Comment (by Richard Davies <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>):
Let me quickly explain the logic of the setup that I mentioned in comment
16 (note that this copies the _standard_ way to set up Rails with
Lighttpd, it isn't something that I invented myself!).
Compared to the Django lighttpd config at
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/fastcgi/#lighttpd-setup , the
directories are "inside out".
That config has MEDIA_ROOT/MEDIA_URL as a subdirectory of the site on the
webserver, and uses url rewriting to handle media such as favicon.ico,
robots.txt, etc. which are expected in the top level or otherwise outside
the media subdirectory.
The Rails-style config has MEDIA_ROOT/MEDIA_URL as the root-level
directory of the site on the webserver, and then connect the error-
handler-404 to Django - this means that if a file is there then it gets
served whilst if it is not then the URL falls through for Django to
handle. So, favicon, etc can just be put directly in their right place.
