I went through a tutorial http://craiccomputing.blogspot.com/2010/10/passenger-3-nginx-and-rvm-on-mac-os-x.html and everything was ok. There were no errors.

Nginx with Passenger support was successfully installed.



The Nginx configuration file (/opt/nginx/conf/nginx.conf)

must contain the correct configuration options in order for Phusion Passenger

to function correctly.



This installer has already modified the configuration file for you! The

following configuration snippet was inserted:



  http {

      ...

      passenger_root /home/alex/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/gems/passenger-3.0.14;

      passenger_ruby /home/alex/.rvm/wrappers/ruby-1.9.3-p194/ruby;

      ...

  }



After you start Nginx, you are ready to deploy any number of Ruby on Rails

applications on Nginx.

However I can't start it.

alex@ubuntu:~$ sh -x /etc/init.d/nginx start

sh: 0: Can't open /etc/init.d/nginx



sudo /etc/init.d/nginx start

sudo: /etc/init.d/nginx: command not found

The directory opt/nginx exists and there are files in it. Localhost:80 doesn't work either.

Any suggestions?
