This has taught me much though.
I am trying to make apache co-exist with nginx which is difficult enough (managing ports, virtual host conf) but we are also using gems for things like nginx which add to the complexity. I suspect that some may be interested in what I finally work out (and I'm maybe another 4-6 hours away from completing this). What I didn't realize was that in my process of flailing for answers, I failed to preserve an intermediate configuration that semi-worked and so I reverted to the file that I posted to the list yesterday which failed to account for ruby being in /usr/local (ruby-enterprise) and so I was getting failures because it couldn't find the command. This was clearly my issue and it had me going for a while. Anyway, I've only been at this since Monday and I am quite pleased. I have managed to add some custom 'facts', get some pretty complicated chaining of package installations, work through some reasonably sophisticated templates so that things like apache & nginx config files, sysv initscripts, virtual hosts are all delivered with a high enough level of flexibility for mods, rewrite rules, etc. for each vhost.
