Finally: Passenger/mod_rails for Nginx!

I was really glad to finally read the news that Passenger 2.2.0 now supports my favorite webserver nginx too.

I always wanted to get rid of the somehow apache monster, which is an overkill in some scenarios (imho).

Nginx has a very easy configuration and everything I need.

If you want to test passenger with nginx it’s as simple as:


sudo gem install passenger
sudo passenger-install-nginx-module

# edit the default config:
sudo vi /opt/nginx/conf/nginx.conf

# start nginx
sudo /opt/nginx/sbin/nginx

There is also a Peepcode Screencast explaining the steps.

I’m happy :)
