Hi there. Can you confirm that you’re able to install NGINX? It appears the problem is with NGINX and not Ghost itself. It’s recommended for Ghost installations:

NGINX is installed and running please check the steps above that I used to install ghost … I can also confirm that ghost doesnt think maria db is mysql though its installed and running

Ah I see now, you’re using Ghost-CLI which is only supported on an Ubuntu stack. You can find out more information here: GitHub - TryGhost/Ghost-CLI: CLI Tool for installing & updating Ghost

For future references, have you checked out CentOS’ Extended Lifecycle Support (ELS)? It provides 5 more years of security and bug fix updates for your OS. Just a heads up in case you haven’t already considered it.
