Heroku app not loading pictures properly

I'm having issues loading up pictures on my Heroku app.

It's driving me nuts.

I have a page with 5 pics on it. It loads up perfectly fine on my local host, but when I try opening up the app on Heroku, only 2 of the 5 images load correctly.

For the rest, I get a 404 error saying RoutingError. I've checked my code over and over again; checked that the files are in public/assets; checked that the file names are being properly referenced in both places but still getting this error.

What could be the problem????

Thanks,

Faisal

Enable assets precompile for production server

config/environments/production.rb

config.serve_static_assets = true
config.assets.compile = true

push your changes to both github and heroku

git add .
git commit -m "Enable assets precompile for production environment"
git push origin master

git push heroku master

That's it :)

Alright, I figured it out. I deleted the pics from public/assets, committed the code, then added the pics back and committed again, and pushed the code.

Note: actually found this fix 2 mins after posting the question, but SO wouldn't let me post the answer until now.

If you do not precompile your assets before deployment I would try this(or a variation of it): 

bundle exec rake assets:precompile
git add . 
git commit -m "precompiled assets"
git push heroku master
