Proxying Apache to Mongrel, not sure if Apache is serving up static files

Let's try this one...

I have Apache 2.0.55 set up and also have Mongrel set up. I have Radiant set up running under Mongrel, and have Apache proxying to the Mongrel instance. That all seems to be working fine.

I thought I'd modify the settings a bit to let Apache serve up the static files - images, stylesheets, etc. I have it set up, and am not getting any errors.

However.

I'm not seeing any entries in the Apache access.log that indicate the files are being served.

Here's my Apache config:

<VirtualHost *>

    ServerName radiant.myserver.com     ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

     Alias /images /var/www/radiant/public/images      Alias /stylesheets /var/www/radiant/public/stylesheets

      ProxyPass /images !       ProxyPass /stylesheets !       ProxyPass / http://10.1.1.104:3000/       ProxyPassReverse / http://10.1.1.104:3000

      ProxyPreserveHost on </VirtualHost>

Anyone see any problem with my configuration? Is there any way to tell/make sure that the Apache is handling the static files?

Thanks,

John

Where are you specifying your apache log? Does anything show up in it when you make requests?

What does the mongrel.log say? One of them should say something...

I figured it would use the configuration of the default site, but I guess it doesn't. I added:

LogLevel warn CustomLog /var/log/apache2/rad.log combined

to the sites configuration, and that file is now being used.

What does the mongrel.log say? One of them should say something...

The mongrel.log file just shows that mongrel started up and the location of it's PID file. Nothing else. The production.log file is showing entries, which is fine.

Thanks.
