How to config Rails as subdirectory of WordPress – Apache

I’m like to config my apache server to run WordPress on the main page and my Rails app on subdirectory. I mean:

mysite.com -> go to WordPress

mysite.com/app -> go to Rails

How can I accomplish this?

    <VirtualHost>
    ServerName mysite.com

    ProxyPass / https://localhost:8000/
    ProxyPassReverse / https://localhost:8000/


    ProxyPass /app http://localhost:3000/
    ProxyPassReverse /app http://localhost:3000/
</VirtualHost>

    From Apache:

    In addition to being a “basic” web server, and providing static and dynamic content to end-users, Apache httpd (as well as most other web servers) can also act as a reverse proxy server, also-known-as a “gateway” server.

    In such scenarios, httpd itself does not generate or host the data,
    but rather the content is obtained by one or several backend servers,
    which normally have no direct connection to the external network. As
    httpd receives a request from a client, the request itself is proxied
    to one of these backend servers, which then handles the request,
    generates the content and then sends this content back to httpd, which
    then generates the actual HTTP response back to the client.

    So your backend will be running two separate servers: WordPress and Rails. We just essentially change the relevant port and pass the request through. Then the content is returned to Apache and Apache generates the correct HTTP response.
