Hi

I have a mongrel proxy that listen on that url:  
[http://www.domain.tdl/blaa/main/index](http://www.domain.tdl/blaa/main/index). The ‘blaa’ is a static link that  
activates the proxy.

How can I change the rails routing, that every link directs to  
[http://www.domain.tdl/blaa/.../index](http://www.domain.tdl/blaa/.../index) and not like it is at the moment to  
[http://www.domain.tdl/main/index](http://www.domain.tdl/main/index) ?

So the problem is that everytime when I click on a link I get an error  
that the file is not existing, naturally.

Greetings Andi

You have to add a prefix line in the mongrel that you are running…

Starting mongrel with a prefix

mongrel\_rails start -e production -d --prefix /blaa
