php和ruby一起工作？

Question

I am currently buildind a game with a webclient some devices and a REST server giving everyone objects.

Right now, my webclient is written in php with no frameworks, no problems here, rest client works perfectly. I'm using cakephp2 as a REST server, but i'm new to it, documentation is poor, and the ORM is really strange.

I'm still at begenning, and i want to ship some parts soon. The cakephp2 models and ORM are way too light for me.

My REST server is in one folder of my client website (/API). I know apache ca run ruby, but could it run the same way.

examples : currently : my_web_client/API call Cakephp2 on :80. I wish my_web_client/API call a rails on the same port.

Does apache support this ? Can i run my website this way or do i need 2 websites on separate webhosts ?

I'm assuming you're talking about using Ruby on Rails and deploying with passenger. If these two assumptions are correct, you're in luck, it is possible to have a PHP application running on the same server (and even the same VirtualHost). Check out this section of the passenger documentation.
