Rails 3.1, nginx, Passenger directory index forbid

问题:

I'm getting the following error in nginx (with a 403) when I visit .com:

[error] 5384#0: *1 directory index of "/u/apps/<app-name>/current/public/" is forbidden

I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 and I can't for the life of me get nginx, Passenger, Rails 3.1, and Capistrano to play nicely.

I'm deploying to /u with Capistrano. Everything in /u is 755, owned by the app user.

/u/apps//current/public/ has all my assets, the favicon, and everything else you'd expect.

When I add autoindex on to nginx.conf I get a listing of the public/ directory, which leads me to believe that I don't have a permission problem.

My nginx.conf file is default expect for:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name <app-name>.com;
    passenger_enabled on;
    root /u/apps/<app-name>/current/public/;
}

And my Capistrano deploy.rb file has nothing unusual.

Any ideas why the rails app doesn't seem to be starting?

回答1:

Alright, I answered my own question. I was missing passenger_ruby and passenger_root configurations in my nginx.conf file. Note that the passenger_ruby path needs to be the wrapper if you're using RVM.

passenger_root /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290/gems/passenger-3.0.9;
passenger_ruby /usr/local/rvm/wrappers/ruby-1.9.2-p290/ruby;

If you already have passenger_root and passenger_ruby in your nginx.conf, but having this error, you must have some location blocks. Then you must specify passenger_enabled on; inside each location block.

In case you are running into this with Passenger 5+ and your Rails app is a 2.3.x app, you now need to add a config.ru file to your app:

# Require your environment file to bootstrap Rails
require ::File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/config/environment'

# Serve static assets from RAILS_ROOT/public directory
# use Rails::Rack::Static
# Dispatch the request
run ActionController::Dispatcher.new  

More details in the official announcement and github ticket.

I know the OP's question was about Rails 3.1 specifically but wanted to include this here since the output is identical and searches led me to this post.

Sorry to answer to an old question, but it seems relevant (at least for me ;-) ) I had a similar problem and manage to solve it thanks to this post but in a different way. Alternatively, you can setup the /etc/nginx/nginx.conf to use:

passenger_root /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/phusion_passenger/locations.ini;
passenger_ruby /usr/bin/ruby;

And then make sure the locations.ini is current by running:

passenger-config --make-locations-ini

As said, this worked for me, though I'm not an expert, maybe I'm playing with the wrong parameters.
