Rails and php mixed

Rails
1

Hi,

I have a rails site hosted in a mediatemple DV plan. I am not using
mongrels as web server, instead i am using passenger and it works
great.

Now what i want to do, is to host a PHP legacy site inside my public’s
rails folder, so any user can acces the rails site using for example
www.misite.com and acces the PHP site using www.misite.com/phpsite/

I have search for this on the internet and try differents ways but
without any luck… any idea about how can i do this?

Regrads

Note: Just in case, each domain is located in a vhost directory
(mediatemple Dv default config)

Don’t do it that way. Put the Rails and PHP sites in separate
directories on the server. Set up a separate virtual host (say,
phpsite.misite.com ) for the PHP site (you can do this in your Web
server configuration).

Perfect, then…you’ve already got your vhost. If you really want URLs
of the form www.misite.com/phpsite, then set up a redirect.

Hi,

ok, but that where i have to put that redirect sentence? i mean,
in .htaccess file inside public rails app, or inside php site folder,
or in my www.site.com vhost file, or in httpd.conf file?

i am bit confused here.

Cheers

Hi,

yes i need to use that URL form(www.misite.com/phpsite and
ww.misite.com), but where i have put that redirect sentence? i mean,
in .htaccess file inside my rails app’s public folder?, or inside php
app folder?, 
or in my domain vhost file, or in httpd.conf file?

I have tryed to put some “rewrite” rules in all that files i have just
sayed(and restart apeche), but none of them worked. Can you tell me
how that redirect could be donde and where i have to put it?

regards

Well, you’re redirecting from www.misite.com/phpsite. That means you
need to put the redirect in the part of the Web server that’s processing
that URL.

What’s confusing about it? All that a redirect does is intercept a
request and send it somewhere else.
