Rails - Jun 2005 - Multiple rails apps under lighttpd on OS X?

Hi there

I have a couple of rails apps running under lighttpd on OS X. However,
the installation of the second app has caused problems. When I run the
second app, instead of getting its login screen, I am getting the
login screen for the first app minus CSS styling!

If I directly try and access the login controller for the second app,
http://gtd.dev/login I get a routing error relating to the accounts
controller, which exists in the first app only!

So I guess my lighttpd.conf is screwed up somehow. Here''s the relevant
section (it is the gtd.dev app that is not loading properly, except
under webbrick)

$HTTP["host"] =~ "360new.dev" {
  server.error-handler-404 = "/dispatch.fcgi"
  server.document-root = "/Users/bongoman/Sites/360new.dev/public/"
  fastcgi.server = ( ".fcgi" =>
    ( "localhost" =>
      (
        "min-procs" => 1, 
        "max-procs" => 5,
        "socket"   => "/tmp/railsapp.fcgi.socket",
        "bin-path" =>
"/Users/bongoman/Sites/360new.dev/public/dispatch.fcgi",
        "bin-environment" => ( "RAILS_ENV" =>
"development" )
      )
    )
  )
}

$HTTP["host"] =~ "gtd.dev" {
  server.error-handler-404 = "/dispatch.fcgi"
  server.document-root = "/Users/bongoman/Sites/gtd.dev/public/"
  fastcgi.server = ( ".fcgi" =>
    ( "localhost" =>
      (
        "min-procs" => 1, 
        "max-procs" => 5,
        "socket"   => "/tmp/railsapp.fcgi.socket",
        "bin-path" =>
"/Users/bongoman/Sites/gtd.dev/public/dispatch.fcgi",
        "bin-environment" => ( "RAILS_ENV" =>
"production" )
      )
    )
  )
}

Any clues would be appreciated.

I''m not sure if it matters but you have them pointed at the same socket
file?

I read somewhere that there was a bug in lighttpd on Mac OS X that
prevented multiple hosts from working correctly.  I had similar
problems when I tried to set it up.

What version of lighttpd are you using?

If you get this resolved it would be great, I''d prefer to use lighttpd
over apache for my server.

It seems so! After renaming the socket files for each app, all is
fine. Thanks for pointing that out.
