Instantrails users - May 2007 - Create a virtual host using Instant Rails 1.7

Hi,
   I created a new rails application called demo using Instant Rails 1.7.
It runs at the URL http://localhost:3003/blog/

The applications that a packaged with the zip file, cookbook and typo are
currenlty the two virtual hosts.  I can already run them using the following
URLs
http://www.mycookbook.com and http://typo/
Now, I want to add my application demo as the third virtual host in
development mode.
This application for example, could run on the URL http://www.mydemo.com/
What files do I need to modify to set this up?

Please help.
Thanks
Udai

Just pick an unused port (like 3008 or something), and configure your rails
app to run there. Edit the apache config file (through the Instant Rails
menus) and duplicate the section already in there for eith typo or the
cookbook, and then change name and port to match your new app.

Finally edit you windows HOSTS file to map the new name to 127.0.0.1 (unless
you already have your own DNS server running).

Hi,
   Thanks for the instant reply : ).
THis is what I did
1. Under
Rails Applications --> Manage Rail Applications
I clicked on the demo (my application) check box and clicked on Configure
Startup Mode button
In Configure Demo Window I set
  Runtime mode text box : development
  Port: 3038
  Then I clicked on Edit Apache Config button and added the following text
<VirtualHost *>
    ServerName www.mydemo.com
    ProxyPass / http://localhost:3028/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:3028
</VirtualHost>
Saved this file
  Then I clicked on the Edit Window Host file and added the following line
         127.0.0.1 www.mydemo.com
Saved this file and clicked OK button in Configue Demo Window
Then I Clicked on Start with Mongrel button in Rails Application Window.
Now, I opened IE and typed the URL : http://www.mydemo.com/
It showed me the default page (welcome Aboard Riding the Rails page).
I have to physically type http://www.mydemo.com/blog  in order to see my
application (scaffolding).  Blog is the controller for this application.
Now, the cookbook application seems to be redirecting to
   http://www.mycookbook.com/recipe/list by just typing the URL
http://www.mycookbook.com
This is not hapenning with my application though.  I don''t undersand.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks again for your help.

Udai

That''s the correct behavior. You have to specify the default action  
via Rail''s routes mechanism.  Look in the config/routes.rb for one of  
the other applications, or look for docs on rails routing.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
The cookbook application is using  the default index.html  page to redirect
to the required URL.
The Typo application is actually using rails routing (config/routes.rb) to
invoke the controller and the action.
Well both mechanisms work.
I really appreciate your help.
