Wondering if this is possible in an elegant global way to adjust RoR’s
urls…
Basically what I would like to do is make Rails aware that it needs to
have to adjust all the urls that refer to itself by a preceeding “/
rails” in the urls. I’ve tried things in routes.rb such as “map.test
‘rails/:controller, :action’”, etc…, but to no avail. Currently the
only way I’ve been able to do this is to more or less hard code it
( which may not be too bad of a thing in this case ) in any .rhtml
files with a link_to adjustment, as in
<%= link_to “newBYE”, :controller => “/rails/hello”, :action =>
“list_times” %>
Not knowing RoR well enough yet to know if this is going to be a
problem… but it seems to me a routes.rb generating solution would be
better. I wouldn’t think this would be that hard, but perhaps it’s
to much away from “convention over configuration”.
The reason I want to do this is because at first we’ll be using Apache
to proxy Rails requests, and the ‘/rails’ is the flag for Apache to
hit on the reverse proxy.
Thanks for any information,

Since you’ll be using Apache you can have it do the work for you by
doing something like:
ProxyPass /rails http://127.0.0.1:3000/
ProxyPassReverse /rails http://127.0.0.1:3000/

Well, yes, of course, and that’s what I’m doing.
But how do I tell applications in rails to write links that refer to
applications
written in rails to put in /rails in those url’s?

If you are using Mongrel you can do it like this:
mongrel_rails start -d -p 3000
-a 127.0.0.1
-e production
–prefix /rails
