I was following this tutorial, I got it to a point where I was to test if I can run the /etc/init.d/phpfgci start command. However it gives me this error:

Starting service:spawn-fcgi: can't find user name nginx
[root@Server /]#                                           [FAILED]

I installed nginx directly from the source code, not using yum (tutorial uses yum)... can this be the problem? Reason why I am not using yum to install is because it doesn't give me the updated version of nginx. How do I fix this?
