Custom homepage not showing up on Heroku deploy

I'm just starting out with rails and have been deploying my mini app to heroku as practice. Everything seems to be working fine, except for the home page. No matter what I've done, I still see the "Welcome aboard, you're riding Ruby on Rails" page. I've deleted public/index.html, and included the following line in routes.rb:

root to: 'static_pages#home'

This works fine on my own machine, but refuses to work when I deploy to Heroku. Any idea what would be happening?

Edit: Here's the rest of my routes.rb, not sure if it will help:

SampleApp::Application.routes.draw do
  resources :users
  resources :sessions, only: [:new, :create, :destroy]
  resources :comments

  match '/signup',   to: 'users#new'
  match '/signin',   to: 'sessions#new'
  match '/signout',  to: 'sessions#destroy', via: :delete

  root to: 'static_pages#home'

  match '/about',   to: 'static_pages#about'
  match '/contact', to: 'static_pages#contact' 
end

Remove the public/index.html file by doing

git rm public/index.html
git add (any other files you want to the commit) #optional
git commit -m "removing public index"
git push heroku master

Since, heroku does a git based deployment - removing from just local will not help.
