Nginx + Passenger + Ubuntu init script

Nginx + Passenger + Ubuntu init script

Here is the init script for Nginx while we are going to use with Phusion Passenger on ubuntu. I have used it on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

Create a file "/etc/init.d/nignx" and add below code into it.   
      vim  /etc/init.d/nignx

Then add nginx into update-rc.d for start nginx whenever system boot,
      update-rc.d nginx defaults

Make that file executable by changing permission,
       chmod   +x  /etc/init.d/nignx

 Now, start Nginx
       /etc/init.d/nginx start
