Rails, Nginx, Passenger, SSL - File Uploads Not Working - ruby-on-rails

Question

I am not able to get uploads to work with Passenger-Nginx and SSL. Uploads work fine if I disable SSL.
Here is my Nginx site config:
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.mysite.in;
root /home/deploy/mysite/current/public;
passenger_enabled on;
passenger_ruby /home/deploy/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.4/wrappers/ruby;
passenger_user deploy;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name www.mysite.in;
root /home/deploy/mysite/current/public;
passenger_enabled on;
passenger_ruby /home/deploy/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.4/wrappers/ruby;
passenger_user deploy;
ssl on;
ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/www_mysite_in.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/myserver.key;
ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
#Disables all weak ciphers
ssl_ciphers 'AES256+EECDH:AES256+EDH';
# Specifies that server ciphers should be preferred over client (e.g. browser) ciphers when using SSL/TLS.
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:10m;
ssl_stapling on;
ssl_stapling_verify on;
resolver 8.8.4.4 8.8.8.8 valid=300s;
resolver_timeout 10s;
passenger_set_cgi_param HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO https;
}
Any config/environments/production.rb
Mysite::Application.configure do
# Settings specified here will take precedence over those in config/application.rb.
# Code is not reloaded between requests.
config.cache_classes = true
# Eager load code on boot. This eager loads most of Rails and

# Disable Rails's static asset server (Apache or nginx will already do this).

config.assets.version = '1.0'
# Specifies the header that your server uses for sending files.
# config.action_dispatch.x_sendfile_header = "X-Sendfile" # for apache
config.action_dispatch.x_sendfile_header = 'X-Accel-Redirect' # for nginx
# Force all access to the app over SSL, use Strict-Transport-Security, and use secure cookies.
config.force_ssl = true
# Set to :debug to see everything in the log.
config.log_level = :info
# Prepend all log lines with the following tags.
# config.log_tags = [ :subdomain, :uuid ]
# Use a different logger for distributed setups.
# config.logger = ActiveSupport::TaggedLogging.new(SyslogLogger.new)
# Use a different cache store in production.
# config.cache_store = :mem_cache_store
# Enable serving of images, stylesheets, and JavaScripts from an asset server.
# config.action_controller.asset_host = "http://assets.example.com"
# Precompile additional assets.
# application.js, application.css, and all non-JS/CSS in app/assets folder are already added.
# config.assets.precompile += %w( search.js )
# Ignore bad email addresses and do not raise email delivery errors.
# Set this to true and configure the email server for immediate delivery to raise delivery errors.
# config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = false
# Enable locale fallbacks for I18n (makes lookups for any locale fall back to
# the I18n.default_locale when a translation cannot be found).
config.i18n.fallbacks = true
# Send deprecation notices to registered listeners.
config.active_support.deprecation = :notify
# Disable automatic flushing of the log to improve performance.
# config.autoflush_log = false
# Use default logging formatter so that PID and timestamp are not suppressed.
config.log_formatter = ::Logger::Formatter.new
# Do not dump schema after migrations.
config.active_record.dump_schema_after_migration = false
# config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :sendmail
end
I have tried disabling the config.action_dispatch.x_sendfile_header = 'X-Accel-Redirect' and it makes no difference under SSL or non-SSL.

I was never able to get this to work. So I just deleted the VPS image, and created a new one... and it works.
PS - I was using a setup script to install all the packages, so I am at a total loss as to why it didn't work with the original VPS image.
