Norbert, You can install multiple Ruby stacks on the same machine using RVM. (Ruby Version Manager) However, to run more than one version of Passenger, you'll have to fire up another instance of your web server and use a proxy pass. Excerpt from http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/integration/passenger/:
Q: Can I run multiple projects under passenger with each project on a different ruby version? A: Not at this time. Passenger currently only supports running it's projects under *one* ruby. You can get this behavior using a proxy pass. I'm not sure, however, what the repercussions of running Passenger under one version of Ruby and a project under another. With an RVM based installation, Passenger is running in an isolated stack with it's own gems, etc. The apache config points to that stack. Unless someone chimes in and shoots it down, I would think it's worth a try. Have you looked into RVM? http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/rvm/basics/ Have you looked into hosting your new site somewhere else? Heroku is free for smaller sites. If you have a large data requirement you can use Amazon S3 for about 0.15 / GB / month.
