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

Question

Hi,

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 as another.

Or are there any other solutions?

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