Feature request: Suexec for rails

[thijs]

I read the part about Suexec in the wiki, it's a bit cumbersome compared with the default Rails vhost template setup.

It would be great if the Rails context screen would have an option to set the user and group for the Ruby processes.

It is controled by the ownership of the public/ directory of your rails application. It should be less problemetic this way. Just make sure the file ownership and permission has been set properly, you should do that no matter what, less configuration work and less chance of misconfiguration.

Wow, what a great feature.

I could have noticed it if I had looked at ps aux, but I didn't and I ran into some permission problems because I assumed the user would be the same for the webserver and rails processes by default. Maybe this is something to put in the Help?
