Hi All, We have a PHP site running on apache 1.3 and Im trying to graft typo onto it at /blog/. Ive got the running using the symlink method but apache/fastcgi are clunky to say the least so I want to move typo over to lighttpd. Ive got this all working and Im now trying to get a proxy working through from apache. Im using this: RewriteRule ^/blog/?(.*)$ http://blog.myorg.net:8080/$1 [P] This is working fine apart from Rails thinks its at the root of the site so all the links (from link_to etc) come out as /articles/whatever instead of /blog/articles/whatever. Does anyone know of a way around this or even an alternative set up which might work. I would even consider moving the PHP portion of the site over if that makes it easier. Any wisdom on this? Ive ploughed through all the wiki and other articles on the subject but found no solution as yet. Hope someone can help me out, Ive been tearing my hair out over this for days... Thanks in advance for saving what''s left of my hair, -- Dan Webb http://www.danwebb.net

Thanks very much, I''ll try that. I''ve been trying to use proxypassreverse but to know avail so far. What does proxypassreverse do exactly? Does it just fix the redirects?

Does it just fix the redirects?Yeah, that''s it. The important part of the fix is the lighttpd option though -- I think you can successfully use either the mod_rewrite or the ProxyPass style of configuring Apache. Chris.
Hi, After some reading of actionpacks source code I came up with a really nice solution to this problem (and other related problems) so I thought I''d post here for anyone else who might be interested. In one of the environment files add: ActionController::AbstractRequest.relative_url_root = "/blog" where /blog is the directory your rails app will work under. This causes Routes and all the url helpers to work correctly under lighty (on apache action pack works this out for itself). Thanks, -- Dan Webb http://www.danwebb.net
