The Nginx app is running as nobody

ps waux | grep nginx

When i look at logs, i find an alert that says PassengerAgent not found another error that the directory is forbidden. I am not sure if the alert is related.

This probably means that your Phusion Passenger installation is broken or incomplete, or that your 'passenger_root' setting contains the wrong value. Please reinstall Phusion Passenger or adjust the setting (see: http://ift.tt/1Ncx026). (-1: Unknown error)
