Serving multiple webapps from different folders

Few days ago I had to add a wordpress installation within the same environment where a Codeigniter app was already running happily and undisturbed.

It took me a while to figure out how to keep separate folders on the filesystem, and serve the blog from a subfolder of the main domain:

rsync (Everyone seems to like -z, but it is much slower for me)

a: archive mode - rescursive, preserves owner, preserves permissions, preserves modification times, preserves group, copies symlinks as symlinks, preserves device files.
H: preserves hard-links
A: preserves ACLs

	# The following recipe works with upstream rails proxy for custom 404s and 500s.
	# Errors are usually handled via rails except if proxy is really down, in which case
	# nginx needs a bit more configration.

	server {
	# ...

	location / {
	error_page 404 = @rails; # let rails show a page with suggestions
	try_files maintenance.html @rails;

	#dynamic port forwarding, binds a socket on the local machine
	ssh -D 8080 user@host

	#tunnel through proxy examples
	chromium-browser --proxy-server="socks5://localhost:8080"
	curl --socks5 localhost:8080 url

	#most apps should recognize this
	export HTTP_PROXY="socks5://localhost:8080"

	# Usage:
	#
	# Start with:
	#
	# sudo /use/local/sbin/nginx -c /path/to/this/nginx.conf
	#
	# Tail logs:
	#
	# $ sudo tail -f /tmp/access.log /tmp/error.log /tmp/match.log
	#

	# Start the old vagrant
	$ vagrant init ubuntu_saucy
	$ vagrant up

	# You should see a message like:
	# [default] The guest additions on this VM do not match the install version of
	# VirtualBox! This may cause things such as forwarded ports, shared
	# folders, and more to not work properly. If any of those things fail on
