Problem with assets and path

rubyonrails-talk
1

My page doesn't load css and images in production mode. For css I get a path like "/appname/assets/...". What's wrong? Should be without appname.

I tried the config.assets.paths but no luck.

My app runs on fcgi (if that could mean anything) on the production server. Locally I use passenger and have no problem.

One more thing. The host has a www directory. When using rails the app is in another directory with a .htaccess and a RewriteRule in www pointing to the rails app and dispatch.fcgi. Could it be a problem with that?

3

Additional question.

Should I run "RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile" on the server? Must I do that each time I add a new asset, e g image or new css file?

I find that I do have to do this after every change at the server. I don't need to include the environment, it seems to be a default somehow. rake assets:precompile is enough (I do run rvm on the server, so the bundle exec part is inferred as well).

Thank you. Good to know.

Do you know how to solve wrong path for assets? Can I assign where root is in my environment?

I don't, and I hope someone else can, for both our sakes!

there is a rails_root helper. but it is depreciated. check out this ruby on rails - RAILS_ROOT not longer valid when loading images with the prawnto_2 gem - Stack Overflow

Not sure the solution is in here but https://www.altamiracorp.com/blog/employee-posts/rails-3

Didn't work for me. I really need a solution to the path problem :slight_smile:
