will repost this here:  
Wondering if anyone’s heard of a php script that will ‘forward’ your  
requests on to, say, a mongrel instance, and return it? Kind of a php  
fcgi (mongrel) wrapper? Thoughts?

I’m trying to figure out an ‘easiest’ way to integrate rails and apache.

Thanks.

I’m not sure to understand - what is your current solution ?

Aren’t you using Apache VHost (like here:  
[http://wiki.joyent.com/accelerators:apache\_rails\_mongrel](http://wiki.joyent.com/accelerators:apache_rails_mongrel))  
?

cheers

What I’m looking for is a way to do fcgi on a shared hosting system,  
that doesn’t support fcgi 🙂  
The current solution being cgi (not a solution).
