upstream cenit {
    # Path to Unicorn SOCK file
    server unix:/home/ubuntu/deploy/shared/sockets/unicorn.cenit.sock fail_timeout=0;
}

server {
    # Application root, as defined previously
    root /home/ubuntu/deploy/cenit/public;

    listen  80;
    server_name localhost;

    try_files $uri/index.html $uri @cenit;

    access_log /var/log/nginx/cenit_access.log combined;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/cenit_error.log;

    location @cenit {
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_redirect off;
        proxy_pass http://cenit;
    }

    error_page 500 502 503 504 /500.html;
    client_max_body_size 4G;
    keepalive_timeout 10;
}

the project has in Gemfile

gem 'unicorn'  

and Unicorn Config is defined like

# Set your full path to application.
app_dir = File.expand_path('../../', __FILE__)

  old_pid = "#{server.config[:pid]}.oldbin"
  if File.exists?(old_pid) && server.pid != old_pid
    begin

      Process.kill(sig, File.read(old_pid).to_i)
    rescue Errno::ENOENT, Errno::ESRCH
      # someone else did our job for us
    end
  end
end
 
after_fork do |server, worker|
  defined?(Rails) and Rails.cache.respond_to?(:reconnect) and Rails.cache.reconnect
end
 
before_exec do |server|
  ENV['BUNDLE_GEMFILE'] = "#{app_dir}/Gemfile"
end
