Under windows, I am able to set up one virtual host that works with
mongrel no problem. The issue is when I set up additional ones I
cannot get to them. I look in the log file of the first app and it is
trying to go there.
Does anyone know how to set up multiple virtual hosts with rails?
Hi,
This is not a rails problem but an issue for your webserver.
I can only speak for unix systems but the path is usually the same:
user sends a request to port 80, the webserver (e.g. apache) accepts
it and
decides wether to deliver a file or proxy the request to the mongrel.
Usually there are more than one mongel and they run on port 3000
upwards.
Let us know about you system details, what webserver you use.
ciao, tom

windows, apache 2.2. I set the virtual hosts like the docs say but I
can
only get to one of them, the first one in the list of virtual hosts.

Hi, are you using a different ServerName for each virtual host? Also,
did
you
correctly configure the equivalent of Unix hosts’ file under Windows?

i have a different ServerName for each one.
So are you accessing your server by IP address or host name?
If it’s the former you have to use a different IP for each virtual host.
Perhaps you should post the relevant parts of your conf files.

Hi, I’m not a Windows expert but I believe that you do have to modify
the
hosts’
file to contain all the server names contained in your virtual hosts’
file.

Do you need to modify the hosts file if I go to my server address? Yes
i have a different ServerName for each one.

If you want to use Named Virtual Hosts, then those names need to
be resolvable, though DNS, NIS, your local hosts file – something.

The “first one” /what/? Hostname? Is that the actual hostname of
your computer? A minute ago you said you were accessing your
server by IP address. Which is it?

The first virtual host.
My sever locally is ex. 192.168.1.1
I go to 192.168.1.1/myapp1
that app in my vitual host works
If I go to 192.168.1.1/myapp2
it says page cannot be displayed. It is the rails error page coming
from myapp1.

The above has exactly nothing to do with “virtual hosts”, so I’m not
sure where your subject line comes from. If you’re trying to “fix” the
above situation with virtual host directives, you’re going to be badly
disappointed 
You need appropriate proxy settings for your one host.

Might work – if you were accessing your server /using those names/
e.g. http://employeedb/ and http://turindata/
So either do that, or dump all the virtual host stuff and fix your proxy
settings to respond to the format e.g. http://192.168.1.1/myapp1, if
that’s what you want.

OK I was trying to avoid pasting the virtual hsots file but here it
goes:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName employeedb
DocumentRoot “F:/BACKUP/Backup/Web_apps_svn_working/employeedb/public”
RewriteEngine On
<Directory “F:/BACKUP/Backup/Web_apps_svn_working/employeedb/public”

ProxyPass / http://localhost:3000/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:3000/
ProxyPreserveHost on
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName turindata
DocumentRoot “F:/BACKUP/Backup/Subversion Server/httpd/deploy_apps/
Turindata/public”

Ok, well this is where it gets odd, like I said before I can go to:
I have my local server set up for http requests from my router.
I can go to:
http://192.168.1.1/turindata
no problem
the other app bombs

It’s not “odd” at all. You’re seeing the first app that matches as the
default. That is NOT an indication that it’s “working”, even partially.
If you don’t use the defined server names to access your app, the
current configuration WILL NOT WORK.
I suggest you first make up your mind how you want to access your
server, as two virtual hosts, or 1 host with separate apps as you’re
apparently attempting now.

huh, well I am doing it according to the apache docs.
the *:80 routes all traffic from port 80 and the ServerName
differentiates between the different virtual hosts.
I go to http://192.168.1.1/turindata
I should be able to go to http://192.168.1.1/employeedb
If this is not correct can you please instruct me how to make this
happen somehow?
I am not an apache guru just trying to go by the rails stuff I have
found and apache docs.

Not sure how to do it using mongrel on apache. All I have seen it doing
it
with virtual hosts. proxy to mongrel and back.

OK, dump all the virtual host stuff you’re not using and under the
default host put something like:
ProxyPass /app/ http://localhost:3000/
ProxyPassReverse /app/ http://localhost:3000/
ProxyPass /app1/ http://localhost:3001/
ProxyPassReverse /app1/ http://localhost:3001/
Done.
