        listen 80;
        server_name www.example.com;
        location / {
                root /home/deploy/www/application_name/current/public;
                passenger_enabled on;
                rails_env production;
        }

wget -O init-deb.sh http://library.linode.com/assets/660-init-deb.sh
sudo mv init-deb.sh /etc/init.d/nginx
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/nginx
sudo /usr/sbin/update-rc.d -f nginx defaults

Now you can do something like that:

sudo service nginx start
sudo service nginx stop
sudo service nginx restart

Capistrano

In your local app add gem 'capistrano' in your Gemfile

In your application dirictory:

bundle install
capify .

This will create the files Capfile and config/deploy.rb where settings are stored deploy, as well as tasks. Replace this files by gist:3868139 and edit with your data.

Create the database.yml for your server configuration in:

/home/deploy/database.yml

Still in your local app and run this:

cap deploy:setup

This will create the directories in your server.

Now you can make deploy of your application:

cap deploy
