Hi there, I'm trying to use RESTful routes with an application that has 2 possible URL roots (e.g):
www.example.com/yournamehere/ and www.yournamehere.com/ (for people who wish to use their own domain name for the app)
with the same application being run for both on a mongrel cluster behind apache.
Ideally I wouldn't have 2 seperate deployments, but currently I can't work out how else to create a routes file that works for both such that I can use url_for throught my app. I have tried adding a conditional to the routes file:
if request.env['SERVER_NAME'].include("example.com") prefix = '/:artistname' else prefix = '' end
and adding the "prefix" variable to the affected routes eg:
map.artist_cv prefix+'/cv/:action', :controller => 'cv_items', :action => 'index' map.resources :artworks, :path_prefix => prefix
Unsurprisingly nothing has worked so far! I'm not even sure if it's possible to use a variable like that in a route and I can't access request.env either as it hasn't been initialised yet.
Can anyone tell me if I'm totally barking up the wrong tree, and if they have any better suggestions... thanks dorian
