Question

Still can’t get this working…Rails 3.1.3, Ruby 1.9.2 on Heroku’s Cedar Stack.

Trying to use https://github.com/jtrupiano/rack-rewrite to make http://domain 301 redirect to http://www.domain to no luck (app works, but no redirects happen at all).

/config/initializers/rack_rewrite.rb (MyAppName is actually the correct name, domain.com is actual domain):

MyAppName::Application.config.middleware.insert_before(Rack::Lock, Rack::Rewrite) do
    r301 %r{.*}, 'http://www.domain.com$&', :if => Proc.new {|rack_env|
    rack_env['SERVER_NAME'] != 'www.domain.com'
    }
end

Added to Gemfile:

gem 'rack-rewrite'

Did “gem install rack-rewrite”, “bundle install”.

No luck.

Any ideas?

UPDATE:

I have figured out PART of the problem. Since I’m just trying to serve “index.html” and it’s “/style” folder, it appears that having “index.html” in “/public” overrides the rack-rewrite. If I remove “index.html”, the rewrites work…but now I don’t know where to put the files, or set up the routes.rb to direct to the index.html page by default…any help?

change

rack_env['SERVER_NAME'] != 'www.domain.com'

to

rack_env['SERVER_NAME'] == 'domain.com'
