Rewrite problem?

I’m not able to access anything in public, everything seems to be going
through the rails router. As a result, I can’t get to stylesheets or
javascript.

I’m not quite clear if this is a .htaccess problem, or a router problem.
I eliminated the “catchall” route, so the last route is

map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id’

My .htaccess file looks like


General Apache options

AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi
#AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI

If you don’t want Rails to look in certain directories,

use the following rewrite rules so that Apache won’t rewrite certain

requests

Example:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/notrails.*

RewriteRule .* - [L]

Redirect all requests not available on the filesystem to Rails

By default the cgi dispatcher is used which is very slow

For better performance replace the dispatcher with the fastcgi one

Example:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]
RewriteEngine On

If your Rails application is accessed via an Alias directive,

then you MUST also set the RewriteBase in this htaccess file.

Example:

Alias /myrailsapp /path/to/myrailsapp/public

RewriteBase /myrailsapp

RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.cgi [QSA,L]

In case Rails experiences terminal errors

Instead of displaying this message you can supply a file here which

will be rendered instead

Example:

ErrorDocument 500 /500.html

ErrorDocument 500 ‘

Application error

Rails application failed to
start properly’

Any help is appreciated.

I had some issues at first that seemed to all go away after I moved the
line…
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]

to be the very last ReWriteRule
