Nginx + Passenger: 404 errors, not running rails application

[fegul]

I've tried to get Nginx and Passenger working properly several times
on Ubuntu (I've used 9.10, 10.04, and both server and desktop
versions) I've been using virtual machines, physical boxes, etc. still
I run into this error:

Nginx serves up the static "Welcome Aboard" page and when I click on
"application environment" or try to access a controller, I just get a
404 error and the logs state "no such file or directory"

To install nginx, I followed the docs on the Passenger site and ran
through the automatic option where the lines with the location of
passenger and ruby are automatically inserted and I specified
"passenger_enabled on;" in the server block and set rails_env to
development.

I'm wondering if it's a permissions error (in order to run passenger-
status without permission errors I have to use sudo) but I'm not sure.

Any ideas?

"application environment" only works with RAILS_ENV=development. On
Phusion Passenger RAILS_ENV defaults to production.

Right, which is why I set rails_env to development in nginx. Beyond
that though, I still can't access any controllers

If you have any 'location' blocks then you need to re-specify
passenger_enabled in them.

Wow. And just like that it worked! :) did I just happen to miss that
in the documentation or something?

Hi, reading this post I have the same problem. But still cannot access my rails app. My NGINX config file is like that:

    #}

}

But still getting the 404 not found error. Do you have any idea of what am I missing ?

thank you

Hi,

Sorry for the late response. Did you get it working? I see nothing
clearly wrong, is there something in your nginx error log? (check both
the system wide one and the one you specified).

Kind regards,
Tinco
