So, in the Websites control panel area, I have my Rails website already pointing to the mydomain.com subdomain, and my Site apps configured for my Rails app, and the / URL path.

When I try to add a new site to the mydomain.com subdomain, and then add the "redirector" Static/CGI/PHP app, I get an error message since my main app is already configured similarly. What is the proper way to set this up?

First remove mydomain.com from the site that is serving the Rails app, then create the new site to serve your redirect app from mydomain.com.

First I had to click Domains under Domains/Websites, and then choose to edit my domain. Then I added a new subdomain for www.mydomain.com, and then applied my main application to www.mydomain.com and the redirector Static/CGI/PHP app to the non-www mydomain.com.
