Nginx + Passenger não está funcionando - pedidos do cliente são interrompidos até o tempo limite

Question

Estou executando em uma instância do EC2 com o Amazon Linux instalado e o Nginx foi instalado via passenger-install-nginx-module . O processo de instalação completa seguido foi semelhante a this . A principal diferença foi que o ruby foi instalado por meio do RVM, conforme descrito aqui .

ngix.conf:

user  www;
worker_processes  1;

events {
    worker_connections  1024;
}


http {
    passenger_root /var/www/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.2/gems/passenger-5.0.9;
    passenger_ruby /var/www/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.2/wrappers/ruby;

    include       mime.types;
    default_type  application/octet-stream;

    sendfile        on;
    keepalive_timeout  65;

    server {
        listen             80;
        server_name        .example.com;
        passenger_enabled  on;
        root               /var/www/example_com/public;

        error_page  404              /404.html;
        error_page   500 502 503 504  /500.html;
    }
}

E o erro quando o nginx finalmente desiste (registrando com logs de informações ativados, isso é tudo o que está registrado em erros):
