Hi All,

We have a RoR app, SQLite, and mongrel and we are considering moving to  
apache.  
Our current RoR app listens on port 80 and works fine. I installed  
apache to listen on port 7002, then installed an app called Munin that  
displays performance data, but I cannot get apache to serve up the  
pages.  
I realize this is not a RoR question, but I think RoR is somehow  
over-riding the rendering of Munin. The is the routing error I get when  
I goto [http://myip/munin](http://myip/munin) or when I goto [http://myip:7002](http://myip:7002), it times out.

Routing Error

No route matches “/usr/local/www/munin” with {:method=\>:get}

httpd.log:  
Fri Jan 8 15:33:35 2010] [info] (2)No such file or directory:  
make\_sock: for address 69.55.236.89 port 7002, setso  
ckopt: (SO\_ACCEPTFILTER)

Will anyone help or suggest a fix(s) and also provide any good resources  
(online or books) for moving to Apache from Mongrel?

thank you!  
derek

You may want to look into mod\_rewrite

For mongrel deployment behind apache, you might want to check out:  
[http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/wiki/Apache](http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/wiki/Apache)

Instead of mongrel, you may want to look at deploying via passenger:

Yup. It’s hard to think of a good reason to use Mongrel with Apache  
these days.
