helping php and ruby on rails coexist - php

Question

I have a RoR app running on a server using Apache as the web server. I also have an instnace of moodle, an LMS based on PHP running. I have placed the web root of moodle inside the RoR space and for the most part it is working ok.
Inside moodle, if I go to sitename.com/moodle/my RoR intercepts that request and reports that it cannot find the page. If I go to sitename.com/moodle/my/index.php it works fine.
I tried creating a new virtual server but adding a second server running on 443 didnt work (the RoR based site is all under ssl).
Does anyone know of a way to tell RoR to ignore the moodle dir or get RoR to automatically detect and append the index.php to the path.

Answer 1

Me to had a same issue below is the apache2 config for the same kind of issue as describe below.
Example folder is the rails application folder and "/en/blog" are the folder path in public folder of rails application in which i had a wordpress install so below configuration allow's apache to turn off passenger for a request made to "http:/example.com/en/blog" so this request is not process by passenger and this request is service as a normal php request so i was able to have a wordpress blog and a rails application running on same server.
# !!! Be sure to point DocumentRoot to 'public'!
DocumentRoot /var/www/example/public
#RailsEnv production
<Directory /var/www/example/public>
# This relaxes Apache security settings.
AllowOverride all
# MultiViews must be turned off.
