AWS Rails Application Failure to deploy error

Here are the logs for eb deploy failure. It appears to be something with precompiling. I ran into similar issue with Heroku and haven't been able to solve either of them. Localhost launches fine but pre-compiling is not working due to UTF-8 format. I'm not too sure though as to how to proceed. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

      mexil@nach:~/workspace/dryit$ eb deploy

Not sure what's causing the byte issue, I'm guessing it's some weird character somewhere, but anyways, here's a possible work around:

First, go to the environment in your AWS console, and hit on the gear thing for Software Configuration. There should be a key value pair where the key is "RAILS_SKIP_ASSET_COMPILATION" with the value "false". Change it to "true" (or if it's not there, enter it).

Then in your app, edit your production environment (config/environments/production.rb), so it says "config.assets.compile = false".

Last, in the command line enter "rake assets:precompile", then commit the changes to your git repository and you should be good to go. Just remember to manually precompile your assets if you change them in the future.
