That's not Rails specific. You need to setup your Apache server to use SSL. I'm not an Apache expert, but I think you have to: - Enable mod_ssl - Setup the port SSL will listen to (The default might be commented on your conf file) - Define your virtualhost for that port.
If your server already has SSL configured, you only need to define your vhost.
Hope it helps.
Thanks pal. Using a single apache with multiple virtual host im able to achieve https and run my run application .
<VirtualHost *:8080>
ServerName somename.com
Options FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$ RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R]
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:443> RailsEnv development <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order deny,allow # Deny from none Allow from all </Directory> ProxyPreserveHost on

Through single server setup im able to achieve this (placing app and db in the server ) works fine. Can u suggest me . How can i achieve this in a three tier architecture . (Web component simple apache , App server containing passenger module with apache pointing the application , db server in a seperate machine ) . Between web,db and app im able to esatblish connection. But with respect to https . When i call from webserver to app internally the URL shifts back to http from https so url breaks up in this case. Any ruby plugin / gum which will support https (SSL) to stay .
