Application not accesible

I have installed nginx + passenger on my VPS with Centos 5.4. I have installed my application and my nginx config is as follows.

http {     passenger_root /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-3.0.8;     passenger_ruby /usr/local/bin/ruby;

    include mime.types;     default_type application/octet-stream;     sendfile on;     keepalive_timeout 65;     server {   listen 80;         server_name 115.112.187.132;         root /root/projectfedena-projectfedena_v2.0-a213125/public;         passenger_enabled on;

        location / {             root html;             index index.html index.htm;         }

  error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;         location = /50x.html {             root html;         } }

But when I access the ip address (haven't assigned an URL as yet) I only see the apache2 test page instead of the application landing page. My log file shows the following entries

[Wed Aug 24 12:27:52 2011] [error] [client 122.164.136.38] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/html/ [Wed Aug 24 13:03:28 2011] [error] [client 122.164.136.38] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/html/ [Wed Aug 24 14:40:30 2011] [error] [client 122.164.136.38] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/html/

I am not sure why Nginx is still accessing /var/www/html when I have mentioned the root directory.

Wonder what could be wrong. Any help would be appreciated

Are your requests definitely getting through to nginx rather than apache ?

Is there a sure shot way of finding out. A ps -A returned the following :slight_smile: 6975 ? 00:00:00 httpd 6977 ? 00:00:00 httpd 6978 ? 00:00:00 httpd 6979 ? 00:00:00 httpd 6980 ? 00:00:00 httpd 6981 ? 00:00:00 httpd 6982 ? 00:00:00 httpd 6983 ? 00:00:00 httpd 6984 ? 00:00:00 httpd

I guess these are nginx processes because apache processes usually run as "apache2" and not as "httpd". I am attaching a screenshot of the page displayed when I visit the url. Thanks in advance for helping out.

Apache processes usually run as httpd and not apache2. The executable that gets started when one starts Apache can be found here:

<PARENT_DIRECTORY>/apache2/bin/httpd

Oh, I come from an Ubuntu background. Let me check the etc/rc5.d directory.

I stopped httpd and started nginx. Now I see the page

Welcome to nginx!

But not the application home page. Not sure what is wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for helping.
