Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

Question

I have rails app which are working perfectly in the local computer. But when I'm deploying it on Heroku I get next error in the browser:

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) http://hollow-cloud-nnn.herokuapp.com/stylesheets/application.css
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) http://hollow-cloud-nnn.herokuapp.com/javascripts/application.js

I have this files in the app\assets\javascript and \app\assets\stylesheets folder.

Here is my config\production.rb:

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

# Compress JavaScripts and CSS
config.assets.compress = true

# Don't fallback to assets pipeline if a precompiled asset is missed
config.assets.compile = true

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

Here is console output of deployment:

       Using mongoid (2.4.7)
       Using rails (3.2.1)
       Using sass (3.1.15)
       Using sass-rails (3.2.5)

How can I fix it?

Answer 1

You should precompile assets or set config.assets.compile = true in your production environment.
