Manual and support won’t help him here, because he is obviously on a wrong track. So, Vio. We had a similar problem a while ago. The problem is that you application is mapped at “/” on your local webserver (localhost:3000). So, the proxypass has to read: # ====== proxypass /redmine [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) proxypassreverse /redmine [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) This however gives you another problem: redmine will begin to generate URLs that are mapped to “/”. So links won’t work. You have to tell redmine what it’s relative url root is: # ====== ActionController::AbstractRequest.relative\_url\_root = “/redmine” Put this in one of the environment files after the frameworks are loaded.

This is the Ruby T. mailing list, not a mailing list for redmine ([http://www.redmine.org/](http://www.redmine.org/)), nor the Rails mailing list ([http://www.ruby-forum.com/forum/3](http://www.ruby-forum.com/forum/3)). Asking for configuration details of an unspecified webserver (Mongrel cluster? Litespeed? mod\_rails? WEBrick?) is better done at the locations that are actually concerned with that. The chances of finding somebody who can actually help increases extremely. Especially if the crystal ball is cloudy. * * * Phillip G.

What’s next: “How to use a search engine”? “Clicking on links for the search-engine impaired”? “Can u giv me teh codez for h3ll0 wurld!1111”? A minimal level of research can be, and should be, expected. And somehow I suspect that routing issues for a webserver or Rails app or whatever aren’t new problems, either. If nothing shows up, or nothing really matches the problem, then, by all means, ask for help. * * * Phillip G.

My point was: If you think that the question is a null statement, don’t add another null statement - at least try to improve the value of the thread. Maybe there is someone else that can make sense of it. Regards, Florian G.
