Ruby on Rails
HowToUseRailsWithAliasedURLs (Version #1)

WikiGardening in progress. We’re combining/reorganizing several related howto’s at the moment, apologies for the dust. As a first stage, we are gathering all the related questions and their answers in one place and this is the place.

I installed rails under an alias in my apache installation:




        Alias /booking "/var/www/booking/public"
        <Directory /var/www/booking/public/>
                Options <span class="newWikiWord">ExecCGI<a href="http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/ExecCGI">?</a></span> <span class="newWikiWord">FollowSymLinks<a href="http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/FollowSymLinks">?</a></span>
                <span class="newWikiWord">AllowOverride<a href="http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/AllowOverride">?</a></span> all
                Allow from all
                Order allow,deny

This made the default RewriteXXX?’s in public/.htaccess go haywire.

The easy solution to this problem was to add a RewriteBase to the .htaccess:




<a href="http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/RewriteBase" class="existingWikiWord">RewriteBase</a> /booking

This seems to make everything work like intended.
