how to start rails app on nginx on port 80

I can't start my site on port 80, but only on 3000. Nginx shows standard index page. Nginx config:

http {
  passenger_root /home/my_user_name/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p125/gems/passenger-3.0.11;
  passenger_ruby /home/my_user_name/.rvm/wrappers/ruby-1.9.3-p125/ruby;

  include       mime.types;
  default_type  application/octet-stream;

  keepalive_timeout 65;

  server {
    listen 80;
    server_name www.my_site_name.com
    root /home/my_user_name/my_site_name/public;   # <--- be sure to point to 'public'!
    passenger_enabled on;
  }

}

commands: 

passenger start -e production  # successfully started on port 3000

rvmsudo passenger start -e production -p 80 # error, see below

Error:

*** ERROR ***
The address 0.0.0.0:80 is already in use by another process, perhaps another
Phusion Passenger Standalone instance.

If you want to run this Phusion Passenger Standalone instance on another port,
use the -p option, like this:

  passenger start -p 81

Thanks for any help!

Ok, your initial config is right...so run this command to start rails app:

rvmsudo passenger start -e production -p 80 --user="TYPE HERE USERNAME FROM SSH"

I think you need to specify a location for your server on port 80, something like this:

http {
  # ...

  server {
    listen 80;
    server_name www.my_site_name.com

    location / {
      root /home/my_user_name/my_site_name/public;
      passenger_enabled on;
    }
  }
}

As jdl points out, you also don't need to run Passenger Standalone. You don't need either of those commands. Nginx will serve it for you.

Nginx is what is listening on port 80. Passenger Standalone is for use without a web server. In the case of running Nginx as well, you don't start Passenger separately.
