I have read Ezra's book and the O'Reilly shortcuts and various other
resources on the Net and most assume you have one app which you deploy
to shared host, VPS or dedicated host.
Our situation is that we have an ASP app which will be by paid up
subscription and so the same app will be used by multiple customers
with their own private db. In addition within the rails tree there is
a folder for customer uploads and assets.
My client seems to be set on using a dedicated server with shared host
architecture rather than recommended (Ezra's) VPS slices. I'd like to
use nginx, mognrel_cluster. The reason why my client is set on shared
hosting configuration over VPS is that the other contractor on the
project is convinced that long term maintenance of various open
source libraries (we need a dozen or more such as wv, enscript,
antiword, pdf2html etc) on each slice negates the benefit of VPS.
I am looking at nginx cookbook section on the wiki and I see that they
have for shared hosting:
http {
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.domain1.com;
access_log logs/domain1.access.log main;
location / {
index index.html;
root /var/www/domain1.com/htdocs;
}
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.domain2.com;
access_log logs/domain2.access.log main;
location / {
index index.html;
root /var/www/domain2.com/htdocs;
}
}
}
However when I see the config file for nginx/mongrel I see that the
directive:
upstream mongrel {
server 127.0.0.1:8000;
server 127.0.0.1:8001;
}
goes in the http section and not the server section. So the question I
have is, how do I setup mutliple customers on the same box with
private mySQL databases?
This is NOT a very high volume site. There may be 1-2 dozen customers
on the box each with 1-40 users. I would very much appreciate any
suggestions, pointers and arguments for/against shared host/VPS
configurations which I can present to my client. THe main argument
against VPS seems to be the overhead of creating the VPSs and
installation/maintenance of libraries. BTW we will be deploying on
Debian Etch.
Thank you very much for your time.
