I've written a simple installer script for a stand-alone Nginx installation.. just have one little bug to work out. But it seems the Passenger installer would work just as well. I figured that PCRE might be installed on the servers but I was following the lead from some WebFaction Rails documentation, which included the manual PCRE installation in the section about installing Nginx.

Thanks for this!

1) Our Passenger apps use nginx so if you do not mind using an installation of nginx that was compiled with Passenger you could use a Passenger app. See:

[testweb100@web100 ~]$ find webapps/passenger/nginx
webapps/passenger/nginx
webapps/passenger/nginx/conf
webapps/passenger/nginx/conf/mime.types
webapps/passenger/nginx/conf/nginx.conf
webapps/passenger/nginx/proxy_temp
webapps/passenger/nginx/client_body_temp
webapps/passenger/nginx/sbin
webapps/passenger/nginx/sbin/nginx
webapps/passenger/nginx/logs
webapps/passenger/nginx/logs/nginx.pid
webapps/passenger/nginx/logs/error.log
webapps/passenger/nginx/fastcgi_temp
[testweb100@web100 ~]$

2) I just checked and pcre and pcre-devel are installed on all of our servers so step 4 and using –with-pcre in step 5 should not be needed.
