Trailing Slash Problems with Deployment on Shared Hosting Using SymLinks

Hi,

I've been trying to deploy a simple Rails app for a friend on a shared hosting account. I was able to get the Rails application running, but the URL need to end in a slash or else it would result in a 400 Bad Request error. After searching through the Rails I wiki found a page on the exact same error (Peak Obsession +VHost+Installation, it's toward the bottom of the page). I tried the suggestions there, and they allowed the app to load without the trailing slash, but when the slash was on the URL it resulted in a 400 error. Has anyone had success with similar problems?

Here's my .htaccess file: Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -d RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} ^.*[^\/]$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1/ [N]

RewriteBase /photos

RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA] RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.cgi?$1 [QSA,L
