Point a local domain to localhost:3000

Question

Hey, I would love to point a local domain to localhost:3000 or other ports on which I am running my Wubrick instances (for Rails)

I can not find an apache2 config to point a local domain to these wubrick instances (or simply localhost:3000). Can some one please help me with that?

Regards,
Nikhil Gupta

Answer 1

OK. Found the solution, as below:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    ServerName rails.new
    ServerAlias www.rails.new rails
    PassengerEnabled Off
    ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:3000/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:3000/
</VirtualHost>
