amazon web services - Unable to start Rails server on EC2 boot nginx+passenger. (Linux CentOs) -

i have set nginx+ passenger on ec2 box (amazon linux)

i need start rails server each time ec2 instance boots ( boot mean, stop , start)

i can start sever going app directory , doing passenger start -e p -p 80

but i'm not able start every time boots.

i tried put in /etc/rc.local looks like:

cd /home/ec2-user/myapp rvmsudo passenger start -e p -p 80   

but doesn't work. tried writing bash script , putting in /etc/init.d/. did chmod +x on it. still doesn't work. if run script manually bash start_script.sh. works fine.

also if put mkdir tempfolder works.

why isn't rails server not starting?

nginx.conf

server {         listen       80;         server_name  localhost;          #charset koi8-r;          #access_log  logs/host.access.log  main;          location / {             root   /home/ec2-user/myapp/public;             passenger_enabled on;         }          #error_page  404              /404.html;          # redirect server error pages static page /50x.html         #         error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;         location = /50x.html {             root   /home/ec2-user/myapp/public;         } } 

afaik when nginx starts, takes care of passenger takes care of rails.

nginx should start on machine startup. if doesn't try running

sudo update-rc.d nginx defaults 

on more general note, not every bash script works under init.d. needs an init script lsb

i believe template create 1 (i've never tried though - on you...): https://gist.github.com/naholyr/4275302
