Ruby on Rails

Yea, I would even consider keeping the existing PHP app at "www.xyz.com" and making your Rails app "services.xyz.com" or something like that

But Walter's hack might work. Alternatively there's some fancy mod_rewrite I'm sure apache will do to direct request to the right app.

But consider that PHP and Rails are mostly different technologies and you should have no expectation that they will work "together" -- what you're trying to do is a hack and probably should only be done if absolutely necessary and/or as a band-aid fix.

Just make sure that you don't clobber any of your routes, and it should work fine. If you're not hitting the same database with PHP and Rails, you could possibly get away with as little as that.
