I'm working on a pair of sites for a client that will be on two
subdomains and hosted on a shared host (Dreamhost). I thought the
multi-site extension would be ideal for that but have not yet figured
out how to do this under Phusion Passenger, the preferred Rails
deployment method at DH.
To allow mod_rewrite, add this to your apache conf:
RailsAllowModRewrite on
Passenger's issue with mod_rewrite is that the default .htaccess
supplied with Rails tries to funnel all requests through one of the
dispatchers, so be sure to remove either the entire .htaccess file
from /public, or remove everything but those parts you know you need
(e.g. static caching, as Jay Levitt mentioned.)
However, we've successfully served multiple subdomains without
resorting to mod_rewrite by defining each subdomain from within the
multisite extension -- main.tld and sub.main.tld, both being served
from a single Radiant instance. Is that your use case? Your question
implies you've got a dev or preview domain that may need additional
http authentication -- that's also possible, but I don't want to
confuse the issue if that's not your scenario.
