Hi all, I''ve read the symlinks wiki and some other wiki pages relating to Apache but I''m just not "getting it". Mandrake Linux (kernel 2.6.8) Apache 1.3.3 DocumentRoot is "/home/httpd/html" Application is physically located in "/home/httpd/applications/foo-1.0.0" I would like the URL to be "http://host.domain.com/foo" I''ve created a "/home/httpd/html/foo" directory. I''ve created a link using "ln -s /home/httpd/applications/foo-1.0.0/public /home/httpd/html/foo" I added "RewriteBase /foo" to the .htaccess file in /home/httpd/applications/foo-1.0.0/public However, when I try to visit http://host.domain.com/foo I get a "cannot find server" error. The apache error log shows this: File does not exist: /home/httpd/html/foo:3000 What am I doing wrong? And how do I get it to just use port 80? I''d rather not create a separate Apache process, btw, if possible. Regards, Dan
Not that my post answers your question, but it may be useful: I have a mass hosting setup using mod_rewrite and the following lines of code did the magic for me in routing requests to dispatch.fcgi (I edited some rules for images and javascripts to keep it short): I placed them in a .conf for apache. AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi AddHandler cgi-script .cgi # ..... RewriteCond ${lowercase:%{SERVER_NAME}} domain.com$ RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /path/to/domain.com/docs/public/dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L] Just thought it *may* be helpful.

Try making the sym link "ln -s /home/httpd/applications/foo-1.0.0 /home/httpd/html/foo" and change the document root in apache to /home/httpd/html/foo/public rails is probably having a hard time finding itself because it cannot use ../environment since the environment directory is not in /home/httpd/html Let me know if this helps David On 2/6/06, Berger, Daniel <Daniel.Berger@qwest.com> wrote:> Hi all, > > I''ve read the symlinks wiki and some other wiki pages relating to Apache > but I''m just not "getting it". > > Mandrake Linux (kernel 2.6.8) > Apache 1.3.3 > > DocumentRoot is "/home/httpd/html" > Application is physically located in > "/home/httpd/applications/foo-1.0.0" > I would like the URL to be "http://host.domain.com/foo" > > I''ve created a "/home/httpd/html/foo" directory. > I''ve created a link using "ln -s > /home/httpd/applications/foo-1.0.0/public /home/httpd/html/foo" > I added "RewriteBase /foo" to the .htaccess file in > /home/httpd/applications/foo-1.0.0/public > > However, when I try to visit http://host.domain.com/foo I get a "cannot > find server" error.

I need to correct what I just said because that won''t work but if you look in the .htaccess file in the public directory you will have your answer. Here is what you need in the apache config file: Alias /foo /home/httpd/applications/foo-1.0.0/public Then add the following line in the .htaccess file: RewriteBase /foo That should do you.
