I'm currently experimenting with Capistrano to deploy my rails app from my host machine to a Ubuntu server running within VirtualBox. It works great, but I am having trouble with the command "cap web:disable" which writes a maintenance page (maintenance.html) to the system folder of my app's public directory. I am using Apache and have enabled mod_rewrite. I have also created a .htaccess file in my app's public directory. When I access the base url of my app (http://192.168.178.33/) I can see the maintenance page in all its glory. However when I access any url which is not the above one e.g. http://192.168.178.33/hello (the 'hello' controller does exist and is normally viewable) I get a 404 error message served by rails. If I look in my production log then I see: ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches "/system/maintenance.html" with {:method=>:get}) My .htaccess file looks like this: ErrorDocument 503 /system/maintenance.html RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.(css|gif|jpg|png)$ RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/system/maintenance.html -f RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !maintenance.html RewriteRule ^.*$ - [redirect=503,last] Can anyone help me sort this out? I have tried googling for a solution, as well as replacing the various paths above with full paths. Thanks in advance.

Answered my own question. In case it helps anyone else, here's the solution / workaround: Stick the contents of the htaccess file in the VirtualHost file and then delete the htaccess file. https://groups.google.com/group/phusion-passenger/...

As a point of interest, it is also possible to solve this problem by adding the following line to the top of htaccess file: PassengerAppRoot /path/to/app/public This will make passenger look in the correct place for "maintenance.html" This is my preferred solution as it doesn't involve restarting appache.
