Application not accesible

Rails
1

I have installed nginx + passenger on my VPS with Centos 5.4. I have
installed my application and my nginx config is as follows.

http {
passenger_root /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-3.0.8;
passenger_ruby /usr/local/bin/ruby;

include       mime.types;
default_type  application/octet-stream;
sendfile        on;
keepalive_timeout  65;
server {

listen 80;
server_name 115.112.187.132;
root /root/projectfedena-projectfedena_v2.0-a213125/public;
passenger_enabled on;

    location / {
        root   html;
        index  index.html index.htm;
    }

error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
root html;
}
}

But when I access the ip address (haven’t assigned an URL as yet) I only
see the apache2 test page instead of the application landing page. My
log file shows the following entries

[Wed Aug 24 12:27:52 2011] [error] [client 122.164.136.38] Directory
index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/html/
[Wed Aug 24 13:03:28 2011] [error] [client 122.164.136.38] Directory
index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/html/
[Wed Aug 24 14:40:30 2011] [error] [client 122.164.136.38] Directory
index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/html/

I am not sure why Nginx is still accessing /var/www/html when I have
mentioned the root directory.

Wonder what could be wrong. Any help would be appreciated

Are your requests definitely getting through to nginx rather than
apache ?

Is there a sure shot way of finding out. A ps -A returned the following
:slight_smile:
6975 ? 00:00:00 httpd
6977 ? 00:00:00 httpd
6978 ? 00:00:00 httpd
6979 ? 00:00:00 httpd
6980 ? 00:00:00 httpd
6981 ? 00:00:00 httpd
6982 ? 00:00:00 httpd
6983 ? 00:00:00 httpd
6984 ? 00:00:00 httpd

I guess these are nginx processes because apache processes usually run
as “apache2” and not as “httpd”. I am attaching a screenshot of the page
displayed when I visit the url. Thanks in advance for helping out.

Oh, I come from an Ubuntu background. Let me check the etc/rc5.d
directory.

I stopped httpd and started nginx. Now I see the page

Welcome to nginx!

But not the application home page. Not sure what is wrong. Any help
would be appreciated.

Thanks for helping.
