Hi, I am trying to figure out how to best serve a PHP app on the same server as my Rails app. Basically, the PHP app is a 3rd party blog that I want to be able to access on the same server. The server is powered by mongrel cluster and apache. I tried putting the blog in /public but then /blog/login does not work, while /blog/login.php does. Anyway what is the best way to solve this? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

But if you can''t you can use mod_rewrite to sort out where requests should go. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html -- Greg Donald http://destiney.com/

However when I set up blog.mysite.com all of the links still point to mysite.com/blog instead of blog.mysite.com/blog. Is it because I set up the subdomain wrong or is it because mongrel is doing something here? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
I would assume that you are using passenger...
Just setup the rails app like normal then create a locations element
for the blog and turn off rails for this directory
And here is the cut''n paste from the Passenger documentation
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.foo.com
DocumentRoot /apps/foo/public
<Directory /apps/foo/public/wordpress>
PassengerEnabled off
AllowOverride all # <-- Makes Wordpress''s .htaccess
file
work.
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

It is a WP blog. I''m on MediaTemple host and the way they set it up there is no DocumentRoot specified in httpd.conf. Is there anyway to tell Apache not to send the request to mongrel (like PassengerEnabled)? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
http://kb.mediatemple.net/questions/279/Ruby+on+Rails+using+Mongrel+Clusters It looks like there''s a part about setting up your vhost.conf. Did you go through these steps? If so, I''d guess that it''s the place you want to make your edits to exclude blog URL from being redirected.
