Rails 3 + Nginx + Passenger -- Routing index

Question

I have no index.html file in my public folder. My rails routes file routes this, and it works fine when I run 'rails server' on my machine.

I'm trying to deploy the app. I have passenger and nginx running When I run rails server on my local machine, it works fine. But it's just trying to access static file when I try to access it on the production server.

Here's my nginx conf:

worker_processes 1; #pid logs/nginx.pid; events { worker_connections 1024; } http { passenger_root /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/passenger-3.0.2; passenger_ruby /usr/bin/ruby; include mime.types; default_type application/octet-stream; sendfile on; keepalive_timeout 65; server { listen 80; server_name mmjconsult.com; root /www/mmjs/public; access_log logs/host.access.log; passenger_enabled on; } } 

Thank you for any help. I really appreciate it.

Have you found out what your problem was?

I actually run into the same problem, and of course it was all my fault: I'm using capistrano to deploy my app, and just forgot that it sits in the "current" directory. So instead of

root /var/www/myapp/public; 

the app was actually in

root /var/www/myapp/current/public; 

Hope this helps.
