Question

How do you make the documentation available after running rake doc:app available within your project.

I know I can browse on the local machine but I want to allow other uses to browse the documentation within the application.

I have created a documentation controller within which I have an index method as follows

class DocumentationController < ApplicationController
  def index
    render 'doc/app/index.html'
  end

end

This partially works as it renders the frame but each frame is filled with messages such as

No route matches “/files/doc/README_FOR_APP.html” with {:method=>:get}

So how do I change where a particular controller sets its equivalent of DOCROOT to.

Answer 1

Why don’t you copy ‘doc’ into the ‘public’ directory in the root of your rails app? They are just static HTML files and would be available through just Apache serving them.
