Mod_rewrite stops passenger about passenger HOT 12 CLOSED

There's not much we can do about that. You should disable mod_rewrite for Passenger
virtual hosts.

How do you then suggest rewriting www.domain.com to domain.com ? Won't that be possible using mod_rails ?

You could setup www.domain.com as a separate virtual host. www.domain.com would send
a HTTP redirect to the same URI under domain.com. This also happens to be better for
your visitors and for Google, because now everybody will be forced to visit
domain.com, i.e. you don't have to worry about some sites linking to domain.com and
others to www.domain.com.

Well. Doesn't seem to be the perfect solution. Should work. More lines of code.

I have been using mod_rewrite to do the 301 redirect.

What is strange about my problem is that the first time I installed Passenger with mod_rewrite enabled,
everything worked fined. But then I restarted the computer and the rails app didn't start. So I had to disable the
mod_rewrite module. Disabled Mod_rewrite for the virtual host wasn't enough. So I can't use mod_rewrite for
other virtual hosts.

Strange, what version of Passenger are you using?

Did 1.0.1 work for you?

Well this is my first install. Didn't try out the other versions. Maybe I will try that out if I give me some time soon.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

I have the same issues. While I could redirect within the rails app, I will have caching enabled so I don't want to
rely on the app - I want this done at the server level.

2.1.0 should fix all mod_rewrite issues.
