Passenger FreeBSD 'not found', nginx not started

[BeeRich33]

Just installed nginx and passenger on a FreeBSD box.  It can't be found for some reason:

/home/rich/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.3/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/dependency.rb:315:in `to_specs': Could not find 'passenger' (>= 0) among 11 total gem(s) (Gem::LoadError)

                        }

                        location = /img/favicon.ico { access_log off;}

                }

        }

Now I know the www root is wrong, but I can't get nginx started.  There is no nginx.pid file.  Not sure what to do.

Any advice appreciated.  

Cheers

Since Nginx complains about permission errors and nonexistent
directories and such, maybe you should start Nginx with root
privileges and maybe you should create any nonexistant directories?

Also, you have multiple Ruby installations on your system. The Ruby
that you're using on the shell (/home/rich/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.3) is
clearly different from the one that you told Passenger to use
(/usr/local/bin/ruby21). So you need to fix that by telling Passenger
which Ruby interpreter it's supposed to use.
