Passenger for Nginx

Server NGINX
1

Just for your information, in case you haven’t been flooded by the
tweets and
blog posts, Passenger (a.k.a mod_rails) is available for nginx starting
with
passenger 2.2.0.
Apparently it’s targeted for nginx 0.6.36 (from
bin/passenger-install-nginx-module).

It is currently only compatible for the 0.6.3* series of nginx.
