Ruby Passeger + Nginx or lighthttpi + fgci for shared hosting

view story

http://serverfault.com – I have set up a passenger + nginx setup and I plan to offer a free non-commercial hosting (or in fact on the fly deployment) for rack-based frameworks (e.g. camping, sinatra). I am facing an "issue" with passenger. For each application you need to configure nginx.conf (it would be the same with apache so it is not an nginx issue) with: server { ... passenger_base_uri /app1; passenger_base_uri /app2; passenger_base_uri /app3; } Now this is not inherently bad as, in theory, I could allow a user to run just one app on his webspace but even in this case I need to create a new server directory (HowTos)

I downloaded and extracted the nginx source to ~/nginx-1.0.11, then downloaded PCRE 8.20 directly since the latest version of the Passenger installer can't download it automatically. I did the typical ./configure, make, sudo make install for PCRE which put it in /usr/local/lib by default. So far so good.

The main roadblock right now is that passenger takes some time to restart (ie.
