Setting up passenger with nginx to serve ruby on rails app - create a current directory? - create a symlink?

[fugee ohu]

Trying to get my rails app into production with nginx and passenger I can't get this to work Am I supposed to create a current directory between my app and it's public directory? Do I need to create a symlink it too? I get 403 or 404 depending on whether or not I use the current directory or put public back where it was Here's my server definition from nginx.conf

server {
   listen 80 default accept_filter=httpready;
   listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
   server_name www.myhostname.com;
   charset utf-8;
   root /usr/home/username/websites/myhostname/public;
   rails_env production;
   passenger_enabled on;
   }

This configuration block looks correct (though the rails_env is
redundant, as it defaults to production).

Can you check your global Nginx log to check whether Passenger has
printed any errors?
