Mongrel users - Jun 2006 - Hosting multiple Rails applications with Mongrel

Hi,

I run a small web hosting company. We host a few Rails applications using
Apache 2.2 and mod_fcgid.
I have been experimenting with Mongrel and mod_proxy. But I can''t seem
to
figure out how to host multiple
Rails - apps with mongrel. Do I have to start a new Mongrel process for
every virtual host on a different port?
Any help would be great.

MJ

Yes that''s pretty much what you have to do.  And then you configure a
different vhost configuration in apache for each.

Yes, I tried different setups this afternoon and this is indeed the way to
go :-)
We''re thinking about offering both setups to our customers, so
mod_fcgid for

the smaller applications. The bigger ones can use the balancing feature of
Apache
together with Mongrel.

I must say the I really like the fact that Mongrel starts up really quickly
and keeps running.
With mod_fcgid you always have to pay a startup cost.

Thanks,
MJ
