Any way to run byebug under passenger + nginx?

I developed a simple rails app which works in development environment under WEBrick. However, when I move to production environment it doesn't work. I fixed trivial errors relating to assets and things. However, some things just don't work. It would be extremely helpful to be able to see what is going on interactively with debugger.

I can insert byebug in the code, and it pauses code from running, but since neither passenger nor nginx logs to STDOUT (by default) I can't get to the byebug prompt. (and neither read STDIN)

Is there a way to run byebug under passenger + nginx?

Edit

This time my issue was related to https.
