No, its not local network. In local network i can setup with any domain name in hosts file and i can access the rails app with that domain name in my browser. Problem is, i have server ip address with global access. But i don't have domain name for that server. If I mention 121.0.0.1 mysite.com <http://mysite.com> in my server hosts file, i know i cant access mysite.com <http://mysite.com> in my local browser.
On your server system and on your client (local) system (all assuming you cannot set it up in dns) you need to have the server associated with the ip. On the server it is as simple as putting '127.0.0.1 localhost mysite' in the /etc/hosts file and on the client (local) system you would put '121.0.0.1 mysite' in the /etc/hosts file (this assumes that 121.0.0.1 is the address of the server). In your virtual host file you would list the server name as mysite. You are making this all too complex.

You do not need to mess with domains etc. if you have the static ip and hostname information available.

I am trying to setup like ServerName server_ip_address/mysite instead of ServerName mysite.com/mysite <http://mysite.com/mysite> I think we can only give mysite.com <http://mysite.com>. mysite.com/mysite <http://mysite.com/mysite> will not point rails application.

    It sounds like you are setting this up for localhost viewing, or
    on a local network. My answers are somewhat specific to this,
    particularly the part about your hosts file.

    ServerName takes a hostname, not an IP address or path. Try
    mysite.com <http://mysite.com> instead.

    If your Rails app is called "Projects", then this line looks correct.

    >   RailsEnv development
    >   <Directory /path/to/projects/public>

    Ditto, this path should match the DocumentRoot line.

    If you had set up the server to respond to mysite.com
    <http://mysite.com>, and the server was running, then you would
    point your browser to mysite.com/ <http://mysite.com/> and see
    whatever you had configured your root path to be.

    >
    > // hosts file
    > xxx.xxx.xx.x   xxx.xxx.xx.x/mysite

    In your hosts file, you would put

            xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx mysite.com <http://mysite.com>

    A DNS record like this would point *from* an IP *to* a virtual
    host. In production, you would set up your public server to
    respond to your actual domain name, and you would have your DNS
    hosting provider point your domain to the public IP address of
    your actual server.
