@abhic I created a plugin that does exactly this.

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/rails-integration-api/

This is easy to do with Apache:

• Set up an alias for the URL you want wordpress to have.
• Create a proxy pass exception for that path.
• Proxy everything else to Rails.

That will look like this. Taken from my Apache config:

Alias /blog /home/other_content/blog
<Directory /home/other_content/blog>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

ProxyPass /blog !

ProxyPass / balancer://mycluster/
ProxyPassReverse / balancer://mycluster/

BTW, I’ve uploaded a new WordPress plugin to do single sign-on with Rails. Search for ‘rails’ in the plugin directory.

@jd.hartley: Ditto!

@markjaquith: Your comment implies that v 2.1.2 works with WP 2.6. But the plugin page says it does not. ??

Hmm… would there be a way to hack the image viewer to filter out images not uploaded by the current user? Is any metadata, such as the uploading-user, stored with images?

Yes, I agree – (for 2.3) – I have two WordPress instances sharing the same database, except for the options table. In the “second” instance, users get the insufficient permissions error. I don’t know how it is discriminating between the two set ups.
