nginx and rails configuration question

[Francisco Valladolid]

Hi Cathal, ..

You need two mongrel cluster instances, one per each rails app ok!

eg:

upstream mongrel_app_1 {
    server 127.0.0.1:8000;
    server 127.0.0.1:8001;
    server 127.0.0.1:8002;
  }

upstream mongrel_app2_2 {
    server 127.0.0.1:9000;
    server 127.0.0.1:9001;
    server 127.0.0.1:9002;
  }

Currently I'm hosting two rails app in my OpenBSD server.

Regards.
