Answer 1

Go to your app server shared folder and create an uploads directory.

mkdir uploads

In your deploy.rb file insert these codes under deploy namespace

task :symlink_uploads do

run "rm -rf #{latest_release}/public/uploads && ln -nfs #{shared_path}/uploads #{latest_release}/public/uploads"

end

after 'deploy:update_code', 'deploy:symlink_uploads'

Now delete the old files present already as they won't work. Upload a new file and cap deploy your app again. It should work now.
