I just realized that using rails' relative_url_root (2b below) does fix problem 3 as well... and the public folder symbolic link work around (detailed here: http://www.ralree.info/2006/6/15/successful-settings-for-apache-forwarding-to-mongrel) salvages half of file column's functionality (namely: uploading).
But my main problem of *reading* these uploaded files remains. The URL that File_Column generates still doesn't include the proper prefix. Any ideas? Is there any easy way I can get File_Column to use ActionController::AbstractRequest.relative_url_root that I set in environement.rb?
