Rails

Hi Friends,

I have created a ruby on rails application and its running with
mongrel/phusion passenger . I need to remove/hide the port number 3000
from the URL http://localhost:3000.

Please help me how to proceed for this?

Well the only way your browser will hide the port number is if you’re
using
the default port number for the protocol.

For HTTP, this means port 80.

You’ll need to run your rails application on port 80, or have it proxied
behind another web server (such as Apache) that is running on port 80.

Hi Shaffer,

Thanks for your reply. Yes I am running my application with Phusion
passenger using apache. The apache is running on the port 80. I am able
see the apache test page for the URL http://localhost.

If I start the phusion passenger, by default it takes 3000 port. I am
unable to use the port 80 since its already running for apache.

could you help how can I run my application with the port 80 using
phusion passenger with apache?

Hi,

best solution would be proxy or apache’s virtual host.

Cheers,
Bernd

Easiest way is to use the passenger apache module.

Once you have installed the passenger gem (sounds like you have), you
can
use the “passenger-install-apache2-module” command to install the apache
module.

Check out the documentation here: http://www.modrails.com/install.html
