Rails App Deployment: We're sorry, but something went wrong

Posted on August 11, 2014

I followed the steps in this tutorial in setting up my rails app in the production environemnt: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-1-click-install-ruby-on-rails-on-ubuntu-12-10-with-digitalocean

I set up postgresql as my production database, and restarted the server

but as I went to my browser and typed in 107.170.173.62 it gave me the error page: “We’re sorry, but something went wrong.”

I looked then in my unicorn.log file, but there’s nothing abnormal logged. Below is the content from the log file, in its entirety

unicorn.log:

This is my first application deployed on digital ocean. I’ve tried googling everything but not much luck. If there are any steps that I`m missing please let me know.

i run locally bundle exec rake assets:precompile and it solved it for me.

I’m also having trouble, but I haven’t even figured out unicorn or nginx yet. I tried the plain ol’ webrick (rails s) and most of the time the site just times out.

Please make sure you have in your application.rb

config.assets.initialize_on_precompile = false

and your production.rb should contain:

config.cache_classes = true
config.serve_static_assets = true
config.assets.compile = true
config.assets.digest = true

and you are running your app in RAILS_ENV=production
