Howdy,
I’m trying to use both Mephisto and Beast for a website. The way I see
it, I have two options:
- Run them as separate apps (any advice on how to do this?)
- Integrate them (anyone have some tips on this?)
Thanks for any help.

I run them separately. The mephisto site on www.foo.com, and the
forum at forum.foo.com.

Somehow, I get the impression that you know a lot about Mephisto and
Beast. Thanks for the advice.

Even running them separately, I’d have to combine their migrations and
databases, right?
No if you use separate databases for them.

Not to get off topic, but I’ve been looking for blog and forum
software to integrate into an existing site. Beast doesn’t seem to be
used all that much and I ran into a couple of bugs right from the
start. Mephisto I was just about to download and check out.
Anyone have other suggestions? Integration of the authentication
system with an existing rails site is a major consideration, along
with being able to change the look and feel.

Can’t help you with an integrated blog solution yet.
But Savage Beast is essentially the Beast forum without
authentication, in an rails engine incarnation, with an additional
polymorphic “has many” added for dash (so you can associate forums
with, well, whatever). And since it’s a rails engine you can over-
ride views, controllers, etc.
SB was extracted from my integration efforts with the Soup - (you can
see it in action http://the-soup.net/ventures/1/forums/1). Since then
I’ve integrated into another railsers commercial site.
blogged here: http://www.nnovation.ca/2007/5/18/savage-beast
the docs still suck, but someone with a little rails knowledge can
integrate nicely quite quickly. The demo app currently serves as
documentation.

other one?
The client I was working for recently really wanted to use a
ruby/rails based forum and blog. In the end we used punbb for the
forum and a typepad blog. Mephisto isn’t bad, but beast is just not
anywhere close to the php forums that are out there. Both in terms of
how nice it looks, how easy it is to customize, and the features.
Plus it’s not really under active development that I could tell. Not
trying to knock it, but it is what it is. I chose punbb over phpbb
simply because it’s a lot cleaner and smaller, while still having a
ton of features.

I’m looking into running them as separate apps with separate databases,
but how can I do that? Right now this is what I have:
Combo (directory)
- blog app
- forums app
Where should I run the server so that it knows about both? Or should I
run it inside one of these apps, and somehow use routing to get to the
other one?
Any help is appreciated.

You’re going to need at least one application server per
application. You can front the whole lot with a single web server
though.
The easiest way is to run each application on a different subdomain,
e.g. blog.foo.com and forums.foo.com.
Hope that helps.
