Using mod_rails to host multiple apps under SSL, same domain

Question

I'm trying to get multiple rails apps hosted under the same domain, but different directories. My configuration before attempting to host multiple apps (which works great), looks like this:

<VirtualHost *:443>
    ServerName secure.mydomain.com 
    DocumentRoot /root/store/public
</VirtualHost>

I google'd around and found documentation suggesting I use the following configuration:

<VirtualHost *:443>
    ServerName secure.mydomain.com
    DocumentRoot /root
    RailsBaseURI /store/public
    RailsBaseURI /store2/public                
</VirtualHost>

That configuration, however, only causes my directory structure to be revealed, and no app appears to run. Any advice would be great!

Not sure what you found on the Googles, but you might want to re-read the mod_rails docs on Deploying to sub URIs

I'm guessing you'll need to create some symbolic links (aliases) in your /root directory to the public folder of each application

ln -s /store/public /root/store
