Nginx + Rails, Default url not working

Question

I supposedly have my default url set as

example.com/asd/ ---> my root_path

and everything loads correctly. However, everytime I click a

'<%= link_to 'something', something_path %>'

I'm directed to

example.com/something ---> without the /asd.

Is this a problem with my nginx configurations or rails configuration? What should I do to solve it?

--Extra-- If I enter to example.com/asd/something, everything loads fine too.

I think the problem is with Rails not with Nginx. Maybe you're missing a configuration that is not appending the "/asd" (It's been a long time since I used RoR so I don't remember exactly)

A quick fix could be to change _PATH for _URL (for example about_path would change to about_url) and adding this to the ApplicationsController

def default_url_options
   if Rails.env.production?
     {:host => "www.prettyPage.com/asd"}
   else  
     {}
  end
end

_PATH returns the relative path meanwhile _URL returns the absolute path.

For example for "www.page.com/prettyPics" the _PATH would be "/prettyPics" and the whole url would be the _URL. This could help a little bit http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html (Part 2.3)
