I use this configuration on my development machine when I need mod_rewrite; it’s not meant for production:

   1  <VirtualHost *:80>
   2  ServerName dev.xxx.com
   3  
   4  # Enable URL rewriting
   5  RewriteEngine On
   6  
   7  # Rewrite index to check for static pages
   8  RewriteRule ^/$ /index.html [QSA]
   9  
  10  # Rewrite to check for Rails cached page
  11  RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]
  12  
  13  # Redirect all non-static requests to cluster
  14  RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  15  RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ balancer://mongrel_cluster%{REQUEST_URI} [P,QSA,L]
  16  
  17  DocumentRoot  "/Users/christian/Documents/Projects/xxx/public"
  18  <Directory "/Users/christian/Documents/Projects/xxx/public">
  19       Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
  20

Run the following in an irb console to generate a 56-bit DES encrypted password:

   1  "password".crypt("salt")

The password can be used in an Apache or Nginx htpasswd file to enable basic authentication.

The generated password can also be used in other Unix password files.

Set this in environment.rb:

   1  ActionController::AbstractRequest.relative_url_root = "/appname/"
   2  ActionController::CgiRequest.relative_url_root = "/appname/"
