Rails - Aug 2006 - routeset mapper problem

hello,

I installed a rails app on dreamhost, which I''m building based on the 
Comatose plugin, and it went smoothly for the first version.

Now I uploaded a second version where I broke down the Comatose code 
into a regular rails app, which works alright locally, but can''t get 
routing to work the same as before on the server. I believe I 
double-checked all gotchas mentioned about rails deployment on the DH 
wiki - such as permissions, checking that dispatch.fcgi runs on the 
command-line, checking .htaccess, killing all dispatch processes before 
reloading, checking logs (nothing), running webbrick... and no luck yet. 
I get a simple file not found.

here''s the routing config I have

in /config/routes.rb I have:

map.content_root ''''

and then there are two route_mappers, required from environment.rb, 
which are loaded depending on the version of rails

in environment.rb:

if defined? ActionController::Routing::RouteSet::Mapper
  require ''support/route_mapper''
else
  require ''support/routes''
end

in /lib/support/routes.rb:

# Adds the content_root mapping support to the Rails Routset
class ActionController::Routing::RouteSet
  def content_root( path, options={} )
    opts = {
      :index      => '''',
      :layout     => ''content'',
      :use_cache  => ''true'',
      :cache_path => nil,
      :force_utf8 => Comatose::Options.force_utf8.to_s,
      :named_route=> nil
    }.merge(options)
    # Ensure the controller is aware of the mount point...
    ContentController.add_root(path, opts[:index])
    # Add the route...
    opts[:controller] = ''content''
    opts[:action] =''show''
    route_name = opts.delete(:named_route)
    unless route_name.nil?
      named_route( route_name, "#{path}/*page", opts )
    else
      if opts[:index] == '''' # if it maps to the root site URI,
name it
content_root
        named_route( ''content_root'',
"#{path}/*page", opts )
      else
        connect( "#{path}/*page", opts )
      end
    end
  end

  def method_missing( name, *args )
    if name.to_s.starts_with?( '''' )
      opts = (args.last.is_a?(Hash)) ? args.pop : {}
      opts[:named_route] = name.to_s #[9..-1]
      content_root( *(args << opts) )
    else
      (1..2).include?(args.length) ? named_route(name, *args) : 
super(name, *args)
    end
  end

end


and

in /lib/support/route_mapper.rb
# For use with ''Edge Rails''
class ActionController::Routing::RouteSet::Mapper
  def content_root( path, options={} )
    opts = {
      :index      => '''',
      :layout     => ''content'',
      :use_cache  => ''true'',
      :cache_path => nil,
      :force_utf8 => Comatose::Options.force_utf8.to_s,
      :named_route=> nil
    }.merge(options)
    # Ensure the controller is aware of the mount point...
    ContentController.add_root(path, opts[:index])
    # Add the route...
    opts[:controller] = ''content''
    opts[:action] =''show''
    route_name = opts.delete(:named_route)
    unless route_name.nil?
      named_route( route_name, "#{path}/*page", opts )
    else
      if opts[:index] == '''' # if it maps to the root site URI,
name it
content_root
        named_route( ''content_root'',
"#{path}/*page", opts )
      else
        connect( "#{path}/*page", opts )
      end
    end
  end

  def method_missing( name, *args, &proc )
    if name.to_s.starts_with?( '''' )
      opts = (args.last.is_a?(Hash)) ? args.pop : {}
      opts[:named_route] = name.to_s #[9..-1]
      content_root( *(args << opts) )
    else
      super unless args.length >= 1 && proc.nil?
      @set.add_named_route(name, *args)
    end
  end
end

I''m at a loss over how to debug this... while I read up on routes, any 
pointers or ideas would be greatly appreciated! :)

thanks
Oliver

Do you have the same Rails version on both your development machine
and your host? (is it running from vendor/rails ?)

I don''t know comatose but... what is throwing the file not found?

anyhow if you are using edge, you may find helpful the routing
navigator plugin (

).
