I am considering creating a web interface for system administration, but it would need a plug-in architecture, adding new UIs as new services are added. I''m thinking about doing this with multiple Rails applications, and I''m curious as to whether mongrel can most multiple apps in a single instance, as opposed to running one for each. Is this possible? Thanks, Mike -- Michael P. Soulier <msoulier at digitaltorque.ca> "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex...

Is this possible?At around 23M minimum for each Rails application you''d never win. Take a look at how webmin does it. They basically have a high level API over their little plugins that is similar to CGI. It all runs inside a perl webserver that''s kind of like Mongrel. What you probably also want to check out is the gem_plugins gem that comes with Mongrel. It lets you create plugins like this with users just having to install a gem. -- Zed A.

Is this possible?this is developing. you can already run multiple camping apps (and maybe iowa/nitro/etc?). multiple rails apps wll require usage of the sandbox..> > Thanks, > Mike > -- > Michael P.
