I’m doing the opposite on Dreamhost… I have a wordpress blog in the public folder of my Rails application. Everything seems to work just fine there. I don’t recall if I had to do anything special to make that work… I believe that the default htaccess worked fine, as the php page were handled by Apache instead of the dispatch.fcgi. ---

If your webserver is configured for rails but also for php then you can just put any php files or apps in your public dir and they will just work. -Ezra On Mar 7, 2006, at 7:29 AM, Hogan, Brian P. wrote: > From: removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid [mailto:rails- > But, if you want some links/pages/content to use PHP and some to > > to rewrite them to work with Rails as, well, I don’t see the point in > or point me to some interesting links on the topic?

That’s not the issue here really. The webserver can run both PHP and Rails apps, I just want to be able to have them running as part of the same app, same look-and-feel without having to maintain two sets of templates.

I’m not aware of an easy way to re-use Rails’ layouts/views in PHP; or vice-versa.
