I''m wondering if it''s possible to setup mongrel to have multiple document roots? The use case I''m trying to solve is one where I have a library of shared CSS/JS/Images and would like multiple rails application to use them. I have written a proxy controller and added some routes to serve the static files and it works reasonably well, but is extremely slow, because it''s single threaded. I''d like mongrel to serve these files. I''m wondering if there is a way to use -s option to add an aditional document root handler.

Couldn''t you just symlink everything back to the shared location? I''m assuming you are on *nix of course .: Michael :.

Let''s say I want a rails public directory to be at both / and at /newplace/ then I just do this: 1) Put this in a mongrel.conf file: uri "/newplace", :handler => DirHandler.new("public") 2) Run mongrel like this: mongrel_rails start -S mongrel.conf 3) Go to http://localhost:3000/newplace/ and you see the same thing as http://localhost:3000/ That''s it. -- Zed A.

Ah yes, here''s the solution I landed on =>
require ''mongrel/handlers.rb''
class MultipleDirHandler < Mongrel::DirHandler
# check in each folder for the file
def initialize(*path)
@paths = path
super(@paths[0])
end
# check each folder
def can_serve(path_info)
@paths.each do|path|
@path = File.expand_path(path) # to allow RAILS_ROOT
ret = super(path_info)
return ret unless ret.nil?
end
@path = @paths[0]
return nil
end
end
Working really well. Thank you!
