passenger config.ru permission denied

Did anyone go through ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE under the combination of rails + nginx + passenger?

nginx error.log says:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Passenger::FileSystemException' 
what(): Cannot stat '/home/ec2-user/my-app/config.ru': Permission denied (errno=13)

so, I tried loosening permissions for config.ru and its containing directory by using 

chmod 777 config.ru 
chmod 777 my-app

but it results in the same error message.

I will appreciate any help.

Solution

  • You need to loosen permissions on all parent directories too.
