Rails and PHP Under the Same Domain Name with Fast CGI

Hello,

Inspired by this post, I created the following Apache vhost to be able to run Rails and, inside /app/public, the PHP posh app.

<VirtualHost *:80>     ServerName dev.example.com     DocumentRoot "/home/www/projets.example.com/projets/ portfolio_immigrants/public"

    SuexecUserGroup examplewww examplewww     ScriptAlias /fast-cgi/ /home/www/projets.example.com/cgi-bin2/

    <Directory "/home/www/projets.example.com/projets/ portfolio_immigrants/public">       Options FollowSymLinks       AllowOverride None       Order allow,deny       Allow from all     </Directory>     <Proxy balancer://dev_example_com_cluster>      BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:6080      # BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:6081      # BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:6082     </Proxy>

    ProxyPass /fast-cgi !     ProxyPass /posh !

    RewriteEngine On     RewriteLog "/var/log/httpd-rewrite.log"     RewriteLogLevel 3     RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d     RewriteRule ^(.+[^/])$ $1/ [R]     RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} \.php     RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1 [QSA,L]     RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f     RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.html -f     RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1/index.html [QSA,L]     RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f     RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.php -f

    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1/index.php [QSA,L]     RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d     RewriteRule ^(.*)[^/]$ $1/ [QSA,L]     RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f     RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ balancer://dev_example_com_cluster%{REQUEST_URI} [P,QSA,L] </VirtualHost>

I'm running on the server FreeBSD, Apache2, FastCGI, SuExec, Rails 2.0.2 and Mongrel.

The problem is that I can't find a way to makes mod_rewrite ignore the /fast-cgi/ ScriptAlias. Thus, when looking at the mod_rewrite log, I see the following:

init rewrite engine with requested uri /fast-cgi/php5.fcgi/posh/ index.php applying pattern '^(.+[^/])$' to uri '/fast-cgi/php5.fcgi/posh/ index.php' applying pattern '^(.*)$' to uri '/fast-cgi/php5.fcgi/posh/index.php' rewrite '/fast-cgi/php5.fcgi/posh/index.php' -> '/fast-cgi/php5.fcgi/ posh/index.php' local path result: /fast-cgi/php5.fcgi/posh/index.php prefixed with document_root to /home/www/projets.example.com/projets/ portfolio_immigrants/public/fast-cgi/php5.fcgi/posh/index.php go-ahead with /home/www/projets.example.com/projets/ portfolio_immigrants/public/fast-cgi/php5.fcgi/posh/index.php [OK]

I have tried with ProxyPass /fast-cgi ! with no success. The Rails app works fine.

TIA

Ok, I finally figured out the solution.

Simply add this rule at the top of the mod_rewrite rules.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/fast-cgi/ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1 [QSA,L,PT]

QSA = query string append L = stop processing after this rule PT = passthrough, let ScriptAlias handle the request
