If you’re server block only consists of:

server {
    root /home/rails/<myproj>;

    location /images/ {
        root /home/rails/<myproj>/app/assets;
    }
}

The server block really isn’t complete. You can take a look at the error logs for NGINX to see what is or may be causing the issue by running:

tail -20 /var/log/nginx/error.log

If you’ll paste the output of that command to a code block using the </> icon, we can see if there’s a bit of information there that we can use.

Generally though, when it comes to server blocks, you’d have something that looks more like this:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name domain.com www.domain.com;

    root /home/rails/<myproj>;

    location /images {
        root /home/rails/<myproj>/app/assets;
    }
}

That’s very basic and NGINX would only handle /images for you in this case.

Hi!

If you are referring to these images from your app, then you need to use image_path in your code, instead of direct link to the image
