Multiple Rails on Subdirectories

Posted by Quinn at April 11th, 2008 10:13am under web 0 Comments Permalink

It has been way too long since the last time but I still wanted to play some with RoR. Setting up multiple rails on different directories under one domain was not easy. This is how I came up as the solution to it. I am using Apache virtualhost, mod_rewrite, and mod_proxy.

Ok, we are trying to set up rails for http://example.com/rails1 with http://example.com/ running under Apache.

 

Let's say web directory of example.com is /example.com/ and set up rails at /example.com/rails1.

$ mkdir -p /example.com/rails1
$ rails /example.com/rails1
$ cd /example.com/rails1
$ mongrel_rails -p 3000 start -d

Gotta create .htaccess file at /example.com/, not at /example.com/rails1/. 

RewriteEngine   on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule rails1(.*) http://localhost:3000/rails1$1 [P]

And finally modify config/routes.rb.

map.connect 'rails1/:controller/:action/:id'

Well, this set up fails to show public/index.html. so it's probably not perfect. However, pointing controller after making one WORKS fine. And this actually generates links start with /rails1/. If this is working, another one must work on another directory too. Yay!

Very Strange..

I just got somebody accept my friend request which I didn't. Very Strange.. Is there such a hole in Facebook? 

Pownce Widget

Posted by Quinn at February 16th, 2008 7:38pm under web 0 Comments Permalink

I played around jQuery and Pownce API for the first time yesterday. I made a little widget on my blog to show what's up with me. (A mini blog inside a blog?) Dates are somehow not correct, but this is the closest I could get for the moment. Silly me. And, yes, I should get work on CSS for this blog soon. I suppose, placing the mini-blog at the bottom of a page is not ideal at all. This widget is run by JavaScript so it does not bother much for the structure of a HTML document. I wonder if I should do the same for my Zooomr widget, which is generated by PHP and parsed into a HTML document. By the way, Zooomr seems to be down right now. I know it hasn't be quite smooth on their recent updates but hopefully they are hanging in there for awhile. Anyways, does anybody use Pownce?

Real Fun Begins

Anthony I wasn't good at convincing what REAL FUN of photography is in the last post, I think.. Hopefully, this photo can tell some more about it by itself.

Aso Or, this one? I guess it just has begun. Let's see if something can come out of this adventure.

And, I made a few lines of code to show my photos on my blog from Zooomr site. They are currently shown at the bottom of every page. Well, this it for now. I just can't wait for the next Bashculture show on this Saturday. I hope I can make some great photos. Cheers!
