If you go to use Passenger (mod\_rails) the process is very simple,  
just follow these instructions:

I would recommend SliceHost’s articles on anything from Ruby on Rails  
installations to Apache configurations to get a handle on things.

Everytime i look for articles about Apache and rails application i  
always  
find the same…

what i need is:

i have a normal application at a real folder at “folder1” to be servered  
by  
apache, so i go to browser type ip/folder1 and everything is fine!

But now, i want to server a rails applications, and if a create a  
virtalhost  
the url ip/folder1 is no longer avaliable…

So, i need to be able to do 3 things:

1. when i browse the server\_ip is to show up the apache default index

2. when i browse the server\_ip/folder1 is to show up the html that is  
already working

3. when i browse the server\_ip/rails\_app is to show up the rails app  
servered by webrick or mongrel

Any hint about that?

Thanks, guys!
