Hi,
Nice write-up. I’ve installed nginx using the new mod_rails. But tracing the nginx error logs i’ve noticed a lot of error with the Helpers. Is this the solution for it?
thanks!
Found this config line when searching for nginx on redhat es5. I ended up also having to install pcre-devel, openssl-devel and zlib-devel for nginx to find the proper libraries. I was able to successfully build nginx-0.7.65. Thanks!
You may also need to adjust iptables before nginx will actually be able to accept connections from external machines.
