Hi All,  
I need to get my Ruby on Rails application running on:  
[http://IP](http://IP):port/AppName/Controller/Action  
rather than:  
[http://IP](http://IP):port/Controller/Action directly  
That’s because I want to integrate it with facebook.

I’ve tried the following in environment.rb but didn’t work:  
uncommented:  
config.action\_controller.session\_store = :active\_record\_store

and added:  
ActionController::AbstractRequest.relative\_url\_root = “/myappname”

But it didn’t work, can any1 please advise.

I think you’ll need to either configure this with the web server, and/or  
possibly add the AppName to your routes. I’m really not sure since I’ve  
never done it, but that would be a good place to start.

I would put nginx in front of your rails app and rewrite it. This way  
when  
you need more mongrels you just add more upstream directives.
