hi

for my application on the web server,  
the path is: [iCloud](http://www.me.com/rails/mycode)

but on my development machine (instant rails/vista),  
the route is: [iCloud](http://www.me.com/mycode) ((( no /rails ))))

it is only a problem, when calling  
a controller from the public folder.  
because the paths are different.

is there any thing i can do my development  
machine to make it work just like  
the web server?

thanks…
