Hello,

I’m launching a small web app that my client wants deployed to  
[domain.com/app](http://domain.com/app). They don’t want to do a subdomain. I am trying to  
figure out how to set the vhost file to tell mod\_rails that [domain.com/](http://domain.com/)  
app is a rails app without effecting the regular website. Any  
suggestions?

Thank you.
