Live chat on Rails app through Faye but on Passenger with Apache

Our website is currently running our Rails web app on Passenger with Apache.

Recently, there is a requirement to do live chatting. As such we are planning to deploy Faye by following this article (http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-use-faye-as-a-real-time-push-server-in-rails--net-22600).

However, since Apache does not support websocket, we are not able to use any of such implementation.

We preferred not to change the webserver since additional effort for testing and migration will be involve. Is there any other way to get around this problem?

Appreciate any helps from Rails expert out that.

Don't know the answer, though somewhere I read that you should use redis for faye to run it with apache/passenger beacuse they can't be run in single process and share memory, checkout faye-redis gem. Than probably faye server should be run as separate process, and Apache configured to send ':9292/faye' to it.
