I have built a webshop in rails, now it’s time for invoice handling  
through a third party. The communication will be done by xml-rpc. The  
built in ruby xml-rpc doesnt seem to be compatible with the third party  
so I have to use a special php-script (provided by the third party) that  
will handle the interaction with them. Where on the server should/can I  
put the script? I would prefer to have it in railsapp/app or  
railsapp/public, but that doesnt seem to work.

Rails 1.1  
Lighttpd  
SCGI

sorry… this issue is really important to me. I’m therefore going to be  
rude and bump up this thread.

You’ll need to configure Lighttpd for php. There’s an example config  
here:  
[http://www.jerrett.net/entry/lighttpd\_rails\_and\_php](http://www.jerrett.net/entry/lighttpd_rails_and_php)

You should be able to put the script anywhere under railsapp/public.
