Using fcgi it was possible to avoid having to specify the port number
when accessing a rails app by remapping the sub-domain to point to the
‘public’ directory. Is this still possible when using mongrel?
It looks like it should be possible using an .htaccess file and the
ProxyPass commands, but everything I’ve attempted so far has led me to a
500 internal server error.

Whatever server you were running fastcgi under had to have a port
number defined. Mongrel is an http server, and has to define the port
it listens on. You can’t tell a server to ‘run on all ports’.
What problem is it you are trying to solve?

Yes, the server has to run on a port, but with fcgi it was easy to just
point the root url into the public directory to avoid the visitors ever
needing to specify the port number. The same does not appear to be as
easy with mongrel. ProxyPass does look like it would work, but my host
(dreamhost) has disabled it. Is there an easy method I’m overlooking?
