problem in production env with sub-URI deployed application

[adas172002]

Hi,

Rails 4.1.4 app running on Passenger/ apache in sub-URI /svt. Using font-awesome-sass gem in development env works as expected, but after deploying to production enviroment FA fonts do not show up. Apache access log gives possible explanation of the issue:

As you see, font files are 404s because are looked up in root directory of the server, while they should be referenced with subdirectory, like stylesheets files.

For the reference, public/assets/ directory contains font files, generated with sprockets bundle exec rake assets:precompile RAILS_ENV=production

Hi,

Is someone try to fix this bug with assets? Or do you find a workaround @adas172002 ?

Best Regards

Hi Luc,

looks like my bug is unresolved. In fact I am not sure if this a font awesome or Sprockets bug. In the meantime I updated FA to 4.2.0 and also Rails to 4.1.6, sass.gem is 3.2.19 - there is a dependency from foundation-rails.gem I am using in my project.

Anyway, I made links on server in main app public/assets to point font resources from sub-URI assets directory. This works for me, YMMV.
