Nginx is giving me a 403 Forbidden error. It looks like my permissions are wrong. This is what I have going on my local machine:

What is the best way to set permissions?

 server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  name.org;
    root /path/public;

    passenger_enabled on;
    rails_env production;
  }
A: 

Try chmod -R 755 public/ that will make public readable.

No- still 403 error.

Well it will run if I set it like this:directory: drwxr-xr-xfile: -rw-r--r--Any objections? Should some files and directories have different permissions?

Will it work if you add the -R parameter?
