Install passenger with yum-installed nginx

Question

Is it possible to install passenger into nginx that has been installed previously using yum?

I need to provide a directory prefix for the install-nginx-module, just wondering where that would be on Centos?

passenger-install-nginx-module  --auto-download --auto --prefix=$nginx_directory_prefix

One of the Passenger developers provides a yum repository for RHEL/CentOS. (You need EPEL to use it.) This is probably the easiest way to get up and running.

Looks like the yum packages are a fiar bit behind ... seems like building from source might be the safest option? – Toby Hede Oct 11 '12 at 00:00
That depends entirely on your environment and business requirements. – Michael Hampton Oct 11 '12 at 00:07

No. Nginx does not support loadable modules. It is impossible to install Phusion Passenger into an existing Nginx binary without recompilation.
