Steps for deploying play application to a vps (on hostgator)

[codenature]

I have just finished my first play app which I'll love to deploy to my
vps account on hostgator. This server already hosts my other websites
which are developed in php.

I will appreciate your advice on how to go about the deployment
without messing up the other websites on the site.

Thank you.

You probably want a reverse proxy.  Apache can play this role:

If you have something like Varnish in front, that could serve as a reverse proxy instead.

Either way, the "http.path" configuration parameter may be useful:

http://www.playframework.org/documentation/1.2.3/configuration#http.path

For example, if the reverse proxy exposes the application at /foo, this config setting can tell Play to prepend /foo to the URLs it constructs so that the URLs the browser receives will actually work.

In the unlikely event that Play can use a dedicated IP address and/or port, you could also just expose it to the internet directly, without any reverse proxy in front.
