Nginx not serving static content over rails

Question

I want to serve static images with nginx. I have in my nginx.conf

location /i/ {
      alias /home/matt/images/;
}

I am going to server.com/i/928675140291b6.jpg Just to see if it will serve the image, But I'm getting in production.log :

ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches [GET] "/i/928675140291b6.jpg"):

The response to curl -I server.com/i/928675140291b6.jpg :

HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Server: nginx/1.10.0 (Ubuntu)

Answer 1

My problem was, for some reason, nginx doesen't care about the nginx.conf in my Rails project folder. I edited the file in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/my_app and now nginx is listening.
