Hi Chris -

I run MediaWiki (php) alongside my rails app just fine.  They're not
integrated - i.e. they don't share the db or session.  The way I have it
setup is using some routing conditions on Apache.  I have a "standard"
Apache+Mongrel conf file with this part added in for the php site:

   RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} \.php
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1 [QSA,L]
   RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.php -f
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1/index.php [QSA,L]


Basically those rules kick into place before the Rails requests get sent to
mongrel.

So - it is possible to run them along side each other.

Regards,

Dave
