Nginx not detecting the root location from config for Rails 3.2 app

[SupaIrish]

"root" needs to point to the /public directory of your Rails app.  And I
don't think you need to use passenger_base_uri

My nginx using passenger config looks like:

server {
        listen       80;
        server_name  XXXXXX;
        root         /home/deploy/apps/wtca/current/public;
        passenger_enabled on;
