after days and days of fighting back and forth with an apache/fastcgi environment, i found mongrel and was up and running smoothly in about 10 minutes. i''m having a hard time with something though. if i set up ProxyPass and ProxyPassRevers to the root of the site, everything works fine. however once i try to just use separate directories for all of my apps, none of the attachments are working when using the helpers: images, css files, javascript, etc... to fix this, i''m running each application in it''s own virtual host so that i can just set it to the root directory of it''s own site, but i''m wondering if there is a way around this so i can just have my apps appear to be in separate folders on the same site. any help would be great. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

(It''s a separate apache 2 module which will rewrite the image, stylesheet etc. links when the page comes back through the proxy). See this http://wrath.rubyonrails.org/pipermail/rails/2006-July/052258.html thread on the mailing list. Rick

Rails likes this way much better. Wait for the 0.3.13.4 pre-release, try it out, and then you can use it when it''s official. -- Zed A.
