So I ran the following after installing and having a perfectly working development environment …

$RAILS_ENV=“production” bundle exec rake db:migrate
$RAILS_ENV=“production” bundle exec rake db:seed
$RAILS_ENV=“production” bundle exec rake generate_secret_token
$RAILS_ENV=“production” bundle exec rake assets:precompile

Everything Completes so I run…

$RAILS_ENV=“production” bundle exec rails server

If I then access OpenProject at http://localhost:3000 it looks seriously corrupt (please see attached screenshot)

If I then CTRL+C and run the development environment it has issues with the drop down Sign In box on the right … is very jittery and kind of hides behind the blue banner & search box

Any help would be appreciated :)

Hello,

Database Reset

You can clean up the database with the following command:

bundle exec rake db:drop db:create db:migrate db:seed

If db:seed fails just restart only this command.

Jittery development environment

The development mode does not work with precompiled assets, so you need to remove the assets when working in development environment with the following command:

bundle exec rake assets:clean

I hope that helps and thanks a lot for the praise!

Kind regards,

Hi Hagen Thanks for the advice however the Production Environment still looks like it has lost all the CSS, do you know why this maybe?

Hi,

now you lost me. :-) If you’re working in production you need to precompile the asset. But if you’re working in development you need to clean up the assets. In which environment are you working at the moment?

Please don’t forget to set config.serve_static_assets = true in config/environments/production.rb.

Kind regards,
Hagen

If you start your server with:

RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails server

You have to deliver the assetes through the rails application. To make this happen you have to change this:

File: config/environments/production.rb line 44

from:
  config.serve_static_assets = false
to:
  config.serve_static_assets = true
