Assets not showing up in production with "rails s" command with Chrome browser

Question

None of my assets, such as images, javascripts, and styling features are showing up when I run the following command:

RAILS_ENV=production rails s

Then I go to http://localhost:3000 and the application comes up, but has no styling at all.

I did precompile the assets:

➜  myapp git:(master) ✗ bundle exec rake assets:precompile --trace
 Invoke assets:precompile (first_time)
 Execute assets:precompile
 /Users/me/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p545/bin/ruby /Users/me/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p545@myapp/bin/rake assets:precompile:all RAILS_ENV=production RAILS_GROUPS=assets --trace
 Invoke assets:precompile:all (first_time)
 Execute assets:precompile:all
 Invoke assets:precompile:primary (first_time)
 Invoke assets:environment (first_time)
 Execute assets:environment
 Invoke environment (first_time)
 Execute environment
 Invoke tmp:cache:clear (first_time)
 Execute tmp:cache:clear
 Execute assets:precompile:primary
 Invoke assets:precompile:nondigest (first_time)
 Invoke assets:environment (first_time)
 Execute assets:environment
 Invoke environment (first_time)
 Execute environment
 Invoke tmp:cache:clear (first_time)
 Execute tmp:cache:clear
 Execute assets:precompile:nondigest

This works just fine in Safari, can't figure out why Chrome won't load the stuff. I cleared out the browser cache also.

In config/environments/production.rb, make sure your application is configured to serve static assets:

config.serve_static_assets = true

By default, Rails assumes that your static assets will be served elsewhere (e.g. Apache, Nginx, etc.)
