Redirecting to wordpress or drupal

[hm]

Hi,

How can we redirect certain URLs to a different application in
mod_rails? This is possible with mongrel. Here is how.

You can use mod_rewrite with Passenger; you need to double check that .htaccess in public/ folder of your rails application is not "harmful" (e.g. redirecting to dispatch.cgi), or simply delete public/.htaccess, and then enable 

RailsAllowModRewrite on

and you're safe to use mod_rewrite rules.

Thanks so much. It worked. So my conf file looks something like:
RailsAllowModRewrite on
RewriteRule ^/drupal/?(.*)$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/drupal/$1 [NC,QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^/wp/?(.*)$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/wordpress/$1 [NC,QSA,L]

Right now I have installed my wordpress and drupal in the public
folder of my rails application. Is there a way I can move them to the
root of my apache (/var/www/html) and point the RewriteRule to that
path? I am guessing I have to modify the DOCUMENT_ROOT path. But
specifying like %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/../../wordpress/ didn't work. Any
idea how to specify the path correctly?
