Hmm.. I cannot make nginx change the root directory in default.conf it's not working

Really doesn't anyone know why i can't change the website root directory in default.conf using Centos?!

'root' can be set just about anywhere, just use it.

root /bla/path/somewhere
.....
root /bla/path/somewhereelse
.....

Ok. Thanks. I've tried that for like 20h. I tried changing to root /var/www/musibox.se

In the end nginx could not serve any php files when I did. The only way it works is by using root /usr/shares/nginx/html

weird?

No its not weird, php like RoR are independent systems from nginx, so when you tell nginx to change root you need to tell php as well where root has gone to, or define a rootbase, add it to the passing parameters from nginx.

nginx, root: /bla/bla2/bla3
php, root /bla/bla2/bla3

nginx, change root: /bla/bla2/bla4
php, root /bla/bla2/bla3 (huh?)

wire your account no. sir!

I can't change the root path of my nginx.conf file.

I have installed nginx on mac os with passenger using home-brew. But its impossible to change the root path of my rails app. Nginx keeps saying:

nginx: [emerg] invalid number of arguments in "root" directive in /opt/nginx/conf/nginx.conf:46

the nginx.conf file is:

#user nobody;

worker_processes 1;

#error_log logs/error.log;

#error_log logs/error.log notice;

#error_log logs/error.log info;

#pid logs/nginx.pid;

events {

worker_connections 1024;

}

http {

passenger_root /Users/gabrielmadeira/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.0@global/gems/passenger-4.0.42;

passenger_ruby /Users/gabrielmadeira/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.0@filx/wrappers/ruby;

include mime.types;

default_type application/octet-stream;

#log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '

# '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '

#access_log logs/host.access.log main;

location / {

index index.html index.htm;

passenger_enabled on;

rails_env development;

}

#error_page 404 /404.html;

# redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html

#

error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;

location = /50x.html {

root html;

}

# proxy the PHP scripts to Apache listening on 127.0.0.1:80

#

# location ~ .php$ {

# proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1;

#}

# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000

#

}

}

Can anyone help please ?

Use quotes around a path which contains spaces.
