[Rails] Re: [ Rails ] Multiple rails apps on 1 host

Well,

one strange work-around I found was to make use of this mechanism:

$HTTP["host"] == "mac2" { ... }

Usually we tie 1 hostname to the ethernet card on a host.

But...
If I tie 2 hostnames to my ethernet card,
I can ''connect'' the 2nd hostname to the second rails app.

On my Mac I tied "mac2" to 127.0.0.1 by editing /etc/hosts

Then, I added this syntax to the lighttpd.conf which ties
the 2nd hostname to the rails app.


$HTTP["host"] == "mac2" {
   server.document-root = "/tmp/app2/public"
   server.errorlog      = "/tmp/app2" +
"/log/lighttpd.error.log"
   accesslog.filename   = "/tmp/app2" +
"/log/lighttpd.access.log"


fastcgi.server      = ( ".fcgi" => ( "localhost" => (
  "min-procs"       => 1,
  "max-procs"       => 1,
  "socket"          => "/tmp/app2" +
"/tmp/sockets/fcgi.socket",
  "bin-path"        => "/tmp/app2" +
"/public/dispatch.fcgi",
  "bin-environment" => ( "RAILS_ENV" =>
"development" )
) ) )

}


And...
the rails app at /tmp/app2
behaves the way I want.

[Rails] [ Rails ] Multiple rails apps on 1 host

Team,

I''m trying to figure out how to run 2 rails apps on one host.

I ran an experiment:

cd /tmp/
rails app1
rails app2
cd app1
script/server

rails put a copy of lighttpd.conf in
/tmp/app1/config/
and then started lighttpd

http://localhost:3000
gave me the splash page.

I shutdown the server

I added something to
/tmp/app1/config/lighttpd.conf

server.modules           = ( "mod_rewrite", "mod_accesslog",
"mod_fastcgi",
"mod_compress", "mod_expire", "mod_alias" )

Then I added 1 other thing:


$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/app2" {
 alias.url = ( "/app2" => CWD + "/../app2/public" )
 server.error-handler-404 = "/dispatch.fcgi"
 server.document-root     = CWD + "/../app2/public/"
 server.errorlog          = CWD + "/../app2/log/lighttpd.error.log"
 accesslog.filename       = CWD + "/../app2/log/lighttpd.access.log"

fastcgi.server      = ( ".fcgi" => ( "localhost" => (
  "min-procs"       => 1,
  "max-procs"       => 1,
  "socket"          => CWD +
"/../app2/tmp/sockets/fcgi.socket",
  "bin-path"        => CWD +
"/../app2/public/dispatch.fcgi",
  "bin-environment" => ( "RAILS_ENV" =>
"development",
"RAILS_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT" => "/app2" )
) ) )

}

I ran script/server from /tmp/app1 to start lighttpd.

It came up fine.

I tried
http://localhost:3000/

I got the rails splash page as before.

I tried
http://localhost:3000/app2/index.html

I got the rails splash page

I tried
http://localhost:3000/app2/

I got a 404 error.

Why is it ignoring the index.html in
/tmp/app2/public/
???


I looked in the error log for app2.

I saw:

2006-08-22 21:39:12: (log.c.75) server started
2006-08-22 21:39:58: (connections.c.1394) Warning: Either the error-handler
returned status 404 or the error-handler itself was not found:
/dispatch.fcgi
2006-08-22 21:39:58: (connections.c.1396) returning the original status 404
2006-08-22 21:39:58: (connections.c.1398) If this is a rails app: check your
production.log

I shutdown lighttpd.

I tinkered with a variety of settings in
/tmp/app1/config/lighttpd.conf

I couldn''t get app2 to "see" index.html unless I typed it
into the URL.

Can any of you give me some tips on how I might force lighttpd to see
index.html ?

Related question:

How do I force app1 to ignore /app2/ as a route ?

Thanks,

-Dan
