PHP, Rails 2 and Rails 3 on the same server, on production mode

Question

I am setting up a new web server (ubuntu 10.04 LTS), I want to get run on production mode: PHP, Rails 2.3.X and Rails 3, and each one should be accessible from diferent path, ex:

http://localhost/rails2_project

http://localhost/rails3_project

http://localhost/php_project

running the three at the time.

I already have installed rvm (with ruby 1.8.7 and 1.9.2), Apache, PHP and MySQL (I use MySQL for Rails and PHP applications).

Some suggest, documentation, links?... are all welcome

Answer 1

I'd use apache2 mod_alias : http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_alias.html

A better approach than using urls like http://localhost/somepath is : using virtualhosts you can define in your /etc/hosts file this entry

127.0.0.1  rails2 rails3 php

and then define name based virtualhosts for each project so that you can user urls like

http://rails2, http://rails3 and http://php
