Multi site with RoR

Rails
1

HI All,

I have just installed rails. Also I have installed spree,spree-multi-
domains gems.

I could run the sample spree app but on the admin of spree could not
find facility to add multi domains, I have googled but could not find
how to create multi domains using rails or spree. If there are any
ruby gems to achieve or any other way please let me know. Below is
what I wanted exactly

  1. A parent domain (ex:www.family.com) with user who adminsters the
    entire system.He should be able to add different sub sites/domains
    ( ex: www.father.family.com, www.mom.family.com, www.son.family.com).

  2. All the sub site/domain needs to have a site administrator who can
    only configure/modfiy his site details.(not the others)

  3. The content of each subsite is stored in same single database
    against the site name.

Please let me know how to achieve this.am In a way stuck

Thanks,
NewROR User

You definitely can. Check out section 3.9 of this:

Of course you are up for some work :wink: Also, not sure if it would help in
your case, but using the rails mountable engines to modularize might
help,
and that also should work into your routing schema (i.e. see the
Railscast
on mountable engines).

Hi all,

Taken a look,But i did not understand on the following

how to create three domains itself in the first place using RoR, ie
create
parent domain (www.family.com) and subdomains (www.father.family.com,
www.son.family.com
http://www.father.family.com,%20www.son.family.com/)
on typing the www.family.com in the browser address bar i should go to
admin domain. how to tell this in routes.rb
on typing the subdomain (Ex www.father.family.com) on browsers address
bar
how I should tell routes to go to subdomain’s front page which is
different from the parent domain’s page.
how to define /where in routes define whats the defulat pages for each
domain.

can you suggest me some good documentation or can u share if something
already exists.

Thanks,
NRoR
