Question

I can get the index.html and a test page to come up in the browser from the public folder, but the exact/path in the controller is not coming up. The browser continues to search for the page until I stop it. It works in my test environment and it works in Heroku, but doesn’t not work on my amazon ec2 server. I am using Ubuntu 11.10. Why would this be? Thanks in advance.

Update: It looks like I am getting a 500 Internal Server error and the controller is not seen.

Answer 1

It turns out I needed to prcompile the assets by doing one of the folling

Adding this to my deploy.rb file

after "deploy:restart", "deploy:precompile"

namespace :deploy do

  desc "Compile assets"
  task :precompile, :roles => :app do
    run "cd #{release_path} && rake RAILS_ENV=#{rails_env} assets:precompile"
  end

end

Running this in the current directory

RAILS_ENV=production rake assets:precompile

Or adding this to the capfile

load 'deploy/assets'
