Making Symbolic Linked Rails Apps Work When Folder Accessed With No Trailing Slash

        Snippets is at bigbold.com/snippets/ but bigbold.com/snippets always failed with "Bad Request". bigbold.com/snippets always seemed to rewrite into 'snippets.html' for some reason, so this change to .htaccess cures it:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !snippets\.html
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]
RewriteRule snippets\.html /snippets/ [R]


Replace snippets with the name of your own folder, obviously.

I tried your solution but didn't have any luck on my host (jumba.com.au).. after a lot of banging my head against the wall, I came up with this solution: RewriteRule ^.*myapp$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/myapp/ [R=301,L] where 'myapp' is the name of the application. It's now working at last :-) Cheers, James
