I have a rails application that i need to be in a subdirectory of an existing application
I am trying to deploy this rails application to a sub directory using the help of this link Here is my application here and as you can see i am getting this error (The directory “/srv/www/www.transprintusa.com” does not appear to be a valid Ruby on Rails application root)
. my public folder is here 

/srv/www/www.transprintusa.com/design/design.transprintusa.com/releases/20110217203009/public/

or with the sym link 

/srv/www/www.transprintusa.com/design/design.transprintusa.com/

here is my VHOST

<VirtualHost 184.106.111.142:80>
      ServerAdmin jom@jom.com
      ServerName transprintusa.com
      ServerAlias www.transprintusa.com
      DocumentRoot /srv/www/www.transprintusa.com/
      ErrorLog /srv/www/www.transprintusa.com/logs/error.log
      CustomLog /srv/www/www.transprintusa.com/logs/access.log combined
        <Directory "/srv/www/www.transprintusa.com/">
                AllowOverride all
                Options -MultiViews
        </Directory>
 RailsBaseURI /design
    <Directory /srv/www/www.transprintusa.com/design/design.transprintusa.com/releases/20110217203009/public/>
        Options -MultiViews
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I even ran this symlink command i ran also 

  ln -s /srv/www/www.transprintusa.com/design/design.transprintusa.com/releases/20110217203009/public/ /srv/www/www.transprintusa.com/design

    Okay – followup on my comment. I’d create the symlink like this (run it from “/srv/www/www.transprintusa.com”):

    ln -Ts design/design.transprintusa.com/releases/20110217203009/public/ rails

    That’ll make a symlink called “rails” in your “/srv/www/www.transprintusa.com” directory (I’m not calling it “design”, ’cause it looks like the design subdirectory already exists – that might have been part of your problem).

    Then give that symlink as the RailsBaseURI:

    RailsBaseURI /rails
<Directory /srv/www/www.transprintusa.com/rails>
    Options -MultiViews
</Directory>

    And that’s it – restart your server and see if it goes. Hope that helps!
