actually, the rewrite rules are always executed, that's why the rewrite log is the same in any case. ProxyPass, if present, will then step in after the 'pass through', forwarding your request to mongrel, regardless of any rewriting done before, since the / pattern always matches. > 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.
