The root directive shouldn’t point to a specific file. Instead, it should point to the application’s public/ directory. Here is a minimal working example:

 server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;
    root /home/deployer/app-name/public;
    passenger_enabled on;

    access_log  /var/log/nginx/access.log  main;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;

    error_page 404 /404.html;
    error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
    location = /50x.html {
        root /usr/share/nginx/html;
    }
}

Note that I also removed the location ~ \.php$ section. This is not needed for a Rails application, only PHP one.

For more information, check out this tutorial that walks through setting up Rails and Nginx with Passenger start to finish:
