[Rails] hosting multiple rails apps in one webroot?

It''s actually REALLY easy with lighttpd on linux.

Two apps...

Myserver.com/code/    => /apps/code/
Myserver.com/test/    +> /apps/test/



Each application needs this in the environment.rb

/apps/code/config/environment.rb

ActionController::AbstractRequest.relative_url_root = "/code"

/apps/test/config/environment.rb

ActionController::AbstractRequest.relative_url_root = "/test"



Here''s a lighttpd config file that runs on port 80. Be sure to activate
mod_alias!!


# Default configuration file for the lighttpd web server
# Start using ./script/server lighttpd

server.port = 80
server.modules           = ("mod_alias",  "mod_rewrite",
"mod_accesslog", "mod_fastcgi" )
server.document-root     = "/apps/root/"
url.rewrite              = ( "^/$" => "index.html",
"^([^.]+)$" => "$1.html" )

$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/code" {
  server.document-root = "/apps/code/public/"
  alias.url = ( "/code" => "/apps/code/public" )
  server.error-handler-404 = "/code/dispatch.fcgi" 
  server.errorlog          = "/apps/code/log/lighttpd.error.log"
  accesslog.filename       = "/apps/code/log/lighttpd.access.log"
  server.indexfiles = ( "dispatch.fcgi", "index.html" )
 
  fastcgi.server = ( ".fcgi" =>
    (( 
       "socket" => "/apps/code/log/code.socket",
       "min-procs" => 2,
       "max-procs" => 2,
       "bin-path" =>  "/apps/code/public/dispatch.fcgi",
       "bin-environment" => ( "RAILS_ENV" =>
"production" )
  )))
}

$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/test" {
  server.document-root = "/apps/test/public/"
  alias.url = ( "/test" => "/apps/test/public" )
  server.error-handler-404 = "/test/dispatch.fcgi" 
  server.errorlog          = "/apps/test/log/lighttpd.error.log"
  accesslog.filename       = "/apps/test/log/lighttpd.access.log"
  server.indexfiles = ( "dispatch.fcgi", "index.html" )
 
  fastcgi.server = ( ".fcgi" =>
    (( 
       "socket" => "/apps/test/log/test.socket",
       "min-procs" => 2,
       "max-procs" => 2,
       "bin-path" =>  "/apps/test/public/dispatch.fcgi",
       "bin-environment" => ( "RAILS_ENV" =>
"production" )
  )))
}




mimetype.assign = (  
  ".css"        =>  "text/css",
  ".gif"        =>  "image/gif",
  ".htm"        =>  "text/html",
  ".html"       =>  "text/html",
  ".jpeg"       =>  "image/jpeg",
  ".jpg"        =>  "image/jpeg",
  ".js"         =>  "text/javascript",
  ".png"        =>  "image/png",
  ".swf"        =>  "application/x-shockwave-flash",
  ".txt"        =>  "text/plain"
)
--------------

Doing this with SCGI is just as easy. Just change the appropriate sections and
it should work fine.

Good luck!!!

Thanks Peter,

As I read that page virtual hosting maps hostnames => document roots (using
server-root, default-host, and document-root) -- there does not appear to be a
way to map hostname/path1 to a virtual host.

In order to server two different rails apps I assume that I need to create two
different fcgi.server blocks in lighttpd.conf however these blocks appear to be
differentiated based on hostname and port alone.

I can easily map rails.dev.host.com to an fcgi process that starts either the
dispatch.fcgi process in railsapp1 or raqilsapp2.

If I had more control over the name rails.dev.host.com I could create virtual
hosts like this:

  railsapp1.rails.dev.host.com
  railsapp2.rails.dev.host.com

and then create two virtual hosts and two fcgi-server blocks for both the apps.

But I am stuck with rails.dev.host.com

Perhaps I am missing something obvious ...?

[Rails] hosting multiple rails apps in one webroot?

Brian,

Your config listed below ALMOST worked ...

In the $HTTP["url"] conditional config blocks I had to change:
  server.error-handler-404 = "/code/dispatch.fcgi"
to
  server.error-handler-404 = "dispatch.fcgi"

I''m using lighttpd 1.4.11 on MacOS X 10.4.5.

I hadn''t realized how convoluted the process lighttpd uses is in order
to get to my rails apps. I enabled lighttpd debugging and carefully watched the
error log. When I connect to the url: host.com/railsapp1/controller/method
lighttpd first discovers that the file:
  /Users/stephen/dev/rails/railsapp1/public/controller/method
doesn''t exist before connecting to:
  /Users/stephen/dev/rails/railsapp1/public/dispatch.fcgi
and passing in the route:
  /railsapp1/controller/method
Which works because the following param in config/environment.rb (thanks for
pointing it out):
  ActionController::AbstractRequest.relative_url_root = "/railsapp1"
gets rails to strip the leading appname before routing.

So for anybody else who is interested example here''s the conditional
config block for one of my test apps which is accessed via url:
host.com/railsapp1

$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/railsapp1" {
  server.document-root = "/Users/stephen/dev/rails/railsapp1/public/"
  alias.url = ( "/railsapp1" =>
"/Users/stephen/dev/rails/railsapp1/public" )
  accesslog.filename   =
"/Users/stephen/dev/rails/railsapp1/log/access.log"
  server.error-handler-404 = "dispatch.fcgi"
  server.errorlog          =
"/Users/stephen/dev/rails/railsapp1/log/lighttpd.error.log"
  server.indexfiles = ( "dispatch.fcgi", "index.html" )
  # rails stuff
  fastcgi.server = ( ".fcgi" =>
    (
        (
       "socket" =>
"/Users/stephen/dev/rails/railsapp1/log/code.socket",
       "min-procs" => 2,
       "max-procs" => 2,
       "bin-path" => 
"/Users/stephen/dev/rails/railsapp1/public/dispatch.fcgi",
       "bin-environment" => ( "RAILS_ENV" =>
"development" )
  )))
}

Thanks for your suggestion.

[Rails] hosting multiple rails apps in one webroot?

Stephen,

I submitted a small patch the other day:

http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/4243

...that would allow you to specify the relative_url_root in the
lighttpd.conf instead of in the environment.rb, like so:

fastcgi.server = ( ".fcgi" =>
   (
       (
      "socket" =>
"/Users/stephen/dev/rails/railsapp1/log/code.socket",
      "min-procs" => 2,
      "max-procs" => 2,
      "bin-path" => 
"/Users/stephen/dev/rails/railsapp1/public/dispatch.fcgi",
      "bin-environment" => ( "RAILS_ENV" =>
"development",
                                           "RAILS_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT"
=> "/railsapp1" )
 )))
}

I''d like to also get automatic detection of subdirectories working on
lighttpd (like it does on apache), but setting an environment variable
is meeting my needs at the moment.

I can''t get this config to work, strange... I have an Apache running at
the
public address with below in the config:
ProxyPass /cookbook http://localhost:3000/cookbook
ProxyPassReverse /cookbook http://localhost:3000/cookbook

Then I use the following lighttpd config:
# Default configuration file for the lighttpd web server
# Start using ./script/server lighttpd

server.port = 3000

server.modules           = ( "mod_rewrite", "mod_accesslog",
"mod_fastcgi" ,
"mod_alias" )
# server.error-handler-404 = "/dispatch.fcgi"

When starting this config I get no problems, but surfing to
host.com/cookbook or host.com/cookbook/ gives routing errors for ""
and
"/". Does this work with your index.html?

Bart,
>When starting this config I get no problems, but surfing to
>host.com/cookbook or host.com/cookbook/ gives routing errors for
"" and
>"/". Does this work with your index.html?
Does the file cookbook/public/index.html exist?
Does host.com/cookbook/index.html work? If this works and host.com/cookbook
doesn''t change the order of index.html and dispatch.fcgi in your config
block:

  server.indexfiles = ( "index.html", "dispatch.fcgi" )

Lighttpd will now first look for the presence of index.html when serving a
directory and only when not found look for dispatch.fcgi in the same dir.

Or leave it the way it is and add the following line to the END of
cookbook/config/routes.rb:

  map.connect '''', :controller =>
''recipe'', :action => ''list''

Set the :controller and :action to point to what you would like your app to
display on entry at the top.

You need to decide whether you want lighttpd to serve up any index.html files
for your rails app at all. You can instead handle this kind of url request by
specifying a default route.

FYI: When I was trying to fix my earlier problems I was having I turned on the
debugging flags for lighttpd in lighttpd.conf. The debugging data appear in
lighttpd.error.log.

## enable debugging
debug.log-request-header   = "enable"
debug.log-response-header  = "enable"
debug.log-request-handling = "enable"
debug.log-file-not-found   = "enable"

I tried that but it does not seem to help, strange. I guess there is
something wrong with my rewrite rules, here''s what I get when debugging
is
turned on (thanks for that hint!). The urls are: host.com/cookbook,
host.com/cookbook/, host.com/cookbook/index.html.

[Rails] hosting multiple rails apps in one webroot?

Glad it worked... That''s crazy. Not sure why my example didn''t
work for
you... It''s pulled right off of my working linux server... But I am
using lighttpd 1.4.7 on Debian so maybe something changed in the more
current version. I like your version better anyway; to me it makes more
sense.

Subject: RE: [Rails] hosting multiple rails apps in one webroot?


Brian,

Your config listed below ALMOST worked ...

In the $HTTP["url"] conditional config blocks I had to change:
  server.error-handler-404 = "/code/dispatch.fcgi"
to
  server.error-handler-404 = "dispatch.fcgi"

I''m using lighttpd 1.4.11 on MacOS X 10.4.5.

I hadn''t realized how convoluted the process lighttpd uses is in order
to get to my rails apps. I enabled lighttpd debugging and carefully
watched the error log. When I connect to the url:
host.com/railsapp1/controller/method lighttpd first discovers that the
file:
  /Users/stephen/dev/rails/railsapp1/public/controller/method
doesn''t exist before connecting to:
  /Users/stephen/dev/rails/railsapp1/public/dispatch.fcgi
and passing in the route:
  /railsapp1/controller/method
Which works because the following param in config/environment.rb (thanks
for pointing it out):
  ActionController::AbstractRequest.relative_url_root = "/railsapp1"
gets rails to strip the leading appname before routing.

So for anybody else who is interested example here''s the conditional
config block for one of my test apps which is accessed via url:
host.com/railsapp1

$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/railsapp1" {
  server.document-root = "/Users/stephen/dev/rails/railsapp1/public/"
  alias.url = ( "/railsapp1" =>
"/Users/stephen/dev/rails/railsapp1/public" )
  accesslog.filename  
"/Users/stephen/dev/rails/railsapp1/log/access.log"
  server.error-handler-404 = "dispatch.fcgi"
  server.errorlog         
"/Users/stephen/dev/rails/railsapp1/log/lighttpd.error.log"
  server.indexfiles = ( "dispatch.fcgi", "index.html" )
  # rails stuff
  fastcgi.server = ( ".fcgi" =>
    (
        (
       "socket" =>
"/Users/stephen/dev/rails/railsapp1/log/code.socket",
       "min-procs" => 2,
       "max-procs" => 2,
       "bin-path" =>
"/Users/stephen/dev/rails/railsapp1/public/dispatch.fcgi",
       "bin-environment" => ( "RAILS_ENV" =>
"development" )
  )))
}

Thanks for your suggestion.

It looks like some rewrite rule is changing cookbook to cookbook.html.
I''d suggest getting rid of any rewrite rules. The only thing like a
rewrite rule I have in my lighttpd.conf file is:

index-file.names            = ( "index.php", "index.html",
                                "index.htm", "default.htm",
"dispatch.fcgi")

Again the ".html" is being added. You can download the source for your
version of lighttpd and check what line 197 in response.c is doing OR you can
just comment out all your rewrite rules to see if that helps.

Now this one worked. I''ll bet the rewrite rule saw the
".html" and didn''t activate.

That did it! Thank you very much! I''ll add this information to the wiki

[Rails] hosting multiple rails apps in one webroot?

That did it for me too! Just one small problem...

My css path is jacked up now. since my url is:

http://dev/ro/railsapp1/

it won''t recognize for some reason where that css really is.

I hacked it and put it (stylesheets/) under the ''normal''
server''s
webroot (it works but not recommended) but I''m sure there''s a
way for it
to recognize it under it''s own virtual path...i.e. 
/home/ro/public_html/railsapp1/public/stylesheets/scaffold.css

this is my vhost conf:

1   $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/ro\/railsapp1" {
2     server.document-root = "/home/ro/public_html/railsapp1/public/"
3     alias.url = ( "/ro\/railsapp1" => 
"/home/ro/public_html/railsapp1/public" )
4     accesslog.filename   = 
"/home/ro/public_html/railsapp1/log/access.log"
5     server.error-handler-404 = "dispatch.fcgi"
6     server.errorlog          = 
"/home/ro/public_html/railsapp1/log/lighttpd.error.log"
7     server.indexfiles = ( "dispatch.fcgi", "index.html" )
8         # rails stuff
9         fastcgi.server = (
10           ".fcgi" => (
11             ( "socket" => 
"/home/ro/public_html/railsapp1/log/code.socket",
12               "min-procs" => 2,
13               "max-procs" => 2,
14               "bin-path" => 
"/home/ro/public_html/railsapp1/public/dispatch.fcgi",
15               "bin-environment" => ( "RAILS_ENV" =>
"development" )
16             ))
17           )
18   }

I have added this information to

The lighttpd.conf section looks good.

The lighttpd.conf $HTTP[$url] configuration block technique can also be used
with or without Apache proxing and is very handy when you want to host multiple
raiils apps without making new subdomains.

re:

server.event-handler     = "freebsd-kqueue"
# this is for FreeBSD!

I usually put the comment just before the directive.

Did you try setting this in config/environment.rb:

 ActionController::AbstractRequest.relative_url_root =
''/railsapp1''

add it at the bottom:

[Rails] hosting multiple rails apps in one webroot?

If you notice on this line:
  $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/ro\/railsapp1"

I have it under a main directory called /ro/ in lighty pointing to the 
filesystem (/home/ro/public_html/railsapp1/public)

So I would, ideally, have:

http://dev/ro/railsapp1
http://dev/ro/railsapp2

What ''fixed'' my problem is that I combined the name so that I
ONLY have
one main directory per app:

Like so:   $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/rorailsapp1" ...
           $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/joerailsapp1" ...


http://dev/rorailsapp1 --> (/home/ro/public_html/railsapp1/public)

http://dev/joerailsapp1 --> (/home/joe/public_html/railsapp1/public)

So that I can have a nice CVS or Subversion type environment. Maybe I''m
not approaching this the right way. It works but It''d rather have it to
where the vhost is identified by user http://dev/ro/<all rails apps 
here>... Does this make sense Stephen?

thanks,
