# If you want to use nginx + passenger, I would suggest to install package first, then delete it.
# This action will give you init.d script.
# Then simply install passenger and allow it to compile nginx for you.
# Correct the paths in /etc/init.d/nginx script, and you're good to go.

check process nginx with pidfile /var/run/nginx.pid
  start program = "/etc/init.d/nginx start"
  stop program  = "/etc/init.d/nginx stop"
