I have multiple ruby on rails applications on the server(Apache + passenger ) using RailsbaseURI.
When new applications are deployed, apache is configured to reload which reads the new configuration in apache.conf and the new url for app becomes active.
I was looking for options where individual apps can be restarted using some socket. Can anyone refer me some pointers for that implementation.
I don't believe you can do this. I'd be happy to be corrected, but I think this is just a fault of apache and passenger. (Could also explain why no one commented on this)
I actually had to go to extreme measure to get around this (every time I was updating a site on my host, I had to restart all the apps), so I moved to nginx and unicorn. Unicorn allows the application to be bound to unix sockets, and nginx reads nicely from those sockets.
There are numerous guides for this migration.
