Hi. I have a dedicated server (linux / rails / mongrel) that I'm deploying to. I am able to deploy different applications to different domains/subdomains just fine using the standard rails / mongrel / apache config (as instructed from agile web second edition).
However, the kink is I need to deploy lots of rails applications under the same domain. The reason for this is the applications need to be directly callable from the parent application (at the root domain) via AJAX so they need to be on the same domain. Calling an ajax request on sub-domains fail. I know there are a bunch of javascript hacks, but for now I'd like to just deploy the apps to the same domain (using virtual folders to identify them). Here is what I'm after: http://[domain] -> Rails Parent App (mongrel ports 8000-8001) http://[domain]/app1/ -> Rails Child App 1 (mongrel ports 8010-8011) http://[domain]/app2/ -> Rails Child App 2 (mongrel ports 8020-8021) etc... The mongrel instances are set up fine for all my apps. I just need to fix up the mod_rewrite in order to forward the requests based on folder name to different mongrel instances. I don't mind putting the child app names and paths statically into the config for now. What I have tried so far is using a rewrite rule that picks the http://[domain]/app1/[rails path] and forwards it to the mongrel cluster defined by app1_cluster. RewriteRule ^/(.*)/app1/(.*)$ balancer://app1_cluster%{REQUEST_URI} [P,QSA,L] Needless to say, it doesn't work. I don't think the RewriteRule is being hit because I cant get the /app1/ requests to hit the right mongrel cluster. All I get is 404s. The parent rails app works fine at the root of the domain. I'm guessing my RewriteRule is probably way off. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. -Jacques [EMAIL PROTECTED] Here is my full apache virtual server config file.
