I've seen other similar questions but none with satisfactory answers, so here goes. I've installed Ruby, Rails, Nginx and Passenger and tried to configure it to all work together.

Here is the relevant part of /opt/nginx/conf/nginx.conf

server { listen 80; server_name .myapp.dev; # There is an entry in my local /etc/hosts file for this passenger_enabled on; root /srv/www/myapp.dev/public; access_log /srv/www/myapp.dev/logs/access_log; error_log /srv/www/myapp.dev/logs/error_log warn; } 

There is another server block but that's listening for localhost so I don't think it's causing any issues.

Here is the output of ls -la /srv/www/myapp.dev/

drwxr-xr-x 3 josh josh 4096 Dec 4 19:12 . drwxr-xr-x 3 josh josh 4096 Dec 4 18:34 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 josh josh 4096 Dec 4 18:34 logs lrwxrwxrwx 1 josh josh 37 Dec 4 19:12 public -> /home/josh/rails/myapp/public 

I wonder if possibly there's a permissions error, but I don't see any error indicating that it's even attempting to run the Ruby.

This is what gets added to /opt/nginx/logs/error.log when nginx is restarted

Nginx serves static files, for example if I visit myapp.dev/500.html then I see the default Rails 500 error page. Phusion Passenger is mentioned in the logs so it seems to be working (even though it is the error.log, the outcome doesn't seem negative).

I'm tearing my hair out trying to get this to work. Anyone got any ideas?

EDIT

Here is the output of rake routes

rake routes Prefix Verb URI Pattern Controller#Action posts GET /posts(.:format) posts#index POST /posts(.:format) posts#create new_post GET /posts/new(.:format) posts#new edit_post GET /posts/:id/edit(.:format) posts#edit post GET /posts/:id(.:format) posts#show PATCH /posts/:id(.:format) posts#update PUT /posts/:id(.:format) posts#update DELETE /posts/:id(.:format) posts#destroy root GET / posts#index 

But visiting myapp.dev/posts returns 404.

  • Exactly what happens when you try to load a page which should be served by your app? Commented Dec 4, 2013 at 20:33
  • It returns a 404 error. Commented Dec 4, 2013 at 20:34

Passenger can't find your application....

Change root /srv/www/myapp.dev/public; into root /home/josh/rails/myapp/public;

  • Yes that's worked, thanks. I'm trying to get my head around where to put everything. I've come from a LAMP background where I put everything in /srv/www/myapp.dev/public_html, but it doesn't look like this is a good idea with a rails application because there are the tests directory etc. which I don't think should be accessible. Is this correct? Commented Dec 5, 2013 at 9:24
