directory index of "/sites/mysite.com/public/" is forbidden <=== error is driving me nuts

[mrmanishs]

So, I'm getting the error in the subject:

directory index of "/sites/mysite.com/public/" is forbidden using
nginx/passenger. I've looked around, and followed some of the advice,
including changing permissions to 755, but still getting this error.
Does anyone have any idea? This is my server config in nginx:

server {
listen 80;
server_name www.mysite.com;
root /sites/mysite.com/public;
passenger_enabled on;
access_log logs/mysite.access.log main;

# Main location
location / {

proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For
$proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

client_max_body_size 10m;
client_body_buffer_size 128k;

proxy_connect_timeout 14400;
proxy_send_timeout 14400;
proxy_read_timeout 14400;

proxy_buffer_size 4k;
proxy_buffers 4 32k;
proxy_busy_buffers_size 64k;
proxy_temp_file_write_size 64k;
}

}

Take out the location block... None of that stuff needs to be in one
anyway.

Thank You!

Not sure why just commenting out the internals of the location block
wouldn't work - had to comment out opening and closing of the location
block.

If you specify a location block then you must re-specify
"passenger_enabled on" inside it.

So I'm fighting exactly this myself now and it's extremely frustrating.

I've got:

server {

  listen *:80;

  server_name           appserver.example.com;

  set $maintenance "off";

  if ($maintenance = "on") {

      return 503;

  }

  index  index.html index.htm index.php;

  access_log            /var/log/nginx/appserver.example.com.access.log combined;

  error_log             /var/log/nginx/appserver.example.com.error.log;

  location / {

    root      /var/www/apps/;

  }

  location ~ ^/flask_passenger(/.*|$). {

    alias /var/www/apps/flask_passenger/public$1;

    passenger_app_root /var/www/apps/flask_passenger;

    passenger_base_uri /flask_passenger;

    passenger_document_root /var/www/apps/flask_passenger/public;

    passenger_enabled on;

    passenger_python /usr/bin/python3;

  }

  passenger_enabled on;

  passenger_ruby /usr/bin/ruby2.0;

}

And I keep getting this error:

2015/06/03 14:56:26 [error] 1283#0: *1 directory index of "/var/www/apps/flask_passenger/" is forbidden, client: 10.42.99.9, server: appserver.example.com, request: "GET /flask_passenger/ HTTP/1.1", host: "appserver.example.com"

No matter what I do I can't seem to make this work and it's extremely frustrating.

I do not see any other passenger errors.

Oh, something I should add, I'm attempting to set this up (python) with 5.x non-enterprise and I'm attempting to setup geminabox using 4.x enterprise and I'm getting exactly the same thing in both places.

The super annoying part is we have running app servers on the 4.x branch with the SAME EXACT nginx config as the new one I'm attempting to setup that work just fine.

Maybe a silly suggestion, but is Passenger actually able to recognize your app, i.e. does it have a passenger_wsgi.py file in the app root, as well as public/ and tmp/ folders?

- Daniel

[Brian Hechinger]

Unfortunately it does have all those things. :)

I'm following this: https://www.phusionpassenger.com/documentation/Users%20guide%20Nginx.html#deploying_a_wsgi_app

-brian

[Daniel Knoppel]

Yeah, that's correct. The only difference I noticed was that you have an extra dot after the location, but not sure off the top of my head what difference that would make.

And you also verified that the entire path to the app (/var/www/apps/flask_passenger/public) is accessible to the user that passenger is running as? I mean all those dirs are readable + executable etc.?

Has the app itself worked on a passenger setup before? Maybe try it without the suburi config if that's possible?

- Daniel

[Brian Hechinger]

D'Oh!!!

That extra dot was EXACTLY the issue!!

That's the end of sentence marker and shouldn't be part of the location. That document could probably be updated to be more clear.

Now I get passenger errors.

Which is MUCH better than before. :)

THANK YOU!!!!!

-brian

[Brian Hechinger]

Ok, so. Got that all sorted. The geminabox on 4.x enterprise is still not going well. I'm not doing Sub-URI there, so it's not the same issue. :(

2015/06/10 17:41:08 [error] 13355#0: *22 "/etc/gemininabox/public/index.html" is not found (2: No such file or directory), client: 192.168.199.210, server: gems.example.com, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", host: "gems.example.com"

server {

  listen                *:80;

  server_name           gems.example.com;

    index  index.html index.htm index.php;

  access_log            /var/log/nginx/gems.example.com.access.log;

  error_log             /var/log/nginx/gems.example.com.error.log;

  location / {

    root  /etc/gemininabox/public;

  }

  passenger_enabled on;

  passenger_ruby /usr/bin/ruby2.2;

}

I'm not getting any passenger errors, just that nginx error.

-brian

[Brian Hechinger]

Oh, also:

root@inf-cmhf-proxy-01:/var/log/nginx# ls -l /etc/geminabox/

total 12

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root      root        12 Jun  6 18:57 config.ru -> geminabox.ru

-rw-r--r-- 1 geminabox geminabox  174 Jun  2 19:30 geminabox.ru

drwxr-xr-x 2 root      root      4096 Jun  6 18:57 public

drwxr-xr-x 2 root      root      4096 Jun  6 18:57 tmp

root@inf-cmhf-proxy-01:/var/log/nginx#

[Daniel Knoppel]

Try moving the (nginx) root line outside of the location (to the server level). If you don't want that, then I think you need to re-specify passenger_enabled on; inside the location block.

- Daniel

[Brian Hechinger]

I've tried removing the location block completely leaving just the root. I've also tried putting the passenger_enable in the location block.

Neither have changed the behavior at all. :(

-brian

[Daniel Knoppel]

Well, I assumed you didn't paste the entire config since you got the previous one working while it was missing the most important line, the passenger_root. But maybe that's the problem still.

- Daniel

[Brian Hechinger]

I'm using the jfryman/nginx puppet module to set this all up which puts passenger_root into the main nginx.conf. I'm just showing the site files. I can paste the entire thing. Allow me to do so.

root@inf-cmhf-proxy-01:/etc/nginx# cat nginx.conf

user www-data;

worker_processes 1;

worker_rlimit_nofile 1024;

error_log  /var/log/nginx/error.log;

pid        /var/run/nginx.pid;

events {

  worker_connections 1024;

    }

http {

  include       /etc/nginx/mime.types;

  default_type  application/octet-stream;

  access_log  /var/log/nginx/access.log;

  sendfile    on;

  server_tokens on;

  types_hash_max_size 1024;

  types_hash_bucket_size 512;

  server_names_hash_bucket_size 64;

}

server {

  error_log             /var/log/nginx/gems.example.com.error.log;

#  location / {

#    passenger_enabled on;

#    passenger_ruby /usr/bin/ruby2.2;

#  }

  passenger_enabled on;

  passenger_ruby /usr/bin/ruby2.2;

}

[Daniel Knoppel]

Oh, I didn't notice before but it looks like another spelling error ;)

> root  /etc/gemininabox/public;

> ls -l /etc/geminabox/

I…

I…

I must now sell all my computers and become a garbage collector.

Thanks. :)
