You should read again my comments in: http://blog.dscpl.com.au/search/label/web2py about the evils of using Location/LocationMatch for access control plus other stuff in my critique of your original mod_wsgi instructions as they are also somewhat relevant in regard to aliasing static directories. Also refer to the cleaned up mod_wsgi configuration in book 2nd edition. So, try using: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName mdp.cti.depaul.edu ServerAlias mdp.cti.depaul.edu ServerAlias www.web2py.com ServerAdmin [email protected] AliasMatch ^/([^/]+)/static/(.*) /home/user/web2py/applications/$1/ static/$2 <Directory /home/user/web2py/applications/*/static/> Order Allow,Deny Allow from all </Directory> ProxyPass /examples http://127.0.0.1:8000/examples ProxyPassMatch /examples/static ! ProxyPassReverse /examples http://127.0.0.1:8000/examples </Virtualhost> In other words: 1. Move proxy outside of Location directive and explicitly supply mount point. No access control necessary as mod_proxy ignores it. 2. Add a proxy exclusion for the suburl for where static files are. 3. Add sub url as final argument to ProxyPassReverse. 4. Use properly qualified static file mounts. 5. Use Directory directive around giving access to the static directories. No abuse of Location/LocationMatch directives. Graham
