I tried posting this once but had problems with Google Groups. Hi, I watched the rails screencast on creating a blog in 15 minutes. I followed along got it working on my home PC and I then uploaded it to my web host. So I have, /home/<username>/blog I had to change some config in the blog app (i.e. production mode, db settings). I then created a directory.... cd ~/public_html/bor And a symlink to point to my blog app.... ln -s ~/blog/public ~/public_html/bor I deleted the blog/public/index.html and I modified blog/config/ routes.rb to contain the following line: map.connect '''', :controller => ''blog'', :action =>''index'' I did that so when someone goes to mysite.com/bor/ they would get directed to what is the index action in my blog_controller. Ok, so things are working and I can see my blog posts when I go to, mysite.com/bor/ Now if I click on post I get redirected to mysite.com/bor/blog/show/1 .....and from that page if I click "back" I end up at mysite.com/bor/blog/list ....basically all the links look like mysite.com/bor/blog/<blah blah blah> instead of what I hoped to see, mysite.com/bor/<blah blah blah>. Any ideas? If it helps, my blog_controller.rb has the following method for the "index" ... def index list render :action => ''list'' end Thanks! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

> uh huh... > > simplest solution rename blog controller to bor controller and move it > up a directory...I am reading the agile book now (is there a certain section you recommend for more information?). Anyways, what do you mean by "move it up a directory"? Move the bor_controller somewhere? The controller is kept in app/controllers, sorry just not understanding what you mean. Thanks for the help though. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

If you have other controllers, your url would look like: /bor/comments/show/1 /bor/products/new You can setup a custom route that looks like: map.blog '':action/:id'', :controller => ''blog'' Now you can do: url_for(:controller => ''blog'', :action => ''show'', :id => 123) Or even better: blog_url(:action => ''show'', :id => 123) and get the url: /bor/show/123 Just keep in mind that if you do add more controllers in the future rails routing will have a hard time figuring out what goes to the blog controller and what goes to the other controllers. This is why its best to keep controller names in the url. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I''d prefer not to even have the "bor" and symlink....but I didn''t know how else to expose blog/public to the web.
