Hey guys,
I am following this tutorial with my own rails project: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-deploy-a-rails-app-with-passenger-and-nginx-on-ubuntu-14-04
And I keep arriving at a 404 Nginx not found error. Printing out the log I recieved this error: 2014/11/16 14:08:13 [error] 20149#0: *29 “/home/rails/whattodo/public/index.html” is not found (2: No such file or directory), client: 70.52.174.228, server: , request: “GET / HTTP/1.1”, host: “104.131.76.121” 2014/11/16 14:08:14 [error] 20149#0: *29 open() “/home/rails/whattodo/public/favicon.ico” failed (2: No such file or directory), client: 70.52.174.228, server: , request: “GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1”, host: “104.131.76.121”.
Here is my nginx file: server { listen 80 default_server; passenger_enabled on; passenger_app_env development; root /home/rails/whattodo/public; }
I added this file, even though I didn’t think it would be necessary, and still the error remains. Any help or directions you think I should be heading to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated!

The best solution I could find to this after searching a lot was to re-install and configure nginx with phusion passenger
sudo apt-get purge nginx nginx-common nginx-full
sudo apt-get install nginx
sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
# uncomment 'passenger_root' & 'passenger_ruby' paths accordingly
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
# replace with:
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
server_name mydomain.com;
passenger_enabled on;
rails_env production;
root /home/deploy/myapp/current/public;
# redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
root html;
}
}
sudo service nginx restart
