Heroku pictures

Hey guys,

So I'm trying to get my pictures to upload on Heroku and have been unsuccessful. I have changed the

config.serve_static_assets = false

to

config.serve_static_assets = true

I have also looked through the heroku manual and it is very unclear about this issue at least to me.

Does anyone have an idea how to get it to work?

Thanks!

What errors are you getting?

The only error so far is when I run

"rake assets:precompile RAILS_ENV=production"

it says rake aborted!

ActiveRecord::AdapterNotSpecified: database configuration does not specify adapter

I'm currently reading about using add-ons like carrierwave and Cloudinary. Is that the way to go?

Could this have anything to do with it:

ActiveRecord::AdapterNotSpecified: database configuration does not specify adapter

Hey Artem,

I actually don't know? I gave up and deleted it lol!... I think I am suppose to put my assets in the public folder... Not sure if that will work but I am going to try it later tonight so will see.

Does that sound like a solution?

Thanks for answering man!
