How to deploy multiple rails app on a single IP (Apache + Passenger)?

I want to deploy multiple rails app on a single server. If I had a domain name, I would have easily done that using subdomains as server name in virtual hosts.

My problem is that I do not have a domain name. Can I do something like

70.42.89.11/app_1 as one server name and 70.42.89.11/app_2开发者_如何学C as another.

Or are there any other solutions?

Yes. The Passenger guide calls this "Deploying to a Sub URI"

http://www.modrails.com/documentation/Users%20guide%20Apache.html#deploying_rack_to_sub_uri

Additionally, you could set up a standard virtual host setup and use your hosts file to make up a domain you like. This would only work for testing of course, as anyone who wanted to see the apps would need to have the same entries in their hosts file, but would be fine for development.

Domains don't need to be hosted in the domain name system to be useable for virtual hosting.
