nginx won't serve all my assets (Ruby on Rails 4) - ruby-on-rails

Question

I have a Ruby on Rails app running under unicorn/nginx. The problem is that nginx won't serve all my assets. The CSS & JS files seem to be loaded but the images aren't served.
Here is my nginx conf file :
upstream unicorn {
server unix:/tmp/unicorn.aiccrr.sock fail_timeout=0;
}
server {
listen 80 default deferred;
server_name exemple.com;
root /home/aiccrr/aiccrr/public;
try_files $uri/index.html $uri #unicorn;
location #unicorn {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_pass http://unicorn;
}
location ~ \.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico|html)$ {
gzip_static on;
expires max;
add_header Cache-Control public;
}
error_page 500 502 503 504 /500.html;
client_max_body_size 1G;
keepalive_timeout 10;
}
unicorn.rb file :
root = "/home/aiccrr/aiccrr"
working_directory root
pid "#{root}/tmp/pids/unicorn.pid"
stderr_path "#{root}/log/unicorn.log"
stdout_path "#{root}/log/unicorn.log"
listen "/tmp/unicorn.aiccrr.sock"
worker_processes 2
timeout 30
I did rake assets:precompile at least 10 times today and added this line to the production.rb :
config.assets.precompile += %w[*.png *.jpg *.jpeg *.gif]
I'm running out of ideas. Do you have any idea please?
Thank you in advance.

Try the following:
Disable Rails asset server
# config/production.rb
# Disable Rails's static asset server (Apache or nginx will already do this).
config.serve_static_assets = false
try following changes to your `nginx.conf
upstream unicorn {
server unix:/tmp/unicorn.aiccrr.sock fail_timeout=0;
}
server {
listen 80 default deferred;
server_name exemple.com;
location / {
root /home/aiccrr/aiccrr/public;
location ~ \.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico|html)$ {
expires max;
gzip_static on;
add_header Cache-Control public;
break;
}
# If the file exists as a static file serve it directly without
# running all the other rewrite tests on it
if (-f $request_filename) {
break;
}
if (!-f $request_filename) {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_pass http://unicorn;
}
}
error_page 500 502 503 504 /500.html;
client_max_body_size 1G;
keepalive_timeout 10;
}
If it still doesn't work, post back with result of Log files & also URL to example nginx where you can replicate this issue. Thanks
