Yes. unicorn_rails must be run from RAILS_ROOT.

See http://unicorn.bogomips.org/unicorn_rails_1.html

You need a separate unicorn.rb, distinct from your config.ru when
using Unicorn. It appears you are using the proper config option
(worker_processes) but putting it in the wrong file (config.ru).

config.ru defines your app. Unicorn runs your app. The two are
interchangeable, and this is a good thing.

Trying moving your unicorn specific logic into a unicorn.rb and
launching it with `unicorn -c unicorn.rb config.ru`
