I’d like to setup the following using pound.

www.department.state.edu/myapp1/

www.department.state.edu/myapp2/

www.department.state.edu/nonrailsapp1/

www.department.state.edu/nonrailsapp2/

I can get it to work for the non rails apps, but my rails stylesheets  
and images are broken.

I would like to set this up so the stylesheets and images in the rails  
app public folders still work.

Any suggestions?

Thanks very much in advance!

You need to offload the serving of stylesheets and images to Apache.  
You can read up my instructions and config files at http://

I’m putting Apache before Pound, because it allows me to only balance  
Rails apps, a normal account (that only uses static pages or php) is  
served up through Apache without having to update pound.cfg.

Hope this helps!
