Try this:

Open config/application.rb, add the following line:

config.assets.precompile += %w(*.png *.jpg *.jpeg *.gif)

In your config.ru file, add

 require 'bootstrap-sass'

Rename your application.css.scss to something else e.g. custom_bootstrap.css.scss. I have no idea why it makes a difference but it did in my case.

Also, from what I understand, by default bootstrap-sass does not require you to add

  //require bootstrap

to your application.js. Apparently it breaks some kind of functionality.
