I''ve got an Apache + PHP website and I''d like it to work side by side with Rails using Mongrel. How do I configure httpd.conf (without using a cluster) to forward rails requests to Mongrel and let the php ones continue working as is? Is this possible? Here''s the basic setup: File system: apache/htdocs - contains all the php scripts railsproj/public - public rails project folder HTTP settings: http://www.example.com/ -> apache/htdocs http://www.example.com:4000 -> railsproj/public Thanks, Shimon Amit --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

We do something a little like that. There may be other ways, but we''ve used virtual hosts, ie <VirtualHost *:80> #stuff for your rails site </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:4000> #stuff for your php site. </VirtualHost> Fred -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

But doesn''t that mean that the end user has to enter the port number ( www.example.com:4000) in his browser? How can I configure it so that www.example.com/[anything/].php goes to the php parser and everything else goes to mongrel/rails?

Hmm, try setting up a proxy? In Apache, look at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_proxy.html, especially at the proxypass directive.

Thanks everybody. My goal was to setup a Ruby on Rails development
environment on Windows XP allowing PHP and Rails to run side by side without
clustering or proxying. Here''s my summary as to how I succeeded to
setup the
following development environment:
- Windows XP
- Xampp: Apache 2.0, PHP 5, MySQL 5
- Ruby 1.8.5
- Rails 1.1.6
- Mongrel (gems: mongrel, mongrel_service)
Here''s how:
*INSTALLATIONS*
1) First I installed XAMPP 1.5.0-pl1. I didn''t use the most recent
version
because of MySQL/Ruby compatibility Issues.
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/xampp/xampp-win32-1.5.0-pl1-installer.exe?download
2) Ruby 1.8.5 - One click installer
http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads
3) Rails: At the command line: *gem install rails --include-dependencies*.
I used to have Ruby 1.8.2 installed and with the version of RubyGems that it
came with the gem commands used to freeze. I know things still aren''t
too
stable with Ruby on Windows, but after I upgraded to 1.8.5 the gem command
started working nicely.
4) Mongrel: *gem install mongrel_service --include-dependencies*. This will
also install the mongrel gem. This gem will allow mongrel to run on Windows
as a service.
*CONFIGURATIONS*
1) Apache. Append the following to the httpd.conf file. Notice that I used
mod_rewrite rather than mod_proxy to forward requests to mongrel. (If this
is a no no, I have yet to find out!) I didn''t want to have to
configure a
mongrel cluster.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName 127.0.0.1
DocumentRoot C:/path/to/rails/project
<Directory "C:/path/to/rails/project">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+[^/])$ $1/ [R]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} \.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1 [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1/index.html [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1/index.php [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.*)[^/]$ $1/ [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://127.0.0.1:4000%{REQUEST_URI} [P,QSA,L]
</VirtualHost>
2) Mongrel. This is a one-time command to run at the command prompt to
install a mongrel service that will serve your rails application:
*mongrel_rails service::install -N [name_of_service]
-c [c:\path\to\rails\project] -p 4000 -e [development]*
[name_of_service] - name of the Mongrel Windows service that will serve the
rails project.
[c:\path\to\rails\project] - as it says.
[development] - this can be either ''development'' or
''production''. As you
can guess, running on Windows with XAMPP, I was running a development
environment.
3) Rails. Configure your development database in
[c:\path\to\rails\project]\config\database.yml.
*INITIATIONS*
1) Command line: *mongrel_rails service::start -N [name_of_service]*
2) Start Apache+MySQL with XAMPP Control Panel.
3) Go to 127.0.0.1 in your browser.
*RESOURCES*

Shameless plug: Take a look at LiteSpeed. It allows you to do all this and more. It''s fast, free, and you don''t need mongrel och mongrel_cluster. Rails processes can spawn - quickly - just like PHP processes, and the two can coinhabit the same server. / Peter On 19 okt 2006, at 15.39, Shimon Amit wrote:> Thanks everybody.

LiteSpeed definately looks like it has prospects, but it doesn''t run on Windows. I may try it with MS Virtual PC but I''m not quite there yet.

I had looked at LiteSpeed for a production app, and the commercial version looks freaking fast. The free version looks about the same, performance-wise, as lighttpd. Lighttpd also can serve both rails and php through fcgi. Does litespeed have any advantages over lighttpd? Peter Bengtson wrote:> Shameless plug: Take a look at LiteSpeed.

Yes. You don''t need to allocate a bunch of static FCGI workers. They are spawned as needed, and you can control the maximum allowed number of them. Also, configuring a Rails site is a doddle. As is multiple Rails apps on one server. And it''s configurable through a web interface.

I don''t want to have to enter the port number. It is not elegant.
Plus, I
don''t want to make provisions for that type of URL pattern in the links
(PHP
links). The last line of the VirtualHost section above says:
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://127.0.0.1:4000%{REQUEST_URI} [P,QSA,L]
This is the line that rewrites all the rails requests to mongrel. Problem
is, I can''t use ProxyPass rather than RewriteRule because it does not
accept
regular expressions. Do you have any suggestions? Plus, why is it
preferable to use mod_proxy rather than mod_rewrite with Mongrel?
Thanks,
Shimon

I tried InstantRails but they don''t offer MySQL 5 which is a requirement. Regarding proxies, I have no objection to using them so long as I can use regular expressions (see post above) to filter requests. So far I''ve only had success with mod_rewrite and not with mod_proxy.
