I just installed the mental branch on textdrive. It seems to run  
pretty well. The Assets Manager I wrote has a few problems, because  
it is based on acts\_as\_attachment, which uses RMagick. I had to shut  
that off, as it would kill Radiant due to memory usage. There are a  
few fixes for that, I have to look and see what would be best. I am  
leaning toward something with MiniMagick, it does more than enough  
and might be a better solution. I have something running on  
Textdrive with MiniMagick without TOO many problems…

Bodhi,

Thanks for your reply. I’m a bit confused with what you suggest. I’ve  
already changed the root url to myapp1 but that doesn’t correct the  
links.

Consider I have a symbolic link from /home/myapp1/public to  
/public\_html/myapp1.

That way, when I go to [DOMAIN FOR SALE](http://www.mydomain.org/myapp1) I’m going into the  
public/dispatch.fcgi of my app, which works, but doesn’t correct the  
links, because they are still rendered as /link not /myapp1/link.

So, if I do what you suggest, it simply moves [www.domain.org/myapp1](http://www.domain.org/myapp1) to  
[www.domain.org/myapp1/myapp1](http://www.domain.org/myapp1/myapp1). And still, it doesn’t correct the links.

My question is, if I use myaap1 as the slug for the root page as you  
suggest, what else do I need to do? Do I have to set that up in the  
apache  
config?

I’ll paste here what Dave T. suggests so you can have a clearer idea  
of what I have.

"If you don’t like dedicating an entire virtual host, perhaps because  
you  
want the Rails application to be part of a larger site, that’s possible  
too. All you need to do is make a symbolic link to your public directory  
from wherever you want the application to live.

Imagine that you have community site that needs a forum and you fancy  
the  
URL [http://www.example.com/community/forum](http://www.example.com/community/forum), which is just a symbolic  
link  
to the application directory /var/application/railsforum/public. Voila!

The symbolic link approach will automatically be picked up by Rails and  
all the links created by the view helpers, such as image\_tar og link\_to,  
will be rewritten to fit under the proper path."

But it really doesn’t correct anything!

Bodhi,

What I’ve finally done is the following.

In my apache httpd.conf

I’ve set

Listen 3000  
Listen 3001

And I’ve created virtual hosts for each of my radiant sites using those  
ports.

\<VirtualHost \*:3000\>  
ServerName myserver  
DocumentRoot /pathtomyapp/myapp1/public/  
\<Directory /pathtomyapp/myapp1/public/\>  
Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks  
AllowOverride all  
Allow from all  
Order allow,deny

\<VirtualHost \*:3001\>  
ServerName myserver  
DocumentRoot /pathtomyapp/myapp2/public/  
\<Directory /pathtomyapp/myapp2/public/\>  
Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks  
AllowOverride all  
Allow from all  
Order allow,deny

And this at the bottom for fcgi

 AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi IPCCommTimeout 40 IPCConnectTimeout 10 DefaultInitEnv RAILS\_ENV production SocketPath /tmp/fcgidsock

All my site’s images go into their public/images directory to maintain  
the  
relative urls in my pages.

This is the best I can do for now. Both sites run from their own  
directory  
on different ports and I don’t have to fiddle with radiant.

Please tell me what you think.

Jose.

Jose, I’ve replied to both your emails here…

If you are using 2 ports, why dont you just use / as the base-url for  
radiant? Or are you doing this already?

You could try using different names (change ServerName in httpd.conf)  
instead of ports:

[http://example.com:3000/myapp](http://example.com:3000/myapp) → [http://myapp1.example.com](http://myapp1.example.com)  
[http://example.com:3001/myapp2](http://example.com:3001/myapp2) → [http://myapp2.example.com](http://myapp2.example.com)

What I meant by my previous email was:

If you have /myapp1 symlinked to rails/app/public then if you access  
[http://example.com/myapp1/](http://example.com/myapp1/) you will get the right page, but all the  
links to other child pages will be rendered as eg. [http://example.com/](http://example.com/)  
child/page instead of [http://example.com/myapp1/child/page](http://example.com/myapp1/child/page) (this is  
how I understood the problem you were having…?)

