Integration of PHP and a Rails app

My rails app is up and running in a Mongrel cluster going through Apache. I also want a PHP forum to run in a subdirectory of my domain.

I've installed PHP per http://ca3.php.net/manual/en/install.unix.apache2.php

root@bender [~/apache/conf]# ~/apache/bin/apachectl -M

Syntax OK
I've added this to httpd.conf as described in that document.
<FilesMatch \.php$>
  SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>
I've also tried:
AddType application/x-httpd-php php
and adding it to mime.types.

When I access a test file at forum/hello.php, it prompts me to download it rather executing it.

I also tried adding this rule which I had on my shared hosting:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/forum.*
RewriteRule .* - [L]
With this rule, the file returns 403.

I could see that your app is under the /root directory. It would be better if you create a user and put your app under the user's home directory. Also change the DocumentRoot in the apache vhost entry and put the following rewrite rule.

-------------
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/forum.*
RewriteRule .* - [L]

Then you'll be able to access your php pages without any issues.
