other Rails apps on same box as Redmine

Right now I have Redmine up and running WOO HOO!!! Couldn't be happier.

As I am using Redmine to show the capabilities of Ruby and Rails, I'd like to install other apps (which I haven't built yet) on the same box. As it stands now, if I navigate to the IP address, I can see Redmine perfectly.

If I create another directory in /var/www, how would I navigate to it since the IP goes right to the /var/www/redmine directory? I am asking here because the LAST thing I want to do is mess up my Redmine install :)

Just like any other website, you can use name based virtual hosts to have multiple applications on the same server. For example I'm hosting my Redmine, my website, and my blog on the same ip address. All Rails applications.

how did you do that tho? Did you set up a file inside sites-available?
I'd like to be able to set it up so that it would be something along the lines of
rubyServer01/redmine
rubyServer01/app1
rubyServer01/app2

Right now I don't have anything in there.

Exactly. Here is part of my Apache 2.2 setup. It includes 3 Ruby on Rails sites with some complex rewrite rules but you should be able to pull our the parts that you need:

Redmine - uses HTTPS
theAdmin blog - at theadmin.org
Little Stream Software - at www.littlestreamsoftware.com

RE: other Rails apps on same box as Redmine - Added by Haider Naqvi about 16 years ago

I am able to setup the rewrites for redmine http://blazesoft.net/projects/. However, redmine is expects css, js here http://blazesoft.net. However, they are at http://blazesoft.net/projects. How do I fix this?
