Multiple Rail Servers

Question

Can I run multiple applications on the same computer at the same time? I need to run one, but I would like to debug and test the other without disconnecting the first.

thanks

Answer 1

And yet, run them on a different port:

rails server -p 3001 

Answer 2

several ways:

 # start on port 3000 rails server #start on 3001, get to on http://localhost:3001 rails server -p 3001 

Use http://pow.cx

• http://server1.dev
• http://server2.dev

Answer 3

That's right. Probably the easiest way to do this is to use virtual hosts if you are using Apache.

Answer 4

You have some standard options, but the most common are Passenger for OS X and Linux and pow for OS X.

You can also use rails server for different port numbers and leave it in the background if you are looking for something fast and dirty.
