I'm a newb when it comes to Rails and Capistrano, and i'm building my first "real" app...

I am going to have a forum and a blog integrated in my Rails app and I have a lot of experience with WordPress and phpbb, so naturally i was going to use those platforms.

So i'm going to ping the list for some information:

1.  Is it hard to integrate the PHP code and simply use a subdomain for each app?  (i.e. blog.domain.com, forum.domain.com)

If I were in your shoes, I'd probably just use an apache VirtualHost directive for each full host name.  The PHP ones would just set a DocumentRoot and the rails ones would set up a mod_proxybalancer situation.  If you don't need SSL it should be pretty simple.  If you do need SSL coming up with a cert that works for all the hosts is something that I've still been unable to pull off.

I still haven't used nginx though (/me hangs head in shame), so maybe it's even easier there.
