I commented out those two lines and sure enough, apache will serve static content even when mongrel is stopped.. What I don't understand though is that regardless of whether the two lines are enabled/disabled, my rewrite log shows the same thing: (2) init rewrite engine with requested uri /images/common/learn_more.gif (3) applying pattern '^.*$' to uri '/images/common/learn_more.gif' (4) RewriteCond: input='/usr/local/www/data/vhosts/www.mydomain.com/current/public/system/maintenance.html' pattern='-f' => not-matched (3) applying pattern '^/$' to uri '/images/common/learn_more.gif' (3) applying pattern '^([^.]+)$' to uri '/images/common/learn_more.gif' (3) applying pattern '^/(.*)$' to uri '/images/common/learn_more.gif' (4) RewriteCond: input='/usr/local/www/data/vhosts/www.mydomain.com/current/public//images/common/learn_more.gif' pattern='!-f' => not-matched (1) pass through /images/common/learn_more.gif so it looks like it's passing the files directly through apache in both cases, yet it will only work if mongrel is started when the ProxyPass lines are enabled.. (otherwise I get the service temporarily unavailable message). So to break it down, I have the following 3 scenarios: 1) mongrel_cluster is runnning, 'ProxyPass / balancer://myapp/' and 'ProxyPassReverse / balancer://myapp/' are enabled -> both static content and dynamic content is served 2) mongrel_cluster is stopped 'ProxyPass / balancer://myapp/' and 'ProxyPassReverse / balancer://myapp/' are enabled -> neither static nor dynamic content is served 3) mongrel_cluster is stopped 'ProxyPass / balancer://myapp/' and 'ProxyPassReverse / balancer://myapp/' are disabled-> static content is served, dynamic content isn't So this all makes sense, the only thing that's confusing is: A) the rewrite log contains the same thing in all 3 scenarios (you'd think in scenario 1 that it would show that the requests for static content are actually being sent through the balancer, rather than showing "pass through", which seems to indicate that it's being served directly by apache) B) The fact that none of the comments on the original tutorial site <http://blog.codahale.com/2006/06/19/time-for-a-grown-up-server-rails-mongrel-apache-capistrano-and-you/> mention anything about these 'ProxyPass /' lines preventing any static content being served by apache. This is of course not to say that I should take the instructions on that website as 100% accurate, but it just makes me want to double check that I'm indeed doing the right thing. Anyway, thanks for the help guys, so far everything seems to be working the way I want.
