Just leaving this here as a quick guide to installing multiple ruby instances on an Apache server.

• Follow this guide up to step 5 (but don’t do step 5)*: http://blog.ninjahideout.com/posts/a-guide-to-a-nginx-passenger-and-rvm-server
• Then run through this guide: http://blog.phusion.nl/2010/09/21/phusion-passenger-running-multiple-ruby-versions/

* Just a note on Step 2 you have to run a bash command using a url, I found that link didn’t work so you will probably need to run the following instead:
bash <( curl -L https://github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/raw/1.3.0/contrib/install-system-wide ) --version '1.3.0'
