I am having the following problem, I am deploying an ruby application on godaddy , i know they are not the best. However i managed to make my application run. My problem is that i need to rewrite the root directory because i have a symbolic link in my root folder. e.g [mysite.com/link/](http://mysite.com/link/) … the internal links in my site all point to the root for example … [mysite.com/account/register](http://mysite.com/account/register) … i get a 400 not found. i need to rewrite it as [mysite.com/link/account/register](http://mysite.com/link/account/register) … i have been struggling a lot of time … plzzz help ---
