Error: Could not start Passenger Nginx core

I am developing a website on RoR. Whenever I run passenger start -a 0.0.0.0 -p 3000 -d -e production command on terminal, found an error

* ERROR *
Could not start Passenger Nginx core:
nginx: [alert] could not open error log file: open()
"/tmp/passenger-standalone.1rnha9m/logs/error.log" failed (2: No such file or
directory)
2013/09/16 07:52:21 [emerg] 12190#0: getgrnam("nogroup") failed
Stopping web server... done

Please any one could guide me ?

Thanks

Actually, the could not open log file is a red herring, which has been fixed last week. The real problem is this line here:

07:52:21 [emerg] 12190#0: getgrnam("nogroup")

It means that you're starting Passenger Standalone as a user whose group is nogroup (you're probably using the nobody user), but the nogroup group does not exist in the group database. Your group database is probably broken. Please fix this first.
