Sinatra and Rails - starting a submoduled app - ruby-on-rails

Question

I've been basing an app with a blogging app (octopress) submoduled, on the following guide:
http://www.nickhammond.com/setting-octopress-jekyll-blog-rails-application/
It's a bit out of date but other than having to change around some gems seems to be working fine. The guide suggests having a folder called 'Blog' in your main parent app directory, in which the smaller app lives. Here I was told to change the config.ru file, and rename it to run.rb. The file is as follows:
/blog/run.rb
require 'bundler/setup'
require 'sinatra/base'
# The project root directory
$root = ::File.dirname(__FILE__)
class Blog < Sinatra::Base
get(/.+/) do
send_sinatra_file(request.path) {404}
end
not_found do
send_file(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), 'public', '404.html'), {:status => 404})
end
def send_sinatra_file(path, &missing_file_block)
file_path = File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), 'public', path)
file_path = File.join(file_path, 'index.html') unless file_path =~ /\.[a-z]+$/i
File.exist?(file_path) ? send_file(file_path) : missing_file_block.call
end
end
My config.ru file in my parent app is as follows:
/config.ru
# This file is used by Rack-based servers to start the application.
require ::File.expand_path('../config/environment', __FILE__)
require './blog/run'
# Action Cable requires that all classes are loaded in advance
Rails.application.eager_load!
map '/' do
run Rails.application
end
map '/blog' do
run Blog
end
When I visit localhost:3000/blog, I don't get a route not found error, however receive:
This localhost page can’t be found
No web page was found for the web address: http://localhost:3000/blog
Any help on how to properly set up my config.ru file would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Please try to move
require '/blog/run'
map '/blog' do
run Blog
end
to the routes.rb and see if this helps.
Update: (at the end it said to change your config.ru to this).
require ::File.expand_path('../config/environment', __FILE__)
require './blog/run' # Require the run.rb file that we created earlier which has the Rack setup for the blog
map '/' do # By default we want everything to hit our Rails application
run Rails::Application
end
map '/blog' do # Anything at blog/ and beyond will then hit the blog
run Blog
end
Please give this a try.