If you add a page _in radiant_ below (I think I mistakenly said  
‘above’ in a previous mail) the home-page for your app (and dont  
change the rails-base-path or whatever the configuration option is),  
going from:

/  
±- child/  
±- page/

to:

/  
±- myapp1/ ← new page in radiant  
±- child/  
±- page/

(remember, this change is made only in radiant) Then links to child  
pages will be rendered as [http://example.com/myapp1/child/page](http://example.com/myapp1/child/page)

I’m not 100% sure that this will work using apache-fcgi (we are a  
lighty+fcgi shop here), as it might strip off the myapp1/ part of the  
url. Also, when using this method, you have to be careful about  
linking to static content in the public directory, and its not  
completely DRY…

But if you have it working satisfactorily now, don’t worry about  
changing it 🙂

Bodhi,

You asked

I’m using / as the base url already.

This would be good. But since we haven’t pointed our domain to our  
hosting  
plan yet, I think it’s not possible.

Thats exactly the problem I was having.

> to:
> 
> /  
> ±- myapp1/ ← new page in radiant  
> ±- child/  
> ±- page/

Oooh ok, it didn’t work for me before because I was just changing my  
home  
slug from / to /subdir/

Now I see what you meant. But I’ve already created a bunch of pages  
under  
one main section of the site and using your method now would mean  
starting  
over again and I can’t afford it. However, I’ll have it in mind : )

> I’m not 100% sure that this will work using apache-fcgi (we are a

I’ve tried to set up lighthttpd but I get the following error on make

Hey Loren-

Thanks for this info, I was wondering if you could give more  
blow-by-blow on how you did it? Or even put up a wiki page?

This is all I found:  
[http://dev.radiantcms.org/radiant/wiki/RPS2](http://dev.radiantcms.org/radiant/wiki/RPS2)  
and would love to have more to go on.

Thanks-  
Michael

I want to jump on this but I’m unable to get my extensions to work.  
I’m a radiant noob but have been doing rails for a while now.

Is there some how-to-get-mental info out there? I looked through the  
list but didn’t see it.

What I have done is:

1. Checked out the mental branch
2. Ran ruby script/generate extension
3. Ran the 12 migrations
4. Created my album table.
5. Dumped my album controller/model/views in the appropriate extension  
dirs
6. Uncommented the activate/deactive tabs, uncommented the routes in  
the album\_extension.rb
7. See the Album tab, when I click it I get: uninitialized constant  
Admin::AssetController

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated. I have a few  
projects I want to use Radiant on so I anticipate using it quite a bit  
in the near future.

Thanks-  
Michael

We are using Radiant for our January 1 website launch and I intend to  
write a “How To” very soon for the weblog that will demonstrate  
converting a behavior over to the extensions system.

Hi,

I’m just starting out with Radiant and plan to launch a Radiant based  
site in  
January. I’m starting to gather that I should be using extensions and  
the  
mental branch rather than writing behaviors for functionality the site  
will  
need. Any thoughts?

No that was just the default route that was generated:  
map.connect ‘admin/album/:action’, :controller =\> ‘admin/asset’

Sorry, I was assuming it generated that route for a reason.

I changed it to:  
map.connect ‘admin/album/:action’, :controller =\> ‘albums’

And I get a page rendered however no content is showing on it.

Todd,

Tentatively, yes. The extensions API is in great flux right now, as  
John  
and the core team hammer it out. However, it is mostly functional and  
you  
can start using it today. However, I don’t see that it will be too much  
trouble if you create your behaviors now, and then migrate them over to  
Page  
types later on when the API is solidified.

Fellow Radiant-nites,  
I’m trying to set a Radiant powered website on eApps and I’m running  
into the same problem Jose was running into (see post below). Mainly  
that my Radiant site is under a virtualhost for which I don’t seem to  
have much control and my RoR apps are in subdirectories.  
This is how my website is configured in eApps (from the web control  
panel):

Website: [integrallis.virtual.vps-host.net](http://integrallis.virtual.vps-host.net)  
Type: Name-based  
Document Root: /home/webadmin/integrallis.virtual.vps-host.net/html  
Scripts: /home/webadmin/integrallis.virtual.vps-host.net/cgi-bin/

As you can see the Document Root is the /html directory under my virtual  
host

I have a few Rails apps under the /html directory, one of them being  
Radiant.

