After redirecting users in a Rails app, for some reason the slash after the
domain is missing. Generated URLs are invalid and I'm forced to manually correct them. The problem only occurs on a subdomain. On a different primary
domain (same server), everything works ok.
For example, after logging out, the site is directing to https://www.
sub.
domain.comlogin/ rather than https://www.
sub.
domain.com/login
I suspect the issue has something to do with the vhost setup, but I'm not sure. Here are the broken and working vhosts:
BROKEN SUBDOMAIN
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.
sub.
domain.com
ServerAlias
sub.
domain.com
Redirect permanent / https://www.
sub.
domain.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerAdmin

ServerName www.

Please let me know if there's anything else I could provide that would help determine what's wrong here.
UPDATE
tried adding a trailing slash to the redirect command, but still no luck.
