This is what we do for a customer: this allows them to create new
domains/projects just by making a new directory. With passenger and
php-fpm and this setup, he doesn't need to restart/reload *anything*
to start a new website.

server {
listen 80;
server_name _;
server_name_in_redirect off;
passenger_enabled on;
passenger_use_global_queue on;
root /home/customer/sites/$host/public;

if (!-d $document_root) {
#site not (yet) configureerd. Serve default
rewrite (.*) http://default.customer.tld/;
}

location / {
passenger_enabled on;
index index.html index.htm index.php;
}
location ~ .php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
