#forbidden_error

I hosted my rails application on much known Webfaction

So I created a rails app on my subdomain feedbacker

and deployed it .

I noticed my app gave 403 forbidden error from time to time.

I checked nginx error logs inside $HOME/webapps/app_name/nginx/logs/error.log and it showed:

Cannot create Unix socket '/home/user/webapps/app_name/tmp/passenger.1.0.13275/generation-0/spawn-server/socket.13279.22502832': filename is too long.

and figured out that its because of passenger spawn failing.

  To get rid of it,

Edit /home/user/webapps/app_name/bin/start file

Remove the TMP_DIR and PASSENGER_TMPDIR values from PATH value.

i.e

PATH = ...RUBYLIB...  TMPDIR=/home/user/webapps/app_name/tmp PASSENGER_TMPDIR=/home/user/webapps/app_name/tmp  ...GEM_HOME...

to

PATH = ...RUBYLIB... ...GEM_HOME...

completely from PATH value.

save and close the nginx start script file.

Restart nginx again:

app_name# ./nginx/restart

Hope that helps.
