I wrote up a blog post on how I managed to get several ‘instances’ of sequenceserver running at the same time for different sets of databases under Apache with Phusion Passenger

We have it set up like this as we have multiple genome projects and until they are in draft form / published we prefer to keep them private but have collaborators outside of the lab…
It seems to work! Hope it might be helpful for others to follow along…
