Hi Everybody! I need some help with a RoR Server I am setting up… I need to run multiple rails applications on one server, each app with it’s own domain ([www.app1.org](http://www.app1.org), [www.app2.org](http://www.app2.org) etc)… I think Nginx is more suitable for this than apache, so I’m trying to figure out what to do (I always deployed on apache machines). I’m going to use capistrano/deprec for the stack installation and application deployment, but I don’t think there is any ‘standard’ recipe that fits my situation, so was thinking to use the custom recipes found at [http://wiki.slicehost.com/doku.php?id=capistrano\_recipe\_and\_howto\_for\_rails\_mongrel\_and\_nginx](http://wiki.slicehost.com/doku.php?id=capistrano_recipe_and_howto_for_rails_mongrel_and_nginx) (i’m not on slicehost but should work anyway) and change them according to my needs… My idea was to write an add\_application task to deploy the app, but customizing the configure\_nginx so that if the nginx.conf file is already on the server (created by another application) it just adds a virtual host to the file insteas of overwriting it… Is this a viable solution or is there an easier/better way to do this? Any feedback would be appreciated… Filippo (Thanks to jonmagic for the recipes… As a beginner I found them very useful.)
