thanks it works just fine.
but when I link the rails app at for example rails.domain.com it does the rails stuff and just domain.com gets me to php stuff but if I then type x.domain.com I always get to the rails app but shouldnt I get an error?! anyway probably just a simple vhost thing with nginx..

Great tutorial, although I’m getting an error when nginx is compiling. when it executes the make command, the following error occurs:

make -f objs/Makefile
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/nginx-0.7.62′
cd /usr/lib \
&& make clean \
&& ./config –prefix=/usr/lib/openssl no-shared no-threads \
&& make \
&& make install
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/lib’
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `clean’. Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/lib’
make[1]: *** [/usr/lib/openssl/include/openssl/ssl.h] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/nginx-0.7.62′
make: *** [build] Error 2

libssl is in my usr/lib directory, but it doesn’t seem to notice it. I’m running this on ubuntu 9.04 64b vps. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Hi dear,

Thanks for your article. I think there is a typo in:
“/etc/init.d/nginx.conf” should read “/etc/nginx/nginx.conf”

Sorry for the late answer, Torsten. I was on holiday and not around any technical device except my phone! ;-)

“Address already in use” usually means that there’s already a webserver which is bound to the port you want to use for nginx. Give “sudo netstat -tulpe” a shot and see what blocks port 80 (quick guess: Apache). Either stop the Apache if possible or alter nginx’s server directive to port 8080 or any other port you prefer which is not being used on your server. And use a port above 1024 though since the ports below are reserved for common applications.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Hi – great topic and write-up! I’m trying to get this to work but when I finally execute /etc/init.d/nginx start then I get the error "[emerg]: bind() to 0.0.0.0:80 failed (98: Address already in use)".


Any thoughts on what a possible solution could be to resolve this issue?

Thanks, Torsten
