Ruby on Rails mongrel issues

I've installed Rails using the howtos on the forum and everything seems to work (i.e., I can build a rails app and run it).

The problem I am having is that when I try to use mongrel (as opposed to script/server -e production) I am given the following error message:

The page you were looking for doesn't exist.

You may have mistyped the address or the page may have moved.

URL: http://domain.com/ampersand/

I have used the cPanel rewrite form to create my rewrite from domain.com:12001 to domain.com/ampersand

If I create a controller and view named greeting the error (404) is the same when I try http://domain.com/ampersand/greeting/

My production.log file contains the following:

My Routes file is the default:

Code:

ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|
  # The priority is based upon order of creation: first created -> highest priority.

  # Sample of regular route:
  #   map.connect 'products/:id', :controller => 'catalog', :action => 'view'
  # Keep in mind you can assign values other than :controller and :action

  # Sample of named route:
  #   map.purchase 'products/:id/purchase', :controller => 'catalog', :action => 'purchase'
  # This route can be invoked with purchase_url(:id => product.id)

  # Sample resource route (maps HTTP verbs to controller actions automatically):
  #   map.resources :products

  # Sample resource route with options:
  #   map.resources :products, :member => { :short => :get, :toggle => :post }, :collection => { :sold => :get }

  # Sample resource route with sub-resources:
  #   map.resources :products, :has_many => [ :comments, :sales ], :has_one => :seller

  # Sample resource route within a namespace:
  #   map.namespace :admin do |admin|
  #     # Directs /admin/products/* to Admin::ProductsController (app/controllers/admin/products_controller.rb)
  #     admin.resources :products
  #   end

  # You can have the root of your site routed with map.root -- just remember to delete public/index.html.
  # map.root :controller => "welcome"

  # See how all your routes lay out with "rake routes"

  # Install the default routes as the lowest priority.
  map.connect ':controller/:action/:id'
  map.connect ':controller/:action/:id.:format'
end

The mongrel.log file contains:

Code:

** Starting Mongrel listening at 0.0.0.0:12001
** Starting Rails with production environment...
** Rails loaded.
** Loading any Rails specific GemPlugins
** Signals ready.  TERM => stop.  USR2 => restart.  INT => stop (no restart).
** Rails signals registered.  HUP => reload (without restart).  It might not work well.
** Mongrel 1.1.4 available at 0.0.0.0:12001
** Writing PID file to log/mongrel.pid

I'm not sure what I am doing wrong but if I use script/server everything works fine. I assume my problem has something to do with routes but since I am just learning RoR I am unable to make sense of it...

 

Well, it appears that the routes need to be setup as follows:

Code:

  # You can have the root of your site routed with map.root -- just remember to delete public/index.html.
  # This make http://domain.com/ampersand work
  map.connect 'ampersand/:controller/:action/:id', :controller => 'greeting'

  # See how all your routes lay out with "rake routes"

  # Install the default routes as the lowest priority.
  map.connect '/ampersand/:controller/:action/:id'
  map.connect '/ampersand/:controller/:action/:id.:format'

All is working here, but I assume my routes above are primitive and could benefit from review by a seasoned Railer.
