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](http://www.misite.com) and acces the PHP site using [www.misite.com/phpsite/](http://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) ---

Put the Rails and PHP sites in separate directories on the server. Set up a separate virtual host (say, [phpsite.misite.com](http://phpsite.misite.com) ) for the PHP site (you can do this in your Web server configuration). > 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) Perfect, then…you’ve already got your vhost. If you really want URLs of the form [www.misite.com/phpsite](http://www.misite.com/phpsite), then set up a redirect. ## Best, Marnen Laibow-Koser [http://www.marnen.org](http://www.marnen.org) removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid ---

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](http://www.site.com) vhost file, or in httpd.conf file? i am bit confused here.

Hi, yes i need to use that URL form([www.misite.com/phpsite](http://www.misite.com/phpsite) and [ww.misite.com](http://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](http://www.misite.com/phpsite). That means you need to put the redirect in the part of the Web server that’s processing that URL. > i am bit confused here. What’s confusing about it? All that a redirect does is intercept a request and send it somewhere else. > Cheers ## Best, Marnen Laibow-Koser [http://www.marnen.org](http://www.marnen.org) removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid
