Is there a way to manually specify the root url that a <%= link_to %> generates? So i can make an auto generated url that used to go to mywebsite.myhost.com/comments be go to example.com/comments ? The reason, if you''re wondering is that I have hosting at a site and my domain forwarded and masked through go-daddy. This means when you go to example.com you are seeing content on mywebsite.myhost.com but the url shows up as example.com. The problem comes when you click on a link for lets say comments, for whatever reason instead of showing example.com/comments in the url it just shows example.com. If you type example.com/comments directly into the address bar though, everything works great you get the content you expect and the url you expect. So how can i make my <%= link_to %>''s use example.com as the base url instead of mywebsite.myhost.com??? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
I tried setting the default_url_options in my config/environments.rb
like this:
config.action_controller.default_url_options = { :host =>
''example.com''}
but I get this error when i restart my server I get this error, is there
another way to accomplish this taks?

Still haven''t been able to figure this out. Instead i just changed the nameserver on go-daddy to point at my RoR host''s servers. So even though i can''t host the DNS on the same server, i can have the DNS point at my RoR host server. Learn something new every day! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
