RailsEnv per virtualhost
Tim Uckun
production. I want to add a third one and run it as staging so I
removed the RailsEnv production from the module conf and added it to
each of the virtual host directives.
What happens is that phusion is using the last railsenv it processes
for all the virtual hosts (like setting it globally).
I am using passenger 2.03 on ubuntu and apache 2.2.8

I posted the same question a few weeks ago, but couldn't find a better
solution than have to restart the apache everytime I switch the env.
Here's my thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/phusion-passenger/browse_thread/thread/1e36a05a2bcb2d5a/0ebad6293743cae2?lnk=gst&q=railsenv+vhost#0ebad6293743cae2
Maybe this time someone has a better idea?
Cheers,

I keep seeing references to the fact that railsenv is supposed to work
on a per virtualhost. The documentation says it's supposed to work on
a per virtualhost basis.
Perhaps there is some other setting that needs to be tweaked in order
to make it work.
In my case I can't use the reboot trick because all sites have to be
up all the time.

1) Run a second instance of apache on a separate port?
2) Set RAILS_ENV w/in your environment.rb...you can do it conditionally by figuring out what host and/or directory you're in.
Totally missing the specifics of your question, but it might get you going.

yes, it's supposed to work on per virtualhost, but I guess the problem
(or bug) is, that both of your virtual hosts point to the same app. If
you check passenger-memory-stats, you see that the spawner of
passenger differentiates the apps by their app root. So two vhosts,
two different app roots, and each a different railsenv should work
fine, I guess. I know, it's a pity that it's not working as expected.
Levi,
what do you mean with a second instance of apache? Do you mean a
second apache installation?
I know you can tell apache to listen on a different/extra port and
define an extra vhost for that, but at the end would just be another
vhost, too. But would be interesting to see, if the behaviour changes.
I might give that a try.

Steffen

Actually that's not the case. In my case they are different app roots
too. One is in /var/www/application and other in
/var/www/application_staging.
So in my case it's two different roots, two different vhosts two
different (supposedly) environments.
BTW I did an ugly hacky workaround with capistrano. Here is what I did.
task :after_update_code, :roles => :app do
run "rm -rf #{release_path}/public/.htaccess"
run %Q( sed -i "s/#SED_ME/RAILS_ENV = 'staging'/"
#{release_path}/config/environment.rb )
end
As you can see I call out to sed to replace the #SED_ME comment with
the RAILS_ENV call.

Is this problem fixed with the new version of phusion? Can we specify
a different rails env for different applications?

RailsEnv per virtual host has been supported since June 2008 with
version 1.9.0.
