I have rewritten one of our sites using Rails, but now need to add a
forum to it. Would love to use a native Rails app for that purpose, and
RForum seems the way to go. But how to integrate RForum with an
existing app?
I mean, it has its own database schema, a site.rb config file, which I
assume would effect the entire app if I put it in there, etc.
Is there a simple way of plugging one Rails app into another? Or do I
need to just go through the code an alter everything to fit into the app
I have already built?

Thanks.
I would use a virtual host like: forum.yourdomain.com
It would make upgrading easier if you keep the apps seperated.
