I want to host multiple Rails apps on a multiple server using sub-directories. And have encountered some relative path problems.
I have made a symbolic link to the app's public directory and placed it in the /var/www/html directory,
var/www/html/ /test_app (symbolic link to the public folder of test_app) and set apache as so
LoadModule passenger_module /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/passenger-3.0.12/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so PassengerRoot /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/passenger-3.0.12 PassengerRuby /usr/local/bin/ruby <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName test.com DocumentRoot /var/www/html Options Indexes FollowSymLinks -MultiViews RailsBaseURI /test_app </Location> </VirtualHost> The links in the app itself works just fine, all the links acknowledge the test_app/ directory and work, however, when it comes to showing images in the public directory in the view, the relative path goes wrong.
Say I have
/system/files/1/aaa.png it goes looking for it in
/var/www/html/system/files/1/aaa.png rather than
/var/www/html/test_app/system/files/1/aaa.png As far as I understand this is an Apache setting problem than something to be done in Rails, if its possible I would prefer to have it contained in the conf file of apache rather than having to alter the code.
