Passenger Standalone Start Issues

[Varun Jain]

Hi ,

I am trying to get Passenger up and running on my local machine for dev purposes . However , I keep getting the following error :

ID file: /home/superq/blog/tmp/pids/passenger.3000.pid
Log file: /home/superq/blog/log/passenger.3000.log
Environment: development
Accessible via: http://0.0.0.0:3000/

You can stop Phusion Passenger Standalone by pressing Ctrl-C.
===============================================================================
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Passenger::FileSystemException'
  what():  Cannot stat '/home/superq/blog/config.ru': Permission denied (errno=13)
2013/04/15 18:01:14 [alert] 1993#0: worker process 1994 exited on signal 6 (core dumped)

All flies , from the path to config.ru are owned by root . I even set the permission as 0777 on config.ru for it to work but it still did not work . To confirm that passenger was running under root user I used the following command : ps u 1993 and it showed the user as root . I tried with : rails server on the same application and the server started with no issues . What can be the issue here ?

I have the same problem. Any luck fixing this?

Hi,

I am not sure why this exception happens, but you really shouldn't run applications as root. Passenger when run on port 3000 doesn't require root at all, and when run on port 80 is designed to run its workers as the owner of the web application, which typically should be a less privileged user.

Could you try chown -R'ing the webapplication to a less privileged user and then running passenger on it as that user or as root?

Kind regards,
Tinco Andirnga
