I have been deploying my webapp with <app-name>.war in my case tao.war.
Now I need to deploy it in the tomcat ROOT.
So I was renaming tao.war in ROOT.war. Everything seemed to work but when I was editing a domain class respective update was done in the DB but I got forwarded to
localhost:8080/tao/person/show/1
where I was expecting
localhost:8080/person/show/1
without the app-name.
Where does the app-name in the URL come from? Where am I missing something.
Try this:
grails.app.context = '/'
in Config.groovy.
Enjoy.

I'm relatively new to Rails as well as using PassengerPhusion. I am running an Ubuntu server on Azure, and have the demo app that Passenger provides working fine. I've even changed the text on the homepage.
My question is this:
In my directory, the file directory's name for the app is passenger-ruby-rails-demo and while I am experimenting, i am changing the name of the directory to something like passenger-ruby-rails-demo-test and it returns an error message when viewing fleetpro.cloudapp.net.
I've tried looking through files trying to figure out how this is routed but haven't had any luck. Is there a file within the Rails installation that is telling Passenger to be inside the specific passenger-ruby-rails-demo directory? Pretty newbish question, but it is really bothering me!
I'm not sure about how the naming convention works in regards to the root directory name of your app "passenger-ruby-rails-demo", but I believe the name of that directory is important to running your Rails app, and might have to do something with the name of the module in your config/application.rb file which is named after your Rails app.
There is a solution though: use gem rename.
Add gem rename to your Gemfile and run bundle install.
Then in your app's root directory, run this:
rails g rename:app_to New-Name
This will basically "clone" the app with your new name. You may have to check to make sure all your config files are present afterwards, but from my experience using it, it was a quick breeze. You will most definitely have to push the new renamed app back to git or Azure.
EDIT
As an example I renamed a Rails app to show what you could expect from the output after running the command:
The Rails app's name isn't the problem, it's the PassengerAppRoot switch you'll be using:
PassengerAppRoot /path/to/your/app
Rails doesn't actually care which folder it's put into, so renaming Rails won't fix your problem.
Renaming Rails only changes the internal class references within your application (things like Rails.application.name which have very subtle implications for your app).
In your Azure server, you'll need to locate either your .htaccess / httpd.conf / nginx.conf file, and change the PassengerAppRoot to your new path. This should resolve the issue.
I'm new to RoR.
I was able to install Rails and host it in Webrick (Sample App with "Welcome" controller) in my windows.
Now i have a Unix Weblogic Server along with a dedicated domian.
After exporting the .WAR file using Warbler, i accessed the Oracle Admin Console from where i deployed the .WAR file in the dedicated domain. I did all this for the Sample app with only the Welcome controller in it.
But even after deploying the WAR file, on accessing the Domain along with the Port Number (:9002) i ended up with 404 file not found error On looking at the server logs,there wasn't any records relating to any error. The Application must have been deployed properly. I assume that i must have missed out on some basic configurations in the routes.rb or similar files before deploying. Can anyone Guess what are all the possibilities and if possible can anyone help me by pointing to any tuts that cover the Steps to be carried out for configuration before deployment. do i need to install both JRuby and Rails inside the server before depolyment?
I can't really guess with Eror 404 only.
You can try mapping your rails app rack config to a different base_uri.
All you need to do is wrap the existing 'run' command in a map block
try doing this in your rails 'config.ru' file:
map '/mydepartment' do
run Myapp::Application
end
Now when you 'rails server' the app should be at localhost:3000/mydepartment .
Not sure if this will give you the desired outcome, but worth a try.
One more thing you also add this to your config/environments/production.rb and config/environments/development.rb (if on production mode):
config.action_controller.asset_path = proc { |path| "/abc#{path}" }
otherwise when you call your helpers such as stylesheet_link_tag in your views, they will generate links without the "/abc".
Also, find some guides you may refer for good support.

Let me know if it is not resolved.
I was trying to simply make a .war file and put it into Tomcat's webapps directory. Simple, right? :)
What is puzzling me is that the directory structure of a JRuby app has the index.html file somewhere far in the application structure and Tomcat just can not find it by default.
Here is what I get when I point my url to the Tomcat install of the application:
http://128.48.204.195:8080/blog/index.html
How should I structure the build/deploy of a JRuby application so that it works on Tomcat when unwrapped out of a .war file?
first try http://128.48.204.195/blog
that will serve the root route (if defined in config/routes.rb) or a error saying nor route.
If you see this: http://krokinet.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/rails-welcome1.png
there is a default index.html file in /public/index.html
that file is generated with the app and you should remove it once your done an initial 'smoke test' (running your newly generated app the first time).
More information on the root route here: http://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html#using-root
in routes.rb, I set a controller and a action as root, it works very well when I visit root in development mode.
now , I try to use nginx to hook rails app together, seemed nginx.conf need rails public folder which is not the root path set in the routes.rb.
index under public folder only can be a static html, how could I hook nginx with rails action as root?
Thanks for your answer!
nginx is only a webserver - have you installed something like Passenger as your app server to run your application in? It's perfectly normal to map the webserver to your public folder but then the application server will process the request and serve back your app for you
Let's say I have the following entry in my grails URLMappings.groovy:
"/actionName/param1"(controller:'myController', action:'myAction')
When I call an URL where param1 includes + as a special character, the URL is encoded correctly to /actionName/my%2Bparam for example, both in my local and in my server environment.
In my local environment - also using "prod" as the environment parameter - this is correctly resolved to my+param in the controller. However in my "real" production environment (Amazon Web Service EC2 instance), the URL is resolved to "my param" which is wrong.
I have no idea what the reason for this could be. Both environments use TomCat, and as stated above I'm even using the prod environment settings in my local environment so it can't be a differing configuration between development and production.
Does anybody have an idea where I could dig deeper to identify the problem?
Is the EC2 instance running Apache in front of Tomcat? I've had issues before with params being decoded twice, once by Apache and then again by Tomcat. From memory, I think I adjusted the configuration of the ProxyPass directive in Apache to correct it.
EDIT:
I found the following instructions I'd left with the source code for my app :)
Apache httpd.conf additions
AllowEncodedSlashes On
ProxyTimeout 3600
We also upgraded apache 2.2.12+ to fix HEAD > GET rewrite bug using a startup shell script.
I also added 'nocanon' option to ProxyPass directive to stop auto decoding by mod_proxy in /etc/httpd/conf.d/cluster.conf
I think I had to do this on the server as you can't modify this using the GUI. I also have a note that says it causes they query string to be encoded. Perhaps I had to add an extra decode in my app to handle this (sorry can't remember for sure!)
Tomcat startup parameters
-Dorg.apache.tomcat.util.buf.UDecoder.ALLOW_ENCODED_SLASH=true
-Dorg.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.ALLOW_BACKSLASH=true
I think this was to get tomcat to handle slashes correctly

That's a known bug that has been introduced in Groovy 1.3.4 or few build versions before. It has been fixed in current version 1.3.5.
this is correctly resolved to my+param
in the controller
No, the expected resolution is "my param" (with a space).
As that works at the Amazon host, you'd upgrade Grails to 1.3.5, locally.
