The exact answer depends on what how you are running rails and php.
The simplest solution is probably just to run apache/php on the same
hostname but a different port.  But if apache is already out in front
of your rails app somewhere, you could just use a simple Alias command
or something similar.  The solution is fairly simple, but depends on
your exact setup.
