403 Forbidden - Nginx + Passenger - Rails

Question

I have installed passenger with nginx but it gives me 403 error. I have tried changing the user of folder multiple times, but it didn't work.

Here is the error:

2016/10/22 21:13:26 [error] 31890#0: *1 directory index of "/home/ubuntu/testapp/" is forbidden, client: 45.127.106.26, server: 52.91.45.232, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", host: "52.91.45.232"
2016/10/22 21:13:29 [error] 31890#0: *1 directory index of "/home/ubuntu/testapp/" is forbidden, client: 45.127.106.26, server: 52.91.45.232, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", host: "52.91.45.232"

Here is my nginx.conf:

user www-data;
worker_processes  1;

#error_log  logs/error.log;
#error_log  logs/error.log  notice;
#error_log  logs/error.log  info;

}

Here is my directory:

ls -l
total 4
drwxrwxr-x 12 www-data www-data 4096 Oct 22 20:45 testapp

I'm not able to get this right. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

You don't need to add passenger_ruby and passenger_ruby in nginx file. You can look into the file /etc/nginx.conf. you can see passenger_root and passenger_ruby having the ini extension just uncomment it. Or there will be line that looks like include /etc/passenger.conf just uncomment it. I think your problem is with passenger wrapper.
