Using passenger, nginx for dev testing

Rails
1

I am trying to get passenger + nginx to work on my localhost for a rails
3 app, I keep getting a page showing “403 Forbidden, nginx/0.8.53”?

my nginx.conf looks like this

server {
     listen       3000;
     server_name  localhost;
     root /home/yadav/dev/rails/projects/TestApp/public;
     passenger_enabled on;
     rails_spawn_method smart;
     rails_env development;

in my rails app i don’t have a index.html page under the public folder.
instead is got a home controller with a view for my home page, my
routes.rb has the following entry:

root :to => “home#index”

if I put a index.html page under public i see it, but that’s not what I
want. how can I get my test app to run without the index page under
public?

Why bother? This isn’t a production server, so why not just use a
single Unicorn or Thin instance, or whatever Rails runs for you by
default?

I’ve never yet found a good reason to run Passenger for development.

I am learning that’s why I am bothering =) Before I can deploy to my
test “production” webserver I want to figure out things.

I managed to get passenger working with Apache that I built from source
just now, that went a bit smoother. Still I would like to know how to do
the same thing with nginx.

Any ideas on how to get nginx working?
