Deploy multiple Rails applications on a single EC2 server - ruby-on-rails

I have two rails applications on a single EC2 machine at different locations. I would like to have app1.domain1.com to point to one of them while app1.domain1.com to point to another.
I have two records in Route53 to point app1.domain1.com and app2.domain1.com to same IP address and had nginx config route
server {
listen 80;
server_name app1.domain1.com;
root <path_to_app1>;
passenger_enabled on;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name app2.domain1.com;
root <path_to_app2>;
passenger_enabled on;
}
how ever it appears that even when i try app2.domain1.com it is taking me to app1.

ssl certificate or nginx proxy server not working

I have created a domain(domain.com) and subdomain (abc.domain.com), and also generated SSL certificates for both by using letsencrypt. Both the Django projects are hosted on AWS EC2 and created proxy server for them which is as follow:
server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name example.com;
location / {
proxy_pass https://1.2.3.4:444;
proxy_ssl_server_name on;
proxy_ssl_verify on;
proxy_ssl_certificate /home/domain/fullchain.pem;
proxy_ssl_certificate_key /home/domain/privkey.pem;
}
}
server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name abc.example.com;
location / {
proxy_pass https://1.2.3.4:445;
proxy_ssl_server_name on;
proxy_ssl_verify on;
proxy_ssl_certificate /home/subdomain/fullchain.pem;
proxy_ssl_certificate_key /home/subdomain/privkey.pem;
}
}
I strats the proxy server and both the projects, starting not giving any problem the problem is that when i enter https://example.com on the browser it is not showing the page, but when i pull domain with port no. https://example.com:444, it starts showing the page. I do not know what I am missing.
In order to make https://example.com work you need to correctly configure Nginx with SSL configuration which include using ssl_certificate and ssl_certificate_key directives as it does not seem that you are using them.
Using proxy_ssl_certificate is for using HTTPS connection between Nginx and the Proxied Server which in your case the django application.
Using ssl_certificate is for using HTTPS connection between the user's browser and Nginx which you need to make https://example.com works as expected
For more details check configuring HTTPS servers

cannot assess rails app on amazon ec2

I'm using Amazon EC2 and tried to deploy a rails project.
I have install nginx/passenger and successfully made nginx server run.
I started my rails project with name "forfun"
then I set the root of nginx to /home/ubuntu/rails/forfun/public
I initialized a file named "index.html", then I could see the page in browser
(http://[my ip]:80)
However, what i really wanna see is the welcome page of rails app.
I tried do remove index.html and see what i got. I saw 404 Forbidden error.
/var/log/nginx/error.log reveals that directory index of "/home/ubuntu/rails/forfun/public/" is forbidden
What step i actually missed?
by the way, do i need to do "rails server" while nginx is running?
ps:
(1) /opt/nginx/conf/nginx.conf
http {
passenger_root /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.3.0/gems/passenger-5.0.26;
passenger_ruby /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.3.0/wrappers/ruby;
...
server {
listen 80;
server_name 52.196.XX.XXX;#my amazon public ip
root /home/ubuntu/rails/forfuni/public;
}
(2)/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
root /home/ubuntu/rails/forfun/public;
index index.html index.htm;
}
Try adding /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
server {
listen 80 default_server;
server_name 52.196.XX.XXX;#my amazon public ip;
passenger_enabled on;
passenger_app_env development; #or whatever rails env you want.
The whole process of deploying a rails app using nginx/passenger is documented here. See the nginx section.

Running multiple rails app using passenger

I am hosting a Rails app using passenger and nginx.
I have an nginx.conf with a working server block for the first app that looks somewhat like this.
server {
listen 80;
server_name app1.example.com www.app1.example.com;
passenger_enabled on;
root /home/ec2-user/app1/public;
}
However, I want to deploy a second rails app and on the same nignx.conf wrote:
server {
listen 80;
server_name app2.example.com www.app2.example.com;
passenger_enabled on;
root /home/ec2-user/app2/public;
}
I think there is a conflict with the the ports but I am having trouble finding answers to solving this.

How to add a second app to Phusion Passenger?

I have my Phusion Passenger Nginx configured to as below :
server {
listen 80;
server_name blog.abc.com;
passenger_enabled on;
root /app/public;
}
Im about to host the main site abc.com also in this machine. How can I do that (Its a separate app)? Is it possible to add another server block like this :
server {
listen 80;
server_name abc.com;
passenger_enabled on;
root /app2/public;
}
Phusion Passenger author here. Yes. Just add another virtual host block for the other app. It works exactly as expected.
I configured my second app on sub-uri of first app. Below is the nginx conf and settings what i done.
nginx.conf:
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
location / {
root /var/www/demo/public;
passenger_enabled on;
rails_env production;
}
location /test {
root /var/www/demo;
passenger_base_uri /test;
passenger_enabled on;
}
Then add symbolic link:
ln -s /var/www/logger/public /var/www/demo/test

Nginx for multiple apps with different subdomain

Been trying to search for a time but can't seem to find a solution. I want to set multiple apps in one server via nginx. Current nginx.conf is as follows:
server {
listen 80;
server_name mydomain.co;
root /mydomain/current/public;
passenger_enabled on;
rails_env production;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name testing.mydomain.co;
root /mydomain-test/current/public;
passenger_enabled on;
rails_env test;
}
It serves up the correct environment (test) but doesn't serve the correct codebase. I checked the directory mydomain-test via ssh and it contains the recent code but is not being served by nginx.
Basically, what I want is:
mydomain.co to serve /mydomain/current/public
testing.mydomain.co to serve /mydomain/current/public
How is this done correctly?
I believe the root directive should be in the location section. I am unsure of the rails directive and passenger_enabled directive but the rest is similar to what I use and works. Might be best to also specify the index script (i have it set to index.php but change as appropriate).
Once you have made the changes be sure to restart nginx.
server {
listen 80;
server_name mydomain.co;
location / {
root /mydomain/current/public;
index index.php;
}
passenger_enabled on;
rails_env production;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name testing.mydomain.co;
location / {
root /mydomain-test/current/public;
index index.php;
}
passenger_enabled on;
rails_env test;
}
