I am new to Ruby on Rails and am following the Rails Tutorials by Michael Hartl.

According to the book, I had downloaded a set of CSS and placed it in /public/stylesheets/ folder. Also, I had placed a logo.png file in public/images folder. When I request a page from the browser, the logo is not displayed and instead, the Alt text is displayed. Also, I think the CSS is not linked too.

I seemed to have done exactly what the book said. Not sure what the problem is.

Rails 3.2.8, ruby 1.9.3p194 (2012-04-20 revision 35410) [x86_64-linux]

Here is the layout application.html.erb page:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title><%= title %></title>
<%= csrf_meta_tag %>
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="http://html5shiv.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
<![endif]-->

<%= stylesheet_link_tag 'blueprint/screen', :media => 'screen' %>
<%= stylesheet_link_tag 'blueprint/print', :media => 'print' %>

<!--[if lt IE 8]><%= stylesheet_link_tag 'blueprint/ie' %><![endif]-->

<%= stylesheet_link_tag 'custom', :media => 'screen' %>

</head>
<body>


<div class="container">
    <header>
        <%= image_tag("logo.png", :alt=>"Sample App", :class => "round") %>
        <nav class="round">
            <ul>
                <li><%= link_to "Home", '#' %></li>
                <li><%= link_to "Help", '#' %></li>
                <li><%= link_to "Sign in", '#' %></li>
            </ul>

        </nav>
    </header>

    <section class="round">
        <%= yield %>
    </section>


</body>
</html>

    Rails 3.X has stylesheets in app/assets/stylesheets, and images in app/assets/images.

    The other advice is good too… use the latest version of the tutorial and check out rvm.
