How to use Webrick server

Rails
1

I am using Webrick to start my rails application.
Instead of using http://localhost:3000, i want to access
http://www.domain.com.
How can i achieve this using Webrick Server ?

You can specify the port number using the --port switch:
$ sudo ruby script/server --port=80
See --help for more options.

I didn’t want to change the port.
I am specifying the address http://localhost:portno (or)
http://0.0.0.0:portno (or) http://hostname:portno to start my
application using the browser.

I need to specify it by http://appname (or) http://www.appname.com
How is it possible ?

This for Apache server (httpd.conf)

ServerName www.example.com ServerAlias example.com DocumentRoot "/usr/example/" ServerName www.example2.com ServerAlias example2.com DocumentRoot "/usr/example2/"

I need the simillar for Webrick.

Regardless of how you set up WEBrick with a virtual host (no idea how
this is done, not a WEBrick user), you will need to change your port. I
don’t think you can ask a web browser to listen to anything other than
port 80 unless you specify it in your url, or use a proxy.
