404 Nginx error - Ubuntu 14.04 Rails

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!
