I have a similar problem, but I am on shared hosting and I do not have
access to httpd.conf, only to the local .htaccess files. I have the static
plugin set up so we are delivering HTML, image files and other static pages
via Catalyst, but similarly to Alejandro I would like to serve up the pages
directly from Apache.
I have tried using mod_rewrite but it seems to be an invention of the
Adversary designed to lead us into despair. Has anyone managed to serve
static files directly using just .htaccess?
