.htaccess and Rails direction

Hi

I’m having a bit of a battle with NativeSpace who are hosting my rails
app.

Having had to downgrade from Rails 3.0.0.rc to 2.3.8 and then finding
that I was having major issues with that version and Mongrel 1.1.15
I’ve had to go back down to 2.3.5!!!

Now I have the following in my .htaccess:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^worldtripper.co.uk$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.worldtripper.co.uk$
RewriteRule ^/?$ “http://enigmahostingcompany.co.uk:
12004/” [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^worldtripper.co.uk$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.worldtripper.co.uk$
RewriteRule ^/?$ “http://127.0.0.1:12004%
{REQUEST_URI}” [P,QSA,L]

Which is not working … and apparently it’s “my problem” to resolve.

When I type www.worldtripper.co.uk … I’d like it to stay that way
and the “transparent redirect” to be just that … transparent. But
it’s not … it’s changing to enigmahostingcompany.co.uk:12005/ which
is not ideal.

Does any one have any ideas on how I can get this to work …

Or is it a problem with Rails?

I’ve been going at this for days … and I’m not getting far! But it’s
sooooo close … it’s frustrating!

Thanks in advance
