I’m deploying RoR application on Hostgator (shared hosting).  
I want my application address to be [www.domain.com/foo/bar/](http://www.domain.com/foo/bar/)  
Foo is the folder and bar is the symlink that points to the public  
folder of my rails application located in my home folder.  
[www.domain.com/foo/bar](http://www.domain.com/foo/bar) gives me index.html page, but I can’t hit any  
controllers until I set :path\_prefix =\> ‘foo’ for all routes. Is there  
any better way to do it (setting the path\_prefix for all routes at once,  
or maybe I should change my .htaccess file)

My .htaccess is like this:
