Hello

Have set up reverse proxy for running a ruby app on mongrel (on  
windows)?

Apache has error in balancer log

client denied by server configuration

Is there something in Mongrel which is causing this?

And on browser get error

Forbidden  
You don’t have permission to access /appname on this server.

Thank you
