I followed the advice I found here on stackOverflow, and added the following to the section of my layouts/application.html.erb:
<%= favicon_link_tag '/favicon.ico' %>
favicon.ico is in my public folder I also tried to place it in the assets/images folder
I restarted the rails server (local development environment on the MAC, Rails 3.2.xxx), but I’m not seeing the favicon. Any ideas?
Three things to check:
Does the
favicon_link_tagproperly render in the HTML source of your document?Does the
favicon.icoURL that it renders point to a valid file, is the path wrong or do you maybe have a permissions issue with that?Did you refresh your browser’s cache? In most browsers, do so by holding Ctrl or Shift while reloading the website. See also: Wikipedia: Bypass your cache
