Question

I am running a rails server in the production environment, and I precompiled my assets, but for some reason the requests are going to the /assets directory instead of /public.

I have the default production.rb file. What could be causing this?

# config/environments/production.rb

config.cache_classes = true
config.consider_all_requests_local       = false
config.action_controller.perform_caching = true
config.serve_static_assets = false
config.assets.compress = true
config.assets.compile = false
config.assets.digest = true
config.force_ssl = true
config.i18n.fallbacks = true
config.active_support.deprecation = :notify

Answer 1

You can also change:

config.serve_static_assets = true

and then your assets will be served from /public/assets without having to use Apache or Nginx.

For development, just delete the /public/assets directory and then they will be automatically compiled and served from /assets.
