POCamping's URL() doesn't give me "site root" as expected?
text
Body
copied!<p>Due to circumstances beyond my control, my production Camping site appears at <code>mysite.example.com/mysite</code>. I'm pretty sure this is a common Apache / Passenger configuration issue, and I'm not interested in how to fix it right now because the server is out of my control. Suffice to say, the controller for "/" points there and I can't change that any time soon.</p> <p>Now, for a long time, this wasn't an issue, because <code>R(MyIndexController)</code> points to the correct place. However, I serve my site's CSS using a <code>Rack::Static</code> call to make $SITE_ROOT/public accessible. This means that the stylesheet is at <code>mysite.example.com/mysite/css/style.css</code>. Here's where the problem comes in: the Camping <code>URL()</code> method, when called in my layout, gives <code>http://mysite.example.com</code>, not <code>http://mysite.example.com/mysite</code>. So I can't get it to point to the /css subdirectory, because it's missing a "hop" in the middle. When I run rackup locally, everything is fine (because this file is at <code>localhost:8080/css/style.css</code>), but on the production server I don't know how to fix it.</p> <p>My question: is there another method (maybe directly from Rack?) that I should be calling instead? I really want to avoid hardcoding it, and/or having a hack to determine whether I'm running locally (for debug) or in production, for every rendering of the layout.</p> <p>ETA: OK, this gets stranger. Obviously I've abstracted out some of the actual details above, part of which I think I "over-scrubbed". The "top level" URL is actually more akin to <code>/mysite/rest</code> (the developer-centric HTML presentation of our RESTful interface), as opposed to <code>/mysite/management</code> (accounts) or <code>/mysite/ui</code> (JQuery'd / "nice" UI). These are set up in our config.ru, via <code>run Rack::URLMap.new(Hash['/rest' => RestModule, '/ui' => PrettyInterfaceModule, '/management' => UserManagerModule]</code>, etc.</p> <p>So in answer to the comment below, R(Index), from a view in the RestModule, actually returns <code>/mysite/rest/</code>. As an example, I have a "home" link in the layout, which looks like <code>a :href=>R(Index)</code>, and generates code that looks like <code><a href="/mysite/rest/"></code>. The server is configured to serve files from ./public directly at the "site root", so <code>./public/css/style.css</code> actually does apppear at <code>http://mysite.example.com/mysite/css/style.css</code>, as noted previously. It's <em>that</em> link that I'm having trouble automatically generating, and it's because of the Rack::URLMap that I thought I may have to rely on a native Rack method (not a Camping abstraction) to locate this resource.</p>
