Clean URLs with Camping and Apache

Max Cantor

1/24/2007 8:00:00 AM

I've set Camping up to run with FastCGI, MySQL and Apache. I've set
some RewriteRule directives in an .htaccess file to enable clean URLs
with the app, that is:

/dev/my_app/foo/0

becomes...

/dev/my_app/dispatch.fcgi?foo/0

However, as soon as this URL hits Camping, the clean URLs stop because
Camping generates all of its links using the
/dev/my_app/dispatch.fcgi?foo/0 approach instead of /dev/my_app/foo/0.
Is there a good way to coax this behavior out of Camping?

Thanks,

Max

Camping doesn't work like Rails, so you shouldn't have to use
RewriteRule to force the URLs.

AddHandler fastcgi-script fcgi
ScriptAlias / /usr/local/www/data/dispatch.fcgi/

If you're mounting on a subdirectory `my_app`:

ScriptAlias /my_app /usr/local/www/data/dispatch.fcgi/

The dispatch.rb is like:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'rubygems'
require 'camping/fastcgi'
require 'my_app'
Camping::Models::Base.establish_connection :adapter => 'sqlite3',
:database => "/tmp/camping.db"
Camping::FastCGI.start(MyApp)

Thanks _why! I got it working. However... this is all well and good
if we have access to the server/v-host config, but what if we're on a
shared host and only have .htaccess overrides (albeit very thorough
ones)? If there is a /cgi-bin already defined, then some symlink
voodoo could work, but what if there's no ScriptAlias directive
whatsoever?

Thanks again.
