How to deploy multiple apps on one Mac OSX development machine

Rails
1

I have split off the User Authentication of our main application into
it’s own application. I would like have this called from the main
application. How can I have multiple instances of “script/server”
running when there’s only one localhost:3000?

I believe I can then simple switch applications by routing.

Thanks.

you can use ./script/server -p 4000

That would me my long term recommendation.
Passenger makes it easy to manage multiple Rails or Rack Apps

Thanks for all your input!

I’m using the alternate port and it’s working. However, I now have
another issue: How can I send the Session: hash to the other
application. We have a Calendar application in house where users can
sign up for training classes. So, once the User is authorized in the
User Authentication app, I’m redirecting to the calendar app. I need
the Session: which contains the User object to tie the user to a
lesson.

What’s your suggestion for passing this between apps?

Thanks again.

here are some resources that can get you started

(includes a ppt)

although i think for your needs, you could just exploit the RESTful
actions design in Rails. For eg, your Calendar app should request
authentication by specifying a specific controller action in the
Authentication app (using complete URL, As Far As I Know) and your
Authentication app should return the Session hash.
