Run rails server as production

Short note

• rake assets:precompile
• config.serve_static_assets = true # on production.rb
• rails s -e production

That’s all.

config.serve_static_assets

When you run rake middleware you’ll see use ActionDispatch::Static in the development mode but not in production mode.

In normal case, you should not set that to true unless for trying production mode on local machine. As the comment on the source code suggested:

Disable Rails’s static asset server (Apache or nginx will already do this)
