Rails 3 - 2 projects on localhost suddenly?

I would need to have run 2 projects in Rails (v. 3) on my localhost. I use WEBrick - is it possible?

In this time I have to switch among 2 or 3 projects my server and it's a bit uncomfortable - so - it's possible to work on more projects with WEBrick suddenly?

Thank you

Solution

  • Use multiple ports. The first instance, you can run on, say 80. The second, you run on 81.
    You can open one tab with localhost:80 (or just localhost), and another tab with localhost:81 in your browser.

    (If you're using ports below 1000 or so on a Mac, you need to have administrator rights: use sudo.)
