Nginx & Passenger not showing my Ruby on Rails app Landing page -

i'm trying deploy ruby on rails app passenger , nginx server on digitalcloud droplet.

i have installed nginx , passenger on ubuntu environment. cloned rails app on /var/www/my_app think nginx config file not set. don't know problem, because in several tutorials have same configuration , telling good.

so see this:
you can see standard rails error page my_app/public folder.

i can't figure out why in these tutorials make root folder /public, because there located error pages , favicon. display index page static page controller defined in app routes file root url.

here /opt/nginx/conf/nginx.conf file:

#user  nobody; worker_processes  1;  events {     worker_connections  1024; }  http {     passenger_root /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.5/gems/passenger-5.0.7;     passenger_ruby /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.5/wrappers/ruby;      include       mime.types;     default_type  application/octet-stream;      sendfile        on;     keepalive_timeout  65;      server {         listen       80;         server_name  my_app;         passenger_enabled on;         root /var/www/my_app/public;          # redirect server error pages static page /50x.html         #         error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;         location = /50x.html {             root   html;         }     } } 

i need display index page called home.html.erb in /var/www/my_app/views/static_pages through controller called static_pages. logical somehow provide nginx info in rails routes file because there needs know, haven't seen that. maybe tell solution? tutorials direct public folder, doesn't work.

thanks anyways.

i found solution. needed install database because can't run without one. strange, because thought need 1 if app need storing something. fault :d

this tutorial had all! http://alexbachuk.com/launch-rails-4-application-with-passenger-and-nginx/ hope can others too.

anyway, solution found.
