I'm new to Rails and I'm trying to deploy an existing Rails app to AWS Elastic Beanstalk. But all I'm getting is just the "Congralutions Page" (FYI: I'm able to run the app on "localhost:3000" using "rails server" )

I followed the instructions indicated in: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/create_deploy_Ruby_rails.html

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Here's what I did:

# cd /var/www/myapp
# bundle update
# bundle install
# git init 
# git add .
# git commit -m "Initial commit"
# eb init
 // .....configuration
 // ..
# eb start
# git add .gitignore && git commit -m "Ignore .elasticbeanstalk from Git"
# git aws.push
# eb status --verbose

I found out what was happening. It was a "git" problem.

It is a similar problem indicated in the following post: deploying to heroku -- can't get rid of the "welcome to rails" default page Except it wass for Heroku.

Anyway, This is what I did to solve it:

git rm public/index.html
git commit -m "Removed public/index.html"
git aws.push
