ProxyPass /app1 http://127.0.0.1:3000/app1
ProxyPassReverse /app1 http://127.0.0.1:3000/app1
You need to have the proxy pass the new directory name.
Victory! That was the missing piece. I had my ProxyPass as localhost:3000 instead of localhost:3000/app1. Zed, I guess that's what you meant earlier -- sorry, I'm not that smart and didn't catch it the first time around.
I think it would be very helpful to have a how-to on this in the Mongrel documentation (or at least the Rails Wiki -- I'll try to add a page there), for the sake of other poor souls. The solution was simple, but like with many things in Rails, for those of us not "in the know" it's not always obvious.
As a side comment, it would be great if someone wrote a book on Rails deployment, as that seems to stump a lot of people (including a long-time PHP coder friend of mine who I convinced to try Rails, which he did and found the "joy of development" but also experienced the "pain of deployment"), and is a stumbling-block to Rails adoption. There is info out there but it takes a lot of digging, googling, asking on mailing lists, etc. Some solid documentation covering various platforms and situations would be a God-send, I think.
Thanks very much to all on this list who helped me with this.
