Issue nginx passenger config error

UnS3eN

Basic Pleskian
Hi guys,

Wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.

I'm getting the following error on my Plesk panel ever since Obsidian upgrade (CentOS 6.10):
Code: 
Error: New configuration files for the Apache web server were not created due to the errors in configuration templates: nginx: [emerg] unknown directive "passenger_root" in /etc/nginx/conf.d/phusion-passenger.conf:1 nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed.

The file /etc/nginx/conf.d/phusion-passenger.conf is pointing to doesn't exist:
Code: 
#cat /etc/nginx/conf.d/phusion-passenger.conf
passenger_root /usr/share/passenger/phusion_passenger/locations.ini;

Code: 
# la /usr/share/passenger

Guessing something didn't go entirely right during the update. I'd like to fix this instead of sweeping it under the rug by removing the .conf file. Just not sure how. I can't find what the .ini contents should be.

Just in case:

I'd suggest you try to reinstall passenger package.

I'll try to just create the .ini and see what happens. Guessing there's more than just that .ini missing.
 
Reinstalled passenger from Plesk repo, the .ini file is now there.

Issue somewhat resolved. Uninstalled nginx, passenger server, node.js, and ruby via Add/Remove Components.
nginx config now testing properly:
Code: 
# nginx -t
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful

However, when realoading nginx config in Webserver Configurations Troubleshooter, I'm still getting the error.

Is there any way to clean that up?
