HOW TO: Setting up rails for "shared hosting" on a dedicated box. . .?

[Michael Williams]

Hi All,

As you may already know, A partner and I recently purchased a  
dedicated FreeBSD box.  We're currently using Plesk (blech!) to  
manage client domains and such.  I'm curious though as to what the  
best (most manageable) setup/configuration is for supporting Rails  
for each of our clients.  Basically we want to be our own Shared  
Hosting Rails Provider (for lack of a more appropriate phrase) and  
need to figure out the best server configuration.  Just a bit of an  
FYI, everything is already running on Apache2 so I'd need to share  
Apache2 among all programs (e.g. svn, rails, etc);  as opposed to  
splitting tasks between Apache and Apache2.

If you could point me in the right direction it would be most  
appreciated.

Regards,
Michael
