Problems with Datatable Production environment - Linux / Apache

fammunhoz

Good morning

Somedays I'm trying to run a rails application with datatable on the production environment.
The server is a debian with rvm, ruby 1.9.3, rails 3.2.6 and apache installed.
The main application runs fine but the component referring to the datatable is totally ignored.

It does not show the datatables and in the source code of the page you can verify that it is not loading any files: "* js.coffee" which belongs to the folder "assets".

The awkward thing regards to a different component connected to javascript / jquery that works properly in the same application.
Only the datatable component that is not loading.

Is the datatable component compatible with Apache, ruby 1.9.3 and rails 3.2.6?

Or

In the production environment (linux) need a different configuration than the test environment (windows)?


I list Below some files that may help in this verification.


Thank you for any help.

The DataTables project doesn't provide anything more than a Javascript file and some CSS (fundamentally, there are examples etc obviously, but its really only the main JS and CSS file that you need). There is no Gem provided as part of this project, although there are some3rd party options that I'm aware of. I'd suggest asking the authors of those components / gems?

All DataTables needs is an HTTP server, which Apache more certain does.

I'm using https://github.com/rweng/jquery-datatables-rails and we different envs working fine so far. I hope this helps.

I'm really not sure what the root of the problem you're encountering. I think it's related to how rails handles assets.
