How can I run my Rails application in a non-root context?

Question

I'm working in a non-privileged environment, and my Rails application's root url is http://foo.com/bar.

What is the simplest way to tell Rails that, for example, my stylesheets are in /bar/stylesheets, not /stylesheets, and make model_url point to /bar/model/baz instead of /model/baz?

Answer 1

Regardless of the way you are running the application to that specific path (be it script/server --path=/sub-uri or have deployed passenger to a directory) you don't need to change the code as the url helpers will automatically adjust their path to the environment.
