1. in config/routes.rb insert line
ActionController::AbstractRequest.relative_url_root = "/app1"
2. create a symlink in app1 "public": ln -s . app1
3. start mongrel or webrick
ruby script/server OR
mongrel_rails start -p 3000
4. connect directly to the server (without proxy) and test your application
http://domain:3000/app1/
I'm 100% sure it will work
Thanks, Alex. I tried the above and it does work. If I point to http://domain:3000/app1, my app works perfectly.
However, when I turn on the ProxyPass in Apache to port 80, and then point to
http://domain/app1
The app goes into an endless loop.
Checking the logs, my app is initially correctly being routed to my default controller and method (ie: http://domain/app1/items/index). However when method 'items' redirects to method 'view_list', the application routes to:
http://domain/items/view_list
So basically it's not applying the /app1 prefix to all redirects.
Here's a log excerpt when I access my app1 home page (just relevent lines):
Processing ItemsController#index (for 172.27.6.134 at 2006-09-08 09:55:10) [GET]
Parameters: {"action"=>"index", "controller"=>"items"}
<snip>
Redirected to http://domain/app1/items/view_list
Completed in 0.03146 (31 reqs/sec) | DB: 0.00549 (17%) | 302 Found [ http://domain/items/view_list]
As you can see, the last line is the problem - no app1
So it seems I'm still missing a step.
My settings in my apache conf are simple:
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot /var/www
# the usual other settings <snip>
ProxyPass /app1 http://localhost:3000
ProxyPassReverse /app1 http://localhost:3000
ProxyPreserveHost on
</VirtualHost>
What am I still missing?
