Rails at a different document root?

Hi,

I need my Rails app to not create internal URLs that begin with "/", but rather something like "/rails". Does anyone know where this would be configured?

Basically, I'm building a setup with Rails behind Apache, and Apache using mod_proxy to route requests to the Rails server instance. So for example, Apache is doing this:

https://server/rails ---> http://localhost:3000

Thanks, Robb

Hmm. This appears to answer my question:

You can also look a Mongrels prefix setting to get your app running under a /something url.

Would work great with mod_proxy

RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/my_app1(.*)$ http://localhost:8000%{REQUEST_URI} [P,QSA,L]

this in you mongrel_config.yml

prefix: /my_app1 port: "8000" environment: production address: 127.0.0.1
