You cannot read the RewriteRule in isolation, the RewriteCond on the
line before must be taken into consideration as well:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ mysite.fcgi/$1 [QSA,L]
The RewriteCond says that the RewriteRule should only be applied in
the target of the URL couldn't be mapped as a static file.
One problem with the rule as shown is that it may not necessarily work
on all cases. Can be a problem where done in a .htaccess file and that
directory isn't the root of the site.
If the URL of the directory is /dangosite, use instead:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /djangosite/mysite.fcgi/$1 [QSA,PT,L]
The PT flag should be optional because absolute path for redirect, but
makes it clearer when trying to look through mod_rewrite
documentation.
The question thus is, are you doing the rewrite rule in a .htaccess
file or not? Is that the root of the site?