/html  
±-+

- integrallis \<== radiant install
- timetracker
- courses

My site structure looks like:

Root ← Language Redirect  
±- en (english home - js redirect to home below)  
±- home  
±- about  
±- es (spanish home - js redirect to home below)  
±- home  
±- about

On my machine running under Locomotive things work like a charm.  
I have no problem running Radiant at the root but I just don’t seem to  
be able to configure things to work that way. Just like Jose mentioned  
in his post my Radiant Admin interface works just fine, the problem is  
with all of the links inside of my Radiant website. They’re all absolute  
with respect to the ServerRoot e.g.  
[http://integrallis.virtual.vps-host.net](http://integrallis.virtual.vps-host.net)

For example my home page under en is at:

[http://integrallis.virtual.vps-host.net/integrallis/public/en/home](http://integrallis.virtual.vps-host.net/integrallis/public/en/home)

yet all the links in those pages are relative to the DocRoot (and hence  
don’t work)

The first _stupid_ thing that I tried was to create a snippet called  
baseurl and set it to /integrallis/public/ so that I could prepend that  
to my urls. By adding that \<r:snippet name=“baseurl” /\> I naively  
thought, hey I can just do that in my layout and possibly in some of my  
other snippets and I should be good to go. Well, that at least worked to  
get the CSS and JS files loaded correctly in the main layout but things  
quickly got ugly when I realized that I couldn’t pass that value to  
other radius tags. So I quickly abandoned that route.

Before I venture any further I was wondering what the definitive answer  
is as to how to run Radiant is a subdirectory. I wouldn’t mind making my  
DocRoot point to

/home/webadmin/integrallis.virtual.vps-host.net/html/integrallis/public

As long as I can still run the other apps in a subdir (which they seem  
to have no problem). But I can even find where to do that in this  
webadmin console. I see the value for the DocRoot but it doesn’t look  
like you can change it. But I really need the ability to run multiple  
Rails apps (which I’m already doing successfully). I have a few apps for  
timetracking, course catalogue, etc.

Thanks,  
Brian

Hi,

I’m not sure if I understand the issue entirely, but I’m running a few  
sites at  
eApps. In eApps control panel, website settings, custom settings tab,  
how  
about something like this:

DocumentRoot /home/webadmin/integrallis.virtual.vps-host.net/html/public  
Alias /timetracker  
/home/webadmin/integrallis.virtual.vps-host.net/html/timetracker

or in my case, I went like this, to try to keep things organized:

DocumentRoot  
/home/webadmin/integrallis.virtual.vps-host.net/html/radiant/public  
Alias  
/timetracker/home/webadmin/integrallis.virtual.vps-host.net/html/timetracker

Again, I’m not sure if I understand your scope entirely, but the above  
examples  
are how I configured a site at eApps to use Radiant off the root and a  
PHP  
based app from an alias.

Maybe/Hopefully this will help you

Todd,  
Another quick question? How do you get to the Radiant Admin pages with  
this setup? Since [http://integrallis.virtual.vps-host.net/admin/](http://integrallis.virtual.vps-host.net/admin/) brings  
me to the Tomcat admin page? and anything like  
[http://integrallis.virtual.vps-host.net/integrallis/admin](http://integrallis.virtual.vps-host.net/integrallis/admin) results in  
Radiant showing me the FileNotFound page.

Thanks again,  
Brian

Todd,  
Thanks a million! It’s obvious to me now, must be the side-effect of  
this sleep deprivation experiment I’m conducting on myself ;-). That did  
it! Man I feel like kicking myself in the rear. Well, if we ever cross  
paths at a Ruby conf beers are on me.  
I’ve just posted about my eApps configuration too. I was wondering if  
our DB setups are also the same?

Thanks again,

Todd,  
The weird thing is that the tomcat root is  
[http://integrallis.virtual.vps-host.net:8080/](http://integrallis.virtual.vps-host.net:8080/) so the admin should be  
[http://integrallis.virtual.vps-host.net:8080/admin](http://integrallis.virtual.vps-host.net:8080/admin) but somehow the  
server is also redirecting [http://integrallis.virtual.vps-host.net/admin](http://integrallis.virtual.vps-host.net/admin)  
to the tomcat admin. I’ll try to disable it or change it. Tomcat I’m  
familiar with so it should be a quicker fix on my side. I’ll post the  
solution soon.

Brian

Brian,

I know what you mean - they offer a plan with Ruby and Tomcat combined.

How about asking eApps support to change the Tomcat /admin to  
/tomcatadmin? or  
disabling Tomcat admin?

Or…

And I can’t verify if this will work or not-

Change all references of “admin/” in the config/routes.rb file to  
something  
like  
“radiantadmin/”
