Hi,

I wanted to give Passenger a try, everything installs perfectly, Nginx  
doesn’t see to complain, but when I want to access the rails app I get a  
403 Forbidden access, and in the log files of Nginx I see:

directory index of “/home/…” is forbidden, client: IP, server:  
[www.mysite.com](http://www.mysite.com), request: “GET / HTTP/1.1”, host: “[www.mysite.com](http://www.mysite.com)”

Is there somewhere an nginx configuration file that has more info than  
what they provide on their [modrails.com](http://modrails.com) documentation page?
