Question

Moving rails app to production and running into the routing issues. I’ve read this answer:

What is the replacement for ActionController::Base.relative_url_root?

but am still having problems understanding the complete solution, and also, how to continue to develop without caring where the app gets placed.

I am running the app at: http://dev.mycompany.com:8081/myapp/

So I put this in production.rb:

config.action_controller.relative_url_root = “/myapp”

I put this in routes:

 scope "/myapp" do
    root :to => 'application#index'
    match 'login/index' => 'logins#index',        :as => 'logins_index'
  end

In my form tag, I have:

<form class="loginForm" name="loginForm" id="loginForm" action="<%= url_for('/login') %>" method="post">

I thought that everything would magically work, but in fact I needed to put

 action="<%= url_for('/myapp/login') %>"

To get it to work. Is this expected? I don’t want to have to worry about where my app is getting placed for production, but this solution requires it to be in my code. thanks

Answer 1

You’ve defined helper logins_index_xxx (where xxx can be path or url) but you don’t use it. Why? Try this:

... action="<%= logins_index_path %>" ...
