    copied!<p>I'm a newby to rails and love the language and the development environment. However, I've been overly frustrated trying to push a new app to the production environment when not using PostgreSQL and/or Heroku.</p> <p>For work related reasons we are using a rackspace cloud server with MySQL as the database.</p> <p>My frustration has come with setting up passenger and Nginx. I've followed Ryan's Railscasts on <a href="http://railscasts.com/episodes/335-deploying-to-a-vps" rel="nofollow">deploying to vps</a> and <a href="http://excid3.com/blog/setting-up-rails-on-ubuntu-12-10-quantal-quetzal-with-ruby-node-js-nginx-passenger-and-mysql-or-postgres/" rel="nofollow">this</a> tutorial.</p> <p>I can get through installing ruby, mysql, passenger, Nginx, dependencies, and rails on the server. But when I try to start Nginx nothing happens. When I say nothing happens I mean I don't have any indication that it's running. I point my browser to the ip address and I get the standard error "this webpage is not available" error in the browser. I've looked at the error log and it's blank. I haven't deployed my app yet...just trying to see the default screen of Nginx.</p> <p>Any ideas? I'm guessing there is a key step I'm missing in configuring Nginx I just don't know what it is.</p> <p>My Access Log</p> <pre><code>.0.0.1 - - [14/Oct/2012:10:40:03 -0500] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 151 "-" "Wget/1.13.4 (linux-gnu)" 127.0.0.1 - - [14/Oct/2012:10:45:03 -0500] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 151 "-" "Wget/1.13.4 (linux-gnu)" 127.0.0.1 - - [14/Oct/2012:10:50:03 -0500] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 151 "-" "Wget/1.13.4 (linux-gnu)" 127.0.0.1 - - [14/Oct/2012:10:55:03 -0500] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 151 "-" "Wget/1.13.4 (linux-gnu)" 127.0.0.1 - - [14/Oct/2012:11:00:03 -0500] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 151 "-" "Wget/1.13.4 (linux-gnu)" </code></pre> <p>My Nginx.conf file</p> <pre><code>user deployer staff; #user nobody; worker_processes 1; #error_log logs/error.log; #error_log logs/error.log notice; #error_log logs/error.log info; #pid logs/nginx.pid; events { worker_connections 1024; } http { passenger_root /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/passenger-3.0.17; passenger_ruby /usr/local/bin/ruby; include mime.types; default_type application/octet-stream; sendfile on; #tcp_nopush on; #keepalive_timeout 0; keepalive_timeout 65; #gzip on; server { listen 80; server_name localhost; #charset koi8-r; #access_log logs/host.access.log main; location / { root html; index index.html index.htm; } #error_page 404 /404.html; # redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html # error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html; location = /50x.html { root html; } } } </code></pre>
