If you are using 2 ports, why dont you just use / as the base-url for  
radiant? Or are you doing this already?

You could try using different names (change ServerName in httpd.conf)  
instead of ports:

http://example.com:3000/myapp -> http://myapp1.example.com
http://example.com:3001/myapp2 -> http://myapp2.example.com

What I meant by my previous email was:

If you have /myapp1 symlinked to rails/app/public then if you access  
http://example.com/myapp1/ you will get the right page, but all the  
links to other child pages will be rendered as eg. http://example.com/ 
child/page instead of http://example.com/myapp1/child/page (this is  
how I understood the problem you were having...?)

If you add a page *in radiant* below (I think I mistakenly said  
'above' in a previous mail) the home-page for your app (and dont  
change the rails-base-path or whatever the configuration option is),  
going from:


/
+-- child/
      +-- page/

to:

/
+-- myapp1/         <-- new page in radiant
      +-- child/
           +-- page/

(remember, this change is made only in radiant) Then links to child  
pages will be rendered as http://example.com/myapp1/child/page

I'm not 100% sure that this will work using apache-fcgi (we are a  
lighty+fcgi shop here), as it might strip off the myapp1/ part of the  
url. Also, when using this method, you have to be careful about  
linking to static content in the public directory, and its not  
completely DRY...

But if you have it working satisfactorily now, don't worry about  
changing it :)
