These two pages from the mongrel website on [http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/wiki/Apache Apache Best Practice Deployment] and [http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/mongrel_cluster.html Using Mongrel Cluster] are pretty good how-tos for mongrel. But we will also take you through it here, with specific directions and Umlaut recommendations and pit-falls we ran into.
Alternatively, based on Ross Singer's recommendation, scotdalton is using [http://code.macournoyer.com/thin/ thin] and Apache at NYU. The setup is almost identical to mongrel and is detailed at [[Umlaut Deployment with Thin and Apache]]

# ProxyPassReverse /findit balancer://umlaut_cluster/findit/

====SSL/https====
If you are setting up apache to allow https requests, it should still proxy to an http mongrel as above, because mongrel doesn't speak http. However, you should include this line in the relevant SSL virtual host, to set the request header to let the Rails app know it's fronted by ssl:
RequestHeader set X_FORWARDED_PROTO 'https'
