So background-image: url(/images/bg_image.jpg); becomes background-image url(../images/bg_image.jpg); assuming that the 'images' directory is at the same level as your 'stylesheet' directory.

I read elsewhere to put this in environment.rb but I could not figure out how to not have to alter my development setup to accommodate this change. Seems pretty obvious now to put it in production.rb. But I do have another issue to point out. relative_url_root was not able to handle my CSS file's use of an absolute path, like so: background-image: url(/images/bg_image.jpg); So, my background image no longer appears because it's not able to actually find it in /other_url/images/bg_image.jpg. Were you able to find a workaround? Thanks. I read elsewhere to put this in environment.rb but I could not figure out how to not have to alter my development setup to accommodate this change.

Were you able to find a workaround?
