I could be a permissions problem, in that your webserver's root directory is not visible to the public.

Do you have an index file? What's the output of this command? 

grep -ri DocumentRoot /etc/httpd

I installed everything right but when I access my ip (domain) the message
403 forbidden. Anyone know what this is?
nginx appears in the log:

03/10/2013 15:23:44 [error] 5129 # 0: * 1 directory index of "/ var / www / my_app / public /" is forbidden, client: IP, server: domain.com.br, request: "GET / HTTP/1.0", host: "IP"

@Arthur: Do you have an index file in /var/www/my_app/public?
