I was just about to switch back to Apache when I found out about Nginx and its rewrite rules probably wouldn’t work with WordPress, thank god I found this post, all working fine on my new VPS, cheers buddy!

Thanks for the post. It’s really helpful. I tried on my own to get Nginx settings working without joy for hours.

Nice howto, will try it this week, my gf will be happy to have a “real” blog engine.

For Satyajit and Jonathan, you should try using two separated locations:
server {
….
location /blog {
fCGI configuration
}
location / {
rails config
}
}
I guess that in this order it should do the trick. Hopefully I’m using a separate vhost on my server for the wordpress
