Hi guys 🙂

1st of all I’m still new with ruby and just following some tutorial to  
build with ruby language and ruby on rails. Before this I just bootup  
the webrick web server for development.

Things come up, and I want to integrate my RoR project within apache  
web server. So i’m googling around and found this article from  
wiki@rubyonrails [http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/RailsOnCentos5](http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/RailsOnCentos5)

is it possible i integrate php and ruby on rails with the same web  
server n folder like /var/www/html

thanks in advance 🙂

Don’t know how it’s set up, but the hosting provider I use comes with  
Rails and PHP integration, which means I could run PHP pages on my  
Rails /public directory.

yes it’s possible.  
have a look at passenger [http://www.modrails.com/](http://www.modrails.com/)

I do exactly that with my Xen server using Passenger, and both  
applications run fine, the Rails app is a little slow on the first  
request but all in all its a nicer cleaner solution than mod\_proxy and  
several mongrels. Oh and the installer makes everything a doddle.

Thanks for the link guys, I will try that 🙂

I think apache should have mod\_ruby just like apache do with php 😛
