> I just finishes my first RoR application

Good for you. And now someone else wants to use it, even better!

As to how to do this, one reliable way to do this is to use version
control and capistrano.

version control
If you have not added your code base to a version control repository,
now is the time to do this. Whether you choose to use subversion or
git, setup a server in your environment to keep incremental changes to
your application there. Version control gives you the ability to name
your versions.

capistrano
once you have your repository, you "deploy" new versions of your
application to any number of servers. In this case, you have two
"users" of your app. So whether the apps are housed on the same
server, or two servers, you use capistrano to write
"recipes" (scripts) to deploy to the target servers.

It is a proven, scalable way of doing what you want. Then, anytime
something changes, as it always happens, you have the choice to apply
your changes to one or both apps, and affect one or the two databases.
Keeps things under control.

Good luck, and congrats again.
