Nginx worker process cant access config.ru

Question

I have set up my RoR app on DO Ubuntu x64. On Nginx port 8080.

My config:

server {
  listen 8080;
 # server_name www.mydomain.com;
  passenger         


        

Answer 1

You need to relax permissions to that the Nginx worker process can access your application directory, by making the directory group- and world-executable:

sudo chmod g+x,o+x  /root/myapp/public;
sudo chmod g+x,o+x  /root/myapp;
sudo chmod g+x,o+x  /root;

and it's done. Good Luck!

Please check the $PATH for your the user www-data. The fact that the command cd was not found, is troubling.

Also please run this command

sudo -u www-data stat /home/edgars/Proj/config.ru

ensure that your www-data user can stat the above file. This will help you understand if you set the file permissions correctly.
