Yes... in this case I'll never be commenting out just one that I can think of, because it's a cluster started by cap.

Nice! I've installed nginx from source and switched to this. Here's my config now (for my redmine instalation)

[code]
upstream mongrel-redmine { server 127.0.0.1:9500; server 127.0.0.1:9501; server 127.0.0.1:9502; }
server {
listen 443;
server_name example.com;
ssl on;
ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/certs/myssl.crt; ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/certs/myssl.key;
root /var/www/deployed-redmine/current/public;
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html; location = /50x.html { root /var/www/nginx-default; }
if (-f $document_root/system/maintenance.html) { rewrite ^(.*)$ /system/maintenance.html last; break; }
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/index.html $uri.html @mongrel;
}
location @mongrel {
proxy_pass http://mongrel-redmine;
proxy_set_header X-FORWARDED_PROTO https;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect off;
}
}
