It sounds like whatever webserver you're using on the Production
machine (eg Apache, Nginx, etc) isn't actually handling the requests
for the requests for the static javascripts/stylesheets. In the case
of Apache (I don't have any real experience with anything else), make
sure that Options +FollowSymLinks is in your .htaccess or your vhost
container, and also depending on what Ruby app server you're using,
the appropriate rewrite directives are in place to only pass requests
to the app server for URI's that *do not* exists.
If you need more precise help, what web server and Ruby app server are
you using on the production server?
