hi, i''m using mongrel as my production webserver, and i want to serve 2 rails apps e.g. www.myapp.com www.myapp.com/forums i want in effect to connect the second app to /forums on the same url. currently i have 2 mongrels running as follows:- my main app on port 80 at www.myapp.com my forums app on port 81 at www.myapp.com rather than giving out the URL www.myapp,com:81 for my forums, I would like to use www.myapp.com/forums and have this redirect invisibly to www.my.com:81 i''ve looked on the mongrel website and I''ve come across mongrel clusters and also mogrel configuration scripts - but this all quite complex and i''m not sure if either is the answer. any pointers? cheers, -john -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Look into the documentation for Lighty''s mod_proxy for the syntax. Using your example; you want to forward / to your primary app at http://localhost:8100 and forward /forums/ to http:localhost:8101. When you start the mongrel(s) for the forum application you need to be sure to pass the --prefix=/<name> option (e.g. mongrel_rails start --prefix=/forums -e production -d ) otherwise, your link_to, button_to et. al. will get confused and keep trying to send you back to app1. --R --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hello, You could also try the following: Use ''mongrel_rails start'' with ''--script=/path/to/script.rb'' and use any options you like in this file, especially the uri[1] method. You can then mount handlers to different mount points. It should work, but I never tested it, so I''ve no idea concerning performance issues.

thanks Randall, i''m getting close now... but still not quite there yet... i have 2 mongrels on 8100 and 8101. i''m trying to configure lighty to point / to 8100 and /forums to 8101. so, just starting with the main site on 8100, i have this in my lighttpd.conf file.... proxy.balance = "hash" proxy.server = ( "/" => (( "host" => "127.0.0.1", "port" => 8100)) but all i get is a blank page - which is better than an error message i guess... does anyone have a working lighttpd.conf file i could learn from? cheers, -john -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
