Run rails app under subfolder












1














I've been testing my rails app on localhost:3000 and it works just fine. However, when deploying to my host, the root URL is:



http://99.88.77.66/~username



I do not have a domain name at this point.



When I point the browser to the above URL I get the root not found for:



/~username



Alternatively for



http://99.88.77.66/~username/controller/index



I get this route not found:



/~username/controller/index



I'm using Rials 4.2.3 and Ruby 2.0.



How can I make my routes work with this kind of subfolder until I can get an appropriate domain name?
