Sounds like you have static asset serving turned off - easiest way to test this is to go straight to pick a file in public and try to go straight to that url, e.g. if you've got public/logo.png then go to http://ip/logo.png. In production this is usually sensible since you typically have nginx / apache handling that side of things. The setting for this is config.serve_static_files.
