The situation is as follows: I made a migration of a rails app from an Ubuntu server with nginx + passenger to a debian server with apache2 + passenger.

All was fine until we tested some ajax functions loading templates with handlebars.js and other scripts. It was complaining about javascript calls so I installed an nginx virtualhost serving on port 8080. Then made an apache proxy configuration on the apache virtualhost to redirect the trafic to the nginx server listening on port 8080. The original server was working fine with nginx so I though this should work, and it did.

But lately we tested more menus of the app and found that it did not work to upload files, although this is working on the apache2 if I remove the proxy lines from the virtualhost config.

This is the Apache2 virtualhost file:

<VirtualHost 217.13.81.93:443>

This is the nginx virtualhost file:

    location /server-500.html {
      root /var/www/nginx-default;
    }
}
passenger_pre_start http://www.design-union.co.uk;

Both virtualhosts definitions use the user vu2029 to do filesystem things, and also I changed the nginx user to run as vu2029.

If I remove the Apache2 proxy lines and run the app on apache2 + passenger, it does upload the files correctly, but fails on other javascript parts. If I add the proxy lines and run the app on nginx, it renders all fine the javascripts but fails to upload files.

I'm getting crazy. See also some of the logs from the rails production.log:

The files are uploaded into the server's /tmp/ folder, but then it is not moved to the application system/files/ folder. I though it could be permissions, and for testing I chmod the full project files and dirs 777 with no luck. Both nginx and the apache process are running from the user vu2029.

This is the log of the standalone Passenger running on port 3000 serving the same app:

The files get uploaded to /tmp folder, but looks like it is not moved to the app files folder. When running the app in Apache2 it all works well. I'm stuck. Any help?

Edit:

/var/log/nginx/error.log:

App 26490 stdout: Command :: identify -format %wx%h '/tmp/walle_back20170511-26490-1ka42xa.png[0]'

App 26490 stdout: Command :: identify -format %wx%h '/tmp/walle_back20170511-26490-1ka42xa.png[0]'

I'm checking by command line and the "identify command is installed on the server, all the imagemagick package is installed. Permissions to access the file, or the identify file is not accesible by the paperclip module?

Solved: at the end, it was a path configuration of the Paperclip gem. I added the following to the config/environments/production.rb file:

Paperclip.options[:command_path] = "/usr/bin"
