It's really cool, phusion.nl make my life a little bit easier, nginx with mod_rails can be installed in 2 steps:

gem install passenger
passenger-install-nginx-module

Not neccessary known about configure, make, install and other. Also you can use deb package in Ubuntu server case.

But, what's happen, guys, I want a latest nginx stable instead out-of-date 0.6 branch. So, I show you how I use two of version nginx (stable 0.6.3 by modrails defaults and latest 0.7.6). You can use one of them on the yours server.

mkdir ~/temp && cd ~/temp
wget ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/pcre-7.9.tar.gz
tar xzf ./pcre-7.9.tar.gz 

wget http://sysoev.ru/nginx/nginx-0.7.60.tar.gz
tar xzvf ./nginx-0.7.60.tar.gz
cd ~/temp/nginx-0.7.60
./configure --add-module=/opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20090610/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-2.2.3/ext/nginx --with-pcre=~/temp/pcre-7.9 --prefix=/opt/nginx076
make
sudo make install
sudo cp /etc/init.d/nginx /etc/init.d/nginx076
sudo sed -i 's,/opt/nginx,/opt/nginx076,g' /etc/init.d/nginx076
sudo /etc/init.d/nginx076 start

That's all. You have a choise to use either aby of version of Nginx webserver.
