Ruby Forum Rails deployment > Securring a rails app deployed with passenger

Hi guys,

I want my rails app to be accessible from certain IPs only. I tried to
archieve this the way I was used to it in the PHP-world (in apache
vhost-setup):

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName my.domain.com
        DocumentRoot /home/todo/public
        RailsEnv production
        <Directory />
        deny from all
        #allow from 1.1.1.1 #ip1
        #allow from 2.2.2.2 #ip2
        </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

All static files (css, js and so on) are prohibited for unknown IP as
they should, but my.domain.com/ is not! Rails just servers the HTML to
all visitors.

What can I do to restrict my site certain IPs?

Thanks!

I'm not an apache expert but I'm pretty sure that <Directory />
directive should say <Directory /home/todo/public>

You must write allow directive into Proxy definition too.
Put your absolute path into Directory definition (as said Ivan).

Regards!

Hi Rasmus,

That Directory section should be a Location section.  This is necessary
with the normal Apache proxying too as Apache isn't technically
accessing that directory, your Rails app is.
