Your .htaccess file looks fine, so it should be working. It sounds like there may be some other problem (gems missing?). Could you send in a ticket so we can take a look at your specific account to determine the problem?

Also, after you submit the ticket, please e-mail me at gmcmillan _AT_ site5 DOT com with the ticket number and I’ll take a look, too.

Thanks,

Graham

I am attempting to deploy two rails apps to my server, named ‘depot’ and ‘audit’. I am using capistrano to deploy each, and deploy.rb for each is identical except for the :application and :repository settings.

I am including my .htaccess file for ‘audit’ below:
==================
PassengerEnabled on

RailsBaseURI /audit
==================
The .htaccess file for ‘depot’ differs only in the contents of /approot.

I have added the
config.action_controller.relative_url_root = “/audit” to my environment.rb, and have done the same for depot.

What am I missing?

That is odd, we tested it on every browse we have and no problems. What browser and version are you using?

Thanks, Ben

Nice article, thanks.
Seems something wrong with javascript on this page,
it reloads every few seconds at my browser.

Awesome article, and not before time, I tried several attempts to getting typo blog software running, was about to give up, but thanks to the above, I have finally got typo 5.3 working

my only mistake was, I pointed config.action_controller.relative_url_root = “/approot”
to the application root, not the sub domain / directory, as soon as I did that, I will welcomed by the login screen

so again awesome article, I would suggest the above gets posted in the ruby forum on site5

Based on my recent experience, these instructions work if you’re deploying a subdirectory (as in http://mysite.com/subdirectory), but won’t work if the subdirectory is actually a subdomain (as in http://subdirectory.mysite.com). In the latter case, “RailsBaseURI /approot” and ‘onfig.action_controller.relative_url_root = “/approot”‘ weren’t necessary.

The other thing that caused problems were the rewrite rules in my .htaccess file. They worked with fcgi, but interfere with Phusion Passenger.

Hope this helps!
