Dear experts,

I am in the process of switching servers for my application.

Before the move everything was working properly.

After the move

\<%= stylesheet\_link\_tag ‘/stylesheets/styles.css’ %\>

generates

Before the move it was generating the right code:

What could be causing this issue? Why is the extra “/” being added  
after the move? I have been searching everywhere for an answer but to  
no avail. Any ideas are appreciated.

Thanks  
Frank

I would also like to point out that this problem of extra slash being  
added is happening to many function calls including to  
javascript\_include\_tag calls:

\<%= javascript\_include\_tag “controls” %\>

which produces

and

link\_to\_remote calls:

which produces

```
      <a href="#" onclick="new Ajax.Updater('loginform', 

```

‘//member/signup’, {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true,  
onComplete:function(request){Element.toggle($(‘loading’ ))},  
onLoading:function(request){Element.toggle($(‘loading’ ))}}); return  
false;"\>Sign up

Can anyone please show me light? I am very confused as to why the  
server change will trigger something like this.

I am using Ruby 1.8.4 and the stable version of rails.,

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I might be wrong, but it may be worth checking production.rb for  
asset\_host  
variable

Emin,  
Thank you for your reply.

I tried setting the asset\_host variable but the problem persists and  
all AJAX calls are adding an extra slash to the URLs.

I haven’t changed anything in the code since migrating to the new  
server.

I appreciate all the assistance very much.

Frank
