Permission denied on .bash_profile when start passenger

I try to start passenger standalone(4.0.20) and I get the error /root/.bash_profile: Permission denied. I changed the permissions of .bash_profile, but didn't solve the problem. It's a Ruby on Rails application, I am using Nginx, ruby 2.0.0p247, rails 3.2.14.

Content of .bash_profile

# .bash_profile
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
   . ~/.bashrc
fi
# User specific environment and startup programs
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
export PATH

I had this problem under Red Hat with SELinux installed. I found that temporarily disabling SELinux fixed the problem.

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Security-Enhanced_Linux/sect-Security-Enhanced_Linux-Enabling_and_Disabling_SELinux-Disabling_SELinux.html

If that fixes your problem, then you should dig deeper to find out how to tweak SELinux to allow passemger to run. Do not leave SELinux disabled!
