Virtual Hosts problem

I'm having a bit of trouble with Apache's virtual hosts.

My httpd.conf file contains:

<VirtualHost *:80>   ServerName xyz.cfcl.com   ServerAdmin rdm@cfcl.com   ErrorLog /dev/null   CustomLog /dev/null common   ProxyRequests Off   ProxyPass / http://fido.cfcl.com:3002   ProxyPassReverse / http://fido.cfcl.com:3002 </VirtualHost>

This lets requests get to a copy of RoR 1.2 (Locomotive) on fido. Mostly, this works fine. For example, http://localhost:3002 and http://xyz.cfcl.com/ both bring up a welcome page.

However, although http://localhost:3002/stylesheets/base.css brings up a CSS file, http://xyz.cfcl.com/stylesheets/base.css brings up the nastygram:

  Bad Request   Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.   Apache/1.3.33 Server at tchm.cfcl.com Port 80

In fact, ANY file in the public directory (e.g., {404,500}.html) acts this way. Any idea on whether this is an Apache or Rails problem and (more critically) what to do about it?

Can you add the following to your VirtualHost Section too ProxyPass /* http://fido.cfcl.com:3002/ ProxyPassReverse /* http://fido.cfcl.com:3002/

In any case, this is purely an Apache thing.
