HI guys, I’m starting with RoR and I figured I’d jump on the facebook  
bandwagon and make a little application… my problem is when using  
link\_to inside my application I get wrong paths… Let’s say my  
application url is [Facebook](http://apps.facebook.com/app/) and my application is  
hosted at [http://someserver.com/main/](http://someserver.com/main/) (main being my controller). The  
problem is that when I use scaffold my links have the wrong path. For  
example, \<%= link\_to ‘Edit’, :action =\> ‘edit’, :id =\> torrent %\> give  
me a link to [http://apps.facebook.com/main/edit/1](http://apps.facebook.com/main/edit/1) and not to  
[http://apps.facebook.com/app/main/edit/1](http://apps.facebook.com/app/main/edit/1). how can I change this?
