If you’re like me, you one time installed RVM/Passenger/passenger-install-nginx-module and realized you couldn’t start nginx the normal way. This is designed for CentOS/RHEL flavors and has been tested in CentOS 6.2
cd ~/ curl https://raw.github.com/blackisthelight/nginx-centos-daemon/master/nginx >> nginx chmod +x nginx sudo cp ./nginx /etc/init.d/nginx sudo /etc/init.d/nginx (stop|start|restart)
Enjoy! Email me if you have any questions–andrew@needtagger.com
