h1. Setting up Nginx + Passenger  

 Passenger packages/repos are available at http://passenger.stealthymonkeys.com/ 


 Install packages 

 <pre> 
     # yum install -y nginx-passenger 
 </pre> 

 Create self signed certificate 

 <pre> 
     # cd /etc/nginx/ 
     # openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024 
     # openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr 
     # cp server.key server.key.org 
     # openssl rsa -in server.key.org -out server.key 
     # openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt 
 </pre> 

 Make a local copy of the apps `public` directory (local to rails, as nginx/passenger doesn't seem to like symbolic links) 

 <pre> 
     # cd /usr/share/foreman 
     # rm public 
     # cp -a /var/lib/foreman/public . 
 </pre> 

 Add to `/etc/nginx/nginx.conf`: 

 <pre> 
     env PATH; 
 </pre> 

 Create foreman application config file `/etc/nginx/conf.d/foreman.conf`: 

 <pre> 
     server { 
         listen 443; 
         server_name _; 
         ssl on; 
         ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/server.crt; 
         ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/server.key; 
         access_log /var/log/nginx/foreman_access.log; 
         error_log /var/log/nginx/foreman_error.log debug; 
         root /usr/share/foreman/public; 
         passenger_enabled on; 
         passenger_user foreman; 
         passenger_group foreman; 
         #location / { 
         #} 
     } 
 </pre>
