I have a Rails application that a couple of folders in the root (of public) for Wordpress and Mediawiki that I want to completely exclude from Rails routing. How do I have the routing function of my Rails app ignore anything in the /blog or /wiki directories? Example: When someone types in http://mydomain.com/blog, I want the Rails app''s routing to ignore it.

Thanks Fred, but it''s a shared hosting environment, and I don''t have access to anything outside my /home area. I''m looking for a way to tell Rails routing, "Ignore these two directories."

You don''t have to worry. Rails runs as the 404 handler, so only handles files that do not exist in the normal web server html area. So, if the php file exists, it should take precedence over rails. Think of how the index.html file has to be removed from a new rails app to get it started. I''d set a catchall route so that Rails would notice missing files in those applications. Brendon.
