Using d3 to import .csv data error: 404: Not Found error

EDIT: I've read more about using Rails & D3 and the advice I've heard is use JSON for incoming data and make your life easier. Lesson learned.

Basic Ruby/Rails app, creating a stock chart with d3. However, I cannot seem to load my dataset (in this case .csv file saved inside the rails app. Console shows this error:

"GET http:// localhost:3000/pages/sp500.csv 404 (Not Found)" (space added)

My code: 

    d3.csv("sp500.csv", function (data) {

      data.forEach(function(d) {
      d.date = parseDate(d.date);
      d.price = +d.price;
    });

Tried saving the sp500.csv in various directories and calling it in variety of ways, but still stuck. Thanks for help.

You are getting this error because your Rails application isn't serving up the file because it doesn't know to do so. I had the same issue recently when designing an app with Node.js. It has been too long since I have used Rails, so I am afraid that I am not able to help out further than that.

Can you access the file via browser directly without your app and d3?
