I was just reading running rails local development with nginx, postgres, and passenger with homebrew on Sam Soffes site, and found it very useful for a quick copy and paste of his configs.
One thing that I found strange though is that he is using /etc/hosts to make local hostnames for web development. If you haven’t found out about the ghost gem yet:
➜ / gem install ghost --no-ri --no-rdoc
Successfully installed ghost-0.2.4
1 gem installed
➜ / ghost add blah.local
[Adding] blah.local -> 127.0.0.1
➜ / ghost list
Listing 1 host(s):
blah.local -> 127.0.0.1
No need to piss about with your /etc/hosts file anymore, this is as simple as it gets.
