Error_page problem - 50x.html

Server NGINX
1

I have the following Nginx config:

error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
    root   /my_rails_app/public;
}

I am using mongrel cluster behind Nginx to serve my rails app and
everything works fine, but if I get an application error, I get a
generic error message instead of my 50x.html page. I am assuming this
error would be a 500 error - I get this error in my mongrel app log:

NoMethodError (undefined method `include?’ for nil:NilClass):

I can see the page if I go to it directly using URL=
http://myapp.com/50x.html. I was expecting Nginx to serve the 50x.html
page instead of displaying the generic message: Application error
(Rails)

Any idea what I am doing wrong? Could there be some miscommunication
between mongrel and Nginx?
