I'm upgrading to a new linode with Debian. I installed rvm, ruby enterprise edition, passenger, nginx (via passenger), rails 2.3 lts. My app works with script/server. I got nginx to serve static files. But nginx acts like passenger doesn't exist when I go to a rails route. I made a fresh test app, and a simplified nginx.conf, with the same result. I see no errors from passenger in the log.
The basic problem is nginx looks for a static file instead of spawning rails:
2016/01/01 17:18:00 [error] 4820#0: *10 open() "/home/curi/www/testapp/public/test/foo" failed (2: No such file or directory), client: 73.241.61.62, server: , request: "GET /test/foo HTTP/1.1", host: "45.79.64.233"
I read the 3 solutions at https://www.phusionpassenger.com/library/admin/nginx/troubleshooting/ruby/ and googled a lot, but I'm still stuck. Details:
sample nginx error log with passenger log level 3:

passenger log level 7, did a restart and tried to load a sample app page:
nginx.conf:
worker_processes 1; # nginx workers
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
passenger_root /home/curi/.rvm/gems/ree-1.8.7-2012.02/gems/passenger-5.0.23;
passenger_ruby /home/curi/.rvm/gems/ree-1.8.7-2012.02/wrappers/ruby;
# passenger_ruby /home/curi/.rvm/rubies/ree-1.8.7-2012.02/bin/ruby; # i tried both
passenger_log_level 7; # 3 default, 7 max
rewrite_log on;
error_log logs/error.log notice;
server {
listen 80 default_server;
root /home/curi/www/testapp/public; # <--- be sure to point to 'public'!
passenger_enabled on;
rails_env production;
}
}
I did try it with server_name set, too. And I tried it with my more complex, working conf from my old server (just passenger_root and passenger_ruby changed). Same results.
