Is this even possible?

I have a Rails app running on Passenger and a mod_perl site that need to run on the same server. I’ve tried setting up two VirtualHosts and I’ve tried just using one VH and an Alias/Location for the mod_perl. In both cases, Passenger tries to serve the mod_perl app and tells me it can’t find the correct files. Anyone know what I’m doing wrong?

Here’s my setup atm:

NameVirtualHost *:80 RailsAutoDetect off <VirtualHost *:80>    DocumentRoot (home of rails app)/public    RailsBaseURI / </VirtualHost>   PerlModule Apache::DBI  PerlRequire /opt/rt3/bin/webmux.pl   Alias /rt /opt/rt3/share/html <== mod_perl app <Location /rt>   AddDefaultCharset UTF-8   SetHandler perl-script   PerlHandler RT::Mason </Location>

  1. Well, for right now I’ve just set them up as two different VirtualHosts using different ports to connect. That works, but it’s a little messy for my site to use and if anyone has a better idea, I’m all ears. Thanks.

    Edit: Got it working! I ended up setting up two VirtualServers on different ports, then used mod-proxy to redirect traffic to the /rt site to the mod-perl VirtualServer (leaving the Passenger one as the default). This works great, and best of all my mod_perl site believes it’s still in the same place as Passenger, which smooths out a lot of compatibility issues I was dealing with as well. I knew I was missing something simple! Just putting this up in case anyone else is having issues with this.
