If you’re using the Facebooker SSH tunnels along with Phusion Passenger, you may run into an issue where you have multiple Rails apps running on your machine at different subdomains. Unfortunately, when facebook makes a request to your tunnel, it’s passed through on port 80 to your local machine and Apache chooses the first defined virtual host to serve the request, which may or may not be the one you want.
An easy solution is to use a ServerAlias directive in your vhost file that matches up with your tunnel domain.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName my.local.rails.app.localhost
ServerAlias my.tunnel.domain
DocumentRoot /path/to/rails/app/public
</VirtualHost>
This works because the tunnel will pass the request through to your machine without changing any of the request headers. So, they come through with the Host header set to the tunnel domain, and Apache will match it to your server alias.

After I initially commented I clicked the -Notify me when new feedback are added- checkbox and now every time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any way you may take away me from that service? Thanks!
