Rails - Apr 2007 - Rails applications deployed as subdomains of Rails application - how to?

Sorry about the subject line, but I couldn''t think of a better way to
state my problem.

I''ve got a Rails app deployed at www.main-domain.com.  I need to deploy
copies of that app to subdomains like sub1.main-domain.com,
sub2.main-domain.com, etc.  Each subdomain could use the same app code, but each
*must* have it''s own database.  (They also need their own images,
stylesheets, etc.)  None of the examples I''ve been able to Google up
have that characteristic.  They all assume a shared database with the
subdomain''s data being filtered in the model.  I would really
appreciate any thoughts / experience / pointers to stuff I''ve missed in
my Googling that might put me on the right track.


Thanks,
Bill

Since you *must* have own database as a requirement the simplest
solution is to deploy one app for each sub-domain. You can use Virtual Host
to set this up.

The down side is code maintenance can get complicated.
