Question

I’ve got a Rails app that must send an POST .js request, but Nginx raise a 404 error on a POST request to something.js

I found out it came from my config file

  location ~* ^.+.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico)$ {
    access_log        off;
    expires max;
  }

I tried to modify it this way (look at the location )

 location ~* \.(jpeg|jpg|gif|css|png|js|ico)$ {
    access_log        off;
    expires max;
  }

And according to Nginx raises 404 when using format => 'js', i also tried this :

  location ~* \.(jpeg|jpg|gif|css|png|js|ico)$ {
    access_log        off;
    expires max;
    break;
  }

But none of the previous configuration worked out.

Thank you per advance

Answer 1

This nginx config should only apply to static JS (and CSS files), not to your Rails actions.

In this case you try to post to a static file, which obviously does not exist.

All your assets (including CSS and JS files) will be in public/assets.

I successfully use this configuration:

location ~ ^/(assets)/ {
  expires max;
  break;
}
