly configured. If you receive a 502 (bad gateway) error, this indicates that gunicorn is misconfigured or not running.

!!! info
Please keep in mind that the configurations provided here are bare minimums required to get NetBox up and running. You may want to make adjustments to better suit your production environment.
## Troubleshooting
If you are unable to connect to the HTTP server, check that:
* Nginx/Apache is running and configured to listen on the correct port.
* Access is not being blocked by a firewall. (Try connecting locally from the server itself.)
If you are able to connect but receive a 502 (bad gateway) error, check the following:
* The NetBox system process (gunicorn) is running: `systemctl status netbox`
* nginx/Apache is configured to connect to the port on which gunicorn is listening (default is 8001).
* SELinux is not preventing the reverse proxy connection. You may need to allow HTTP network connections with the command `setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect 1`
