Ruby On Rails SSL and cPanel

[roy2098]

I'm able to successfully install and run multiple Ruby on Rails applications (notably Redmine) on this (CentOS-54) cPaneled server. What I cannot do, although I've tried mightily, is to run the below Rubies via SSL.

I'm not an RoR or Apache guru by any means, I know enough to get by and then some...

While these work fine:

Example Web Page
Example Web Page

I can also get this to work:

http://subdomain1.example.com
http://subdomain2.example.com

via redirects

What I really want and need is:

https://example.com:12001
https://example.com:12002

or

https://subdomain1.example.com
https://subdomain2.example.com

There are scattered pieces of info around the 'net but very few apply to a cPaneled server. Can someone please help? Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Sorry to bring up this thread, but I wondered if you ever solved this, or if anyone else knwos how?

I just installed a Geotrust SSL certificate, but cannot figure out how to get it to work with Ruby, since it is on port 12xxx.

I love using Rails, and am so glad that CPanel has enabled it now, but it is a dealbreaker for using Rails if I can't use SSL with it, since I'm developing an e-commerce application.

So how can this be done?

You could try NGASI Rails Mgr with cPanel.
The Rails Manager setups RoR to be proxied by Apache.
This enables access via the standard ports (80 and 443).
ngasi.com is the site

Hi,

Thanks. I actually ended up using passenger instead, and it works great.

Would it be possible to provide some insight as to the procedure used to install redmine? Most importantly did you log in via root to install it, or did you do it via ssh as a cpanel user? etc?

Also do you use git or svn with it?

It took along time to get redmine installed on my server, but it can't get it to see the files for the repository... and on a side note, I think I may have installed it the more complicated route and incorrectly for a cpanel server.

Thank you in advance.
