NGINX + Passenger Deployment of Redmine — 403 forbidden

nginxphusion-passengerredmine

Seen this question asked a few times, tried out several posted solutions without any luck.

installed phusion passenger w/ nginx, running ruby 1.9.3 under a multi-user rvm install

somewhat familiar with nginx and deployment of python apps through uwsgi — this one has me stumped

My nginx vhost config is pasted below:

server {
    listen 80;

    server_name EXAMPLE.COM;

    access_log /home/redmine/logs/nginx_access.log;
    error_log /home/redmine/logs/nginx_error.log;
    client_max_body_size 10m;
    keepalive_timeout 120;

    root /home/redmine/redmine-repo/public;
    passenger_enabled on;

}

for reference static files are being served correctly

for example when I try to visit:
http://EXAMPLE.COM/images/duplicate.png

it shows up just fine — I've set the entire /home/redmine directory to
chmod -R 0777 /home/redmine

thinking I'm missing something on the config side — any ideas what I'm missing?

Best Answer

If all the folder and file permission are set correctly, please check the configuration under nginx.conf:

location ~ ^/redmine(/.*|$) {
   passenger_base_uri /redmine;
   passenger_app_root /Users/cc/Dropbox/Work/www/redmine;
   passenger_enabled on;
}

You should have at least these three lines to enable redmine to work.
