If you have properly pointed Apache to the /public folder inside your Rails app root, then asking for mysite.com/mysite will look first for a file or folder in the /public folder named mysite, and second will look for a route in the routes file that matches that URL. There may be a way to run Rails in a subfolder URL, but I've never used it. You don't seem to be asking that. Please let me know if that isn't clear, or if that is actually what you want.
