I'm running on an EC2 instance with Amazon Linux installed and Nginx was installed via passenger-install-nginx-module. The full install process followed was similar to this. The primary difference was that ruby was installed through RVM, as described here.
ngix.conf:
user www; worker_processes 1; events { worker_connections 1024; } http { passenger_root /var/www/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.2/gems/passenger-5.0.9; passenger_ruby /var/www/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.2/wrappers/ruby; include mime.types; default_type application/octet-stream; sendfile on; keepalive_timeout 65; server { listen 80; server_name .example.com; passenger_enabled on; root /var/www/example_com/public; error_page 404 /404.html; error_page 500 502 503 504 /500.html; } } rake routes:
