I'm using NGINX with Passenger to run a rails application on an Ubuntu server.
However, I'd like to have the rails app served from www.mydomain.com/store , and have
a wordpress install served from www.mydomain.com.
How would one go about setting up the nginx.conf?
From the official manual:
To do this, make a symlink from your Ruby on Rails application’s public folder to a directory in the document root. For example:
ln -s /webapps/mycook/public /websites/phusion/rails
Next, set passenger_enabled on and add a passenger_base_uri option to the server block:
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.phusion.nl;
root /websites/phusion;
passenger_enabled on; # <--- These lines have
passenger_base_uri /rails; # <--- been added.
}

Phusion Passenger + NGINX in production environment
I have done everything as usual with my ROR-application, but passenger not working with it. Have no idea whats wrong...
sudo passenger-config restart-app
Phusion Passenger is currently not serving any applications.
/etc/nginx/sites-available/myapp
server {
listen 80;
server_name _;
# Tell Nginx and Passenger where your app's 'public' directory is
root /var/www/myapp/public;
passenger_app_root /var/www/myapp;
rails_env production;
passenger_enabled on;
passenger_ruby /home/myuserapp/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.3.1/wrappers/ruby;
}
In sites-enabled have a soft symlink myapp to /etc/nginx/sites-available/myapp
sudo passenger-status

I ran sudo nginx -t command
nginx: [warn] conflicting server name "_" on 0.0.0.0:80, ignored
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful
First warning cofused me, so i decide the problem is in conflict myapp-site and defult one.
So i just turn of default site and restart nginx. And everything worked!
sudo rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
sudo service nginx restart
Final config file:
/etc/nginx/sites-available/myapp
server {
listen 80;
server_name myapp.com;
# Tell Nginx and Passenger where your app's 'public' directory is
root /var/www/myapp/current/public;
rails_env production;
# Turn on Passenger
passenger_enabled on;
passenger_ruby /home/myuserapp/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.3.1/wrappers/ruby;
}
P.S. Correct me if you understand the subject deeper.
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.

So, I have a domain: coolapp.com Now I want to make it so I can have two subdomains, such as game.coolapp.com and sports.coolapp.com. I have two server configurations in the nginx config as follows:
server {
listen 80;
server_name sports.coolapp.com;
location / {
root /home/deployer/Sports/current/public;
index index.php;
}
passenger_enabled on;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name game.coolapp.com;
location / {
root /home/deployer/Game/current/public;
index index.php;
}
passenger_enabled on;
}
For some reason, both of these domains are redirecting to the 'sports' app. They SHOULD each by redirecting to their own application, but are interfering with each other.
I am running the Sports app via passenger, with something like 'passenger start --port 80', and I'm running the second app with 'passenger start --port 81'. Should I be running these with different arguments, or what exactly is causing the issue here?
Your problem is not quite clear to me. I am making the following assumptions in my answer.
You are running 3 apps all on Phusion with Nginx.
Nginx configuration is pretty straight forward. Probably you have configured nginx.conf properly because you main app is working.
The next thing you should do is read the phusion passenger doc on how to run Rails on subdomain. Reading https://www.phusionpassenger.com/documentation/Users%20guide%20Nginx.html#deploying_a_rack_app will give you a lot of insight. I recommend you read the entire doc.
I think there is a problem in the way you have configured your nginx.conf and how you are starting you phusion passenger (BTW I think you do not even have to start the phusion passenger explicitly and that NGINX should take care of that)
In your nginx configuration you are listening to port 80 and in your phusion passenger command you are asking it to listen to port 81 and 82. Change you nginx configuration to read like (BTW it is better to use sites-available & site-enabled for this)
server {
listen 80;
server_name sports.coolapp.com;
root /home/deployer/Sports/current/public;
passenger_enabled on;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name games.coolapp.com;
root /home/deployer/Sports/current/public;
passenger_enabled on;
}
I hope you have configured your subdomains properly. You should double check that as well.
Save changes. Restart Nginx and you should be good to go.
I have followed this tutorial https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-rails-and-nginx-with-passenger-on-ubuntu
I have installed passenger with nginx on my virtual machine and trying to access the site.
In the root I have specified path as root /var/rails_apps/public/; which give me Welcome to Nginx page,
server{
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
root /var/rails_apps/public/;
passenger_enabled on;
}
As my root page of my site is in the /var/rails_apps/app/views/home/index.html.erb
so I changed the path to root /var/rails_apps/app/views/home/;
server{
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
root /var/rails_apps/app/views/home/;
passenger_enabled on;
}
but still for both root I am getting Welcome to Nginx page.
My request URL is like this -> /#{IpAddressOfVirtualMachine}:80/
When I specified different port for listening eg 1027 then it gives me error Unable to connect
Please explain how I can get my site running using nginx and passenger, is there any other setting required?
I am able run my site just did following changes.
Install nginx init script
nginx init script by Jason Giedymin helps us to administer web server easily.
$ cd
$ git clone git://github.com/jnstq/rails-nginx-passenger-ubuntu.git
$ sudo mv rails-nginx-passenger-ubuntu/nginx/nginx /etc/init.d/nginx
$ sudo chown root:root /etc/init.d/nginx
After that rails g controller pages home
And point root to public folder root /var/rails_apps/helloworld/public;
then access my virtual machine through http #{IpAddressOfVirtualMachine}:1027/pages/home
port 80 was busy so I used different which is port 1027
And it works !!!
you can refer this blog for more information
http://ershadk.com/blog/2012/04/05/set-up-rails-3-2-2-with-passenger-rvm-and-ngnix/
Change the root back to public folder, and open the URL without the port number
You need to change the server name in the nginx config to the same IP you are connecting to, and yes keep the root in the public folder, that's how rails work.
server_name 123.456.789.000; # replace with your IP
Instead of localhost, then restart nginx.
I have nginx with rewriting working correctly on my server in production.
But when I tried to set the same rule on my local development machine (mac) the rewrite doesn't seem to be working.
I want "universitytutor.local" to redirect to "www.universitytutor.local"
Here is the relevant part of my nginx.conf
server{
listen 80;
server_name universitytutor.local;
rewrite ^/(.*) http://www.universitytutor.local/$1 permanent;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.universitytutor.local *.universitytutor.local;
root /Users/barmstrong/NetBeansProjects/universitytutor/public; # <--- be sure to point to 'public'!
passenger_enabled on;
rails_env development;
}
The page loads correctly whether I type "universitytutor.local" or "www.universitytutor.local" and it does not redirect.
I have the *.universitytutor.local in there because I use subdomains for different cities so I need this, but I want a blank subdomain to redirect to "www".
Any ideas?
Found the solution for this. I was not restarting Nginx correctly so it was not picking up the changes. Doh!
You can restart like this
sudo kill `cat /opt/nginx/logs/nginx.pid `
sudo /opt/nginx/sbin/nginx
or add this to your .bashrc for easier use
alias nginx_restart='nginx_stop; nginx_start'
alias nginx_start='sudo /opt/nginx/sbin/nginx'
alias nginx_stop='sudo kill `cat /opt/nginx/logs/nginx.pid `'
