Rails - Jan 2006 - How to hide port number from URL?

I just installed RoR on my server and I can access it using port 3000, 
but it''s not very nice to have it in the URL. How can I hide the port 
from the URL?
Thanks,

use FCGI and get rid of the webrick server altogether if that is an
option. If you use apache/lighttpd and fastcgi you are all on port 80
with no ugly port numbers

Thanks. I already have Apache on port 80. How could I do?

You can only have one web server per port.  If you need to run
multiple applications through the same port, you should look into
Apache''s virtual host directive.

Perhaps you''re confused on what "hiding" the port means.  The
only
port that you can "hide" is the default port for the scheme.  So for 
"http:" you MUST specify the port if it is different from the default
of 80.

Yes, is there a way to run RoR through Apache?

You have at least two options.

First would be to install fcgi support for Apache and run your
application from Apache itself. I use this setup for several Rails
applications on my own computer.

Second is to use Apache as a proxy redirecting all traffic to
lighttpd/webrick running on port 3000. This is preferred way of
working for example on Textdrive. (See mod_proxy documentation).

Another thing is that you probably do not want to configure Rails app
as the one and only for your Apache. If so you can install application
on it''s own virtual host or as sublocation of your default host.

Virtual hosts are simple to setup but if your computer does not have
several DNS entries assigned applications will be visible only on from
your computer.

Everything depends on if you want your applications to be visible by
others in the network.
