I don't use Apache, but here's what I would do in Nginx:
server {
listen 1.2.3.4:80;
server_name www.example.com;
error_page 404 /404; # goes to Pylons app
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000$request_uri;
include /etc/nginx/proxy.conf;
}
# static files location
location ~* ^/(static|images|javascript|js|css|flash|media|
downloads)/$ {
root /path/to/public;
}
}
and my directory layout just looks like:
/path/to/public/static
/path/to/public/images
etc.
If you wanted to preserve the requested URI to pass to your controller,
you could use a conditional redirect instead:
server {
listen 1.2.3.4:80;
server_name www.example.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000$request_uri;
include /etc/nginx/proxy.conf;
}
# static files location
location ~* ^/(static|images|javascript|js|css|flash|media|downloads)/$ {
root /path/to/public;
if (!-f $request_filename) {
rewrite (.*) /404?page=$request_uri redirect;
}
}
}
Personally, I let Nginx handle 404's for the most part. Bots (most of
them checking for hackable versions of PHP apps it seems) can generate a
ton of 404's.
Hope that helps someone.
