[OT-ish] Rails, Mongrel and apache

Rails
1

This is kind of off topic. I want to put my fancy rails app (myapp) as
a subdirectory on my os x server. so my osx server works fine right now
as www.mydomain.com. How do I tell apache (1.3 i think) to proxy web
requests for a subdirectory /myapp to localhost:3000 where I have
mongrel running (Jed, you rock)?

I googled, but I don’t know the right words to use, so I’m not getting
far. I know mod_proxy comes in to play some where. That’s as far as I
can get.

read http://manuals.textdrive.com/read/book/9 and replace lighttpd with
mongrel…

In addition to Mikkel’s information you can read a little write-up I did
with how to do a small cluster based on lighttpd and Mongrel:

http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/lighttpd.html

OT: Someone told me that Apache can’t do mod_proxy to a group of
servers.
Is this actually true?

Thanks for the info, and for Mongrel itself. As a “brian” who has been
called “Kevin” all his life, I should have done better (especially since
I’ve been to your site a hundred times over the last week)

Sorry for the gsub. And Mongrel really does rock.

“Whose web server is this?”

“It’s a web application server, baby.”

“Whose web application server is this?”

“It’s Zed’s.”
