Hello, I want to deploy a rails app as a sub-url to an existing site. So, I''m using ProxyPass in apache to proxy urls for /foo to localhost on port 10000, where mongrel is listening. Unfortunately, the helper functions in Rails like link_to seem to insist on providing absolute urls (ie. /admin). That will break with this scheme, since the /foo in the URL won''t be maintained. What is recommended for a deployment like this?

E.g.: mongrel_rails start -d -p 10000 \ -a 127.0.0.1 \ -e production \ --prefix /foo -- Michael Wang --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I had a partially working solution by updating routing with the prefix, but that broke access to the public directory. Thanks!

Mike, any chance you could post the relevant code from your httpd.conf file? I''ve been stumbling around, trying to figure this out, for a while now, and I''ve yet to get multiple sites working on one box, without having work done on DNS tables (which is not a possibility in this case). With a lot of help, I eventually got RoR working for a single site (http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/100239#216736) using ProxyPass. However, this ProxyPass method seems to be the wrong approach for multiple sites on one box (http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/103505#229200) since it demands the changing of DNS tables, which I lack permission to do.

[Commercial > hosting is not a solution for me.]What''s the problem? In httpd.conf you just need something like this: ProxyPass /site1 http://localhost:9000/site1 ProxyPassReverse /site1 http://locahost:9000/site1 ProxyPass /site2 http://localhost:9001/site2 ProxyPassReverse /site2 http://locahost:9001/site2 And to launch each Mongrel you need something like (run from inside each app directory): mongrel_rails start -d -p 9000 \ -a 127.0.0.1 \ -e production \ --prefix /site1 \ mongrel_rails start -d -p 9001 \ -a 127.0.0.1 \ -e production \ --prefix /site2 \ -- Michael Wang --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

The link_to function and it''s brothers all seem to want to use absolute urls instead of relative ones, a terrible practice. I tried turning off that behaviour in the default html options but it didn''t seem to help. In the end I used the mongrel option suggested and it''s working great. Still, I find it sad that Rails suffers from the same broken assumptions about deployment as jakarta-tomcat.> I''ve been stumbling around, trying to figure this out, for a while now, > and I''ve yet to get multiple sites working on one box, without having > work done on DNS tables (which is not a possibility in this case). > > With a lot of help, I eventually got RoR working for a single site > (http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/100239#216736) using ProxyPass. > > However, this ProxyPass method seems to be the wrong approach for > multiple sites on one box > (http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/103505#229200) since it demands the > changing of DNS tables, which I lack permission to do. [Commercial > hosting is not a solution for me.]It now works for me with a combination of proxypass, and mongrel''s -- prefix option. Should work for you.
