Re: [PhillyOnRails] rails fastcgi issues

["Joe Cairns" <joe.cairns@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Yes I have my apps running under /opt/appname on a debian box.  I made a couple of small functions that addressed exactly this as a temporary solution.  I was hoping to find a more elegant method when I started finishing up the dev cycle.  Here they are and I hope it helps:

  #~ Uses RAILS_ROOT to determine the path to the public directory
  def rails_public
      RAILS_ROOT.gsub('/config/..', '/public/')
  end
  
  #~ relative pathway to the rails app for the passed absolute path
  #~ /opt/appname/public/assets/1/gallery/3 transforms to /assets/1/gallery/3
  def relative_url(abs_path)
      abs_path.gsub(rails_public, '/')
  end

Let me know if that helps at all.

Have you done it where the proxy is less than the entire root
directory?  e.g. have /foo on the Apache server go to "/" or "/foo" on
the Rails servers?  My first stab at this didn't work because all the
links in the pages to stylesheets, etc. were absolute links on the
Rails side, which didn't fall into the required "/foo/*" context on
the Apache side.  If there was an easy way to make them relative links
or set up the routing appropriately on the Rails side that would be
great.

Thanks,
