Rails 3.2.13 - Assets are not displayed in product

Question

I've spent the whole day trying to figure out this issue, but without any positive results. When I load my website, there are no CSS, images or working javascript.

The app is running on Rails 3.2.13 and Capistrano 2.

Here's my setup:

config/environments/production.rb

Appname::Application.configure do
  config.cache_classes = true

  config.consider_all_requests_local       = false
  config.action_controller.perform_caching = true

  #config.serve_static_assets = false
  config.serve_static_assets = true

  config.assets.compress = true
  config.assets.compile = true
  config.assets.precompile = ['*.js', 'application.css', 'styles.css.scss', '*.css.erb']
  config.assets.precompile += %w(*.png *.jpg *.jpeg *.gif *.svg *.woff *.ttf *.ico)

  config.assets.digest = true
  config.cache_store = :memory_store

  config.i18n.fallbacks = true
  config.active_support.deprecation = :notify
end

application.rb

require File.expand_path('../boot', __FILE__)

require 'rails/all'

if defined?(Bundler)
  Bundler.require(*Rails.groups(:assets => %w(development test)))
end

module Apname
  class Application < Rails::Application
    config.encoding = "utf-8"
    config.filter_parameters += [:password]

    config.active_support.escape_html_entities_in_json = true
    config.active_record.whitelist_attributes = true

    config.assets.enabled = true

    config.assets.paths << "#{Rails.root}/app/assets/fonts"
    config.assets.precompile << /\.(?:svg|eot|woff|ttf)\z/

    config.assets.version = '1.0'
    config.assets.initialize_on_precompile = false
  end
end

I ran locally bundle exec rake assets:precompile -> the files were generated to the public/assets directory.

But still -- there are no assets on production.

I have already no idea what to change in the config files, still the same result on the production server.

Every help will be warmly appreciated!

EDIT:

I just noticed in the console that images are loaded correctly (I can load http://website.com/assets/social_icons/facebook_ico.png), but not CSS+JS (http://IP/assets/application-3b6ba7703e465259e4e7ebee17c5ea1e.js 404 NOT FOUND - the same for .css)

Answer 1

Did you try to restart the webserver after compiling the assets?

Are the rights set correctly (chmod 755 . -R)?

Also, check that your webserver configuration points to app_root/public and not just app_root

EDIT1:

Check if you can load the url directly. In addition verify that the rendered page display correctly-cached urls.

If one of the two fails try forcing compilation for production environment

rake assets:precompile RAILS_ENV=production

EDIT2: If nothing works try rolling back to default assets config for production:

  # Disable Rails's static asset server (Apache or nginx will already do this).
  config.serve_static_assets = false

  # Compress JavaScripts and CSS.
  config.assets.js_compressor = :uglifier
  # config.assets.css_compressor = :sass

  # Do not fallback to assets pipeline if a precompiled asset is missed.
  config.assets.compile = true

  # Generate digests for assets URLs.
  config.assets.digest = true

  # Version of your assets, change this if you want to expire all your assets.
  config.assets.version = '1.0'

instead of:

  #config.serve_static_assets = false
  config.serve_static_assets = true

  config.assets.compress = true
  config.assets.compile = true
  config.assets.precompile = ['*.js', 'application.css', 'styles.css.scss', '*.css.erb']
  config.assets.precompile += %w(*.png *.jpg *.jpeg *.gif *.svg *.woff *.ttf *.ico)

  config.assets.digest = true

I just noticed in the console that images are loaded correctly (I can load http://website.com/assets/social_icons/facebook_ico.png), but not CSS+JS (http://****/assets/application-3b6ba7703e465259e4e7ebee17c5ea1e.js 404 NOT FOUND - the same for .css)

That also means you aren't actually compiling assets. If you were, you'd need to load facebook_ico.png with the hash attached to the name
