Apache FCGI and rails image issues help

Rails
1

Hi guys

i am usin apache and the fcgi but it cannot see images? i have no idea
why i need to leave them outside the public folder and to access the app
i use localhost/public/app this is the only way i can c the image other
wise its a routin error any ideaS?

Its sounds like a rooting error i agree no prob this is my apache config
as in the vhost

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName rails
DocumentRoot “c:/rails/wine/”
<Directory “c:/rails/wine/public/”>
Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Allow from all
Order allow,deny
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi

my app is in a folder C:\rails\wine

i can access it no prob using http://localhost/public/wine/show/1

as in the controller wine etc as this is pointing at the public folder
1st if i change the directory above DocumentRoot “c:/rails/wine/” to
DocumentRoot “c:/rails/wine/public” this works on
http://localhost/wine/show/1 which is correct however i cannot view the
images if i try http://localhost/myimage.gif i get a routing error or
sometimes a method error depending what way i try or my vhost config

any help would be great guys thanks

Your DocumentRoot directive should point to “c:/rails/wine/public”.

Hi, John.

I’m not sure what you’re saying here. Images are traditionally kept
inside public/images, and accessed at http://YOURBASEURL/images/*.
Routing shouldn’t be involved unless you’re hitting up a controller.

Again, your problem is not clear, so perhaps you could clarify what
URL is failing.
