Question

I recently updated my app from 2.3.8 to 3.0.rc, but after a while in development environment I tried the production environment. But now it won’t serve static files.

I use standard development and production environment settings, and have no unique gems for either environments. Everything works like a charm in development, but it won’t serve static files in production.

Using ruby-1.8.7-p299 and every gem is up to date. Using WEBrick on my server, running rails s -e production -p 3001

Anyone with some solutions or tips to this ?

Answer 1

After some extra digging I found a setting in the production.rb file, config.serve_static_assets which was set to false, and since I’m not running apache or nginx the static files where not served. blush
