Re: Update for thread: Multiple rails apps with Mongrel

Josh,

You caught me, I forgot to document one step that I did... since my document root for my domain is:

/var/www/html/

For each of the apps, I had to make a symlink from that apps public directory to my document root directory... and then the /images and /stylesheets loaded as I needed them to, and works as you would expect it to when you deploy changes to current...

--> ln -s /var/www/rails/app1/current/public /var/www/html/app1

I'll update my blog post now! Thanks for catching it.

Tony

Thanks to all involved with Mongrel.

Hi Tony,

This appears to clear up a lot of issues I have regarding how to setup a

box with the configuration below.  Thanks.  That being said, I have a

question.

About my deployment:

Debian, Apache 2.2, Mongrel Cluster 0.2.1 (3 mongrels per app), mongrel

1.0.1.  At this time, I have a test app lives in /var/www/rails/app1

I am able to see the app1 configuring mongrel with the --prefix options

following your instructions.  However, I can not see the /images

directories since the code has references to /images/foo.png

I suspect the issue is with Apache.  In the apache config I have an

/images alias:

Alias /images  /var/www/rails/app1/current/public/images

I also have a /stylesheets alias which appears to be working.

There was talk in the list:

http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/mongrel-users/2006-September/001534.html

this does not seem right given the fact I am using mongrel_cluster.

I could easily change the links, and image references but that seems

kludgy.  My goal here is to not break the 'mongrel_rails start'

development feature from the local copy and have the deployment

enviroment (Apache) handle the site specific stuff.

I am confused between using ProxyPass or a rewrite rule given this

deployment. Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

Thanks everyone!

Hi,

I found another way to throw multiple rails apps under a single  

domain like:

http://www.domain.com/app1

http://www.domain.com/app2
