one rails app, multiple domains (via alias domains)
Short version:
Is there any problem with serving a rails app from multiple domain names by simply creating an Alias Server and adding another $HTTP["host"] entry to your rails/lighttpd conf file (in ~/etc/lighttpd/vhosts.d/APPNAME.conf)?
Long version:
Here's the deal:
on the default virtual server created when you purchase a shared webhosting plan (USERNAME.textdrive.com) I've got a rails app installed and running off of fcgi.
Here's the .conf file for my particular rails app that gets included into the main lighttpd.conf file:
After that, simply kill and restart the lighttpd process
