prefix config parameter doesn't work

[viralshah]

when prefix is set. The app doesn't render correctly with errors for each JS file it tries to include.

It seems that since the url path has the prefix in it, it can't look up static files (js etc) in the public folder.

Confirmed that it does not work. Completely broke. Not sure how to fix it and if it is easy, I guess we can just drop the feature and remove it from the documentation.

I'm using gdash with a configured prefix, running with mod_passenger in apache.

Part of my apache configuration:

    RackBaseURI /gdash
    <Directory "/var/www/gdash">
        AllowOverride all
        Options -MultiViews
    </Directory>

And in my gdash.yaml:

  :prefix: "/gdash"

Working without problems. That's the reason for my pull request #92

Cheers

We should update the configuration to explain this. after that I will close this ticket.

Please mind that /var/www/gdash is a symlink to the gdash/public folder. I think that's important.
