Rails - Feb 2005 - Apache config issue, rails app in subdir

Hi Everyone, 

  I need to run Rails off of a (virtual) subdirectory of our main 
site.  I checked  back on the list and set up a configuration which 
works, except for one thing. 

 The app is located under the virtual subdir ''u2'' 

  accessing:    http://example.com/u2/home 
  redirects to: http://example.com/home 
  resulting in a 404 not found error 

  accessing:    http://example.com/u2/home/ 
  does the correct thing, loading the index action of the home controller. 

  Note the difference in the trailing slash.  The application works perfectly
otherwise. 

  Can anyone help?  My setup is: 

  1. symlink from htdocs/u2 to rubyapp/public 

  2. changed 1 line in .htaccess to read: 
         
        RewriteBase /u2/dispatch.fcgi 

  3. relevant section of httpd.conf: 

 VirtualHost 192.168.2.2:80> 
  ServerAdmin webmaster-hcDgGtZH8xNBDgjK7y7TUQ@public.gmane.org 
  DocumentRoot /data/sites/example.com/htdocs 
  ServerName www.example.com 
  ServerAlias example.com *.example.com 
  ErrorLog /data/sites/example.com/log/error_log 
  CustomLog /data/sites/example.com/log/access_log combined 

  ... (standard directory and script alias stuff) ... 

  <Directory /sites/example.com/exampleruby/site/public/> 
    Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks 
    AddHandler cgi-script .cgi 
    AllowOverride all 
    Allow from all 
    Order allow,deny 
  </Directory> 

 </VirtualHost> 

  Thanks in advance, 

    Lee
