Forbidden message when serving a sinatra local site using nginx passenger

I've followed the instructions for installing phusion passenger with nginx in ubuntu. I had some issues while installing since I use rvm and I had to install as root and the installer was failing to find rake so i temporarily chmoded /opt to be owned by my user and after installation I resetted ownership to root. I can see nginx welcome page but when I try to visit a sinatra app I get forbidden, the virtual host is pointed to the sinatra app public dir and the permissions for the whole app are 777.

Well my mistake was not using rvmsudo to install nginx with passenger, instructions here: http://rvm.io/integration/passenger/.

Because this is the page that Google brought me to for my issue, which isn't a Passenger issue, but a Nginx reverse-proxy issue, you need to add the line

disable :protection

somewhere in your sinatra app. I have mine at the very end, outside any method (in global scope).

Try Passenger 3. It automatically detects most permission problems and tells you how to fix them.

If this is for a production system, you really don't need the flexibility of RVM as you should be using a single stable version of Ruby and Rails for Phusion. Install the version you need, using Aptitude if that version is available, and be done with it.
