Yeah. Currently doing it with a shell script, but was curious if there was a "righter" way. Thanks for the help.

Thanks, Casey

afaik, no. but you can easily hack ERB or some other templating system into your deployment process.

ruby -rerb -e 'puts ERB.new(IO.read("nginx.rconf")).result' > nginx.conf

then you could do stuff like:

<% [10, 20, 99].each do |port| %> server { listen <%= port %>; ... } <% end %>

mucho ugly, but it makes things shorter :)

I'm using nginx as a reverse proxy and so I've got several sites which use exactly the same config with the exception of the port. Is there a way to do something like....

array {10,20,99}

for each i in array { server { listen $i; ... } }

Perhaps an odd question, but nginx has all kinds of useful features I'd never thought of before.
