Hi Robert, thanks for your response. thanks for clarifying that I don't have to touch apache and passenger for this. yes, this is purely for local development purposes only. Of course, when I host it externally, i will have separate domain names.
since, i want to create multiple rails apps in my localhost, i want to esnure that i am taking atleast a simple path. It is a big relief to know that i don't have to tweak these apache2 config files. thanks a ton! (and sorry if u felt that this was off topic originally. but i really wanted to get the rails developers point of view..as i am on the road to developing two different rails apps in my local machine) - thanks, radha.
