I had to setup two virtual servers on my machine. One for the App and  
one for the svn server and I hit them with different urls. I’m running  
on a windows box with only one mongrel server but this has been working  
for me.

\<VirtualHost 192.168.1.100\>  
ServerName [abc.dyndns.org](http://abc.dyndns.org)  
ServerAlias [abc.dyndns.org](http://abc.dyndns.org)

ProxyPass / [http://127.0.0.1:8000/](http://127.0.0.1:8000/)  
ProxyPassReverse / [http://127.0.0.1:8000/](http://127.0.0.1:8000/)  
ProxyPreserveHost on  
  
\<VirtualHost 192.168.1.100\>  
ServerName [xyz.dyndns.org](http://xyz.dyndns.org)  
ServerAlias [xyz.dyndns.org](http://xyz.dyndns.org)

Subject: [Rails] SVN and Rails problem

Hi guys,

I’ve finally managed to get my server up and running with  
mongrel\_cluster and all that jazz. My rails app works fine, but when I  
try to access my svn repos as I was doing before everything was setup  
rail is giving me a 404.

What can I add to my httpd.conf to prevent this? Here’s a snip from my  
httpd.conf relating to the domain:

—HTTPD.CONF---------------------------

\<VirtualHost 75.126.60.178:80\>

DocumentRoot /home/fapbox/current/public  
ServerAdmin removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid  
UseCanonicalName Off

CustomLog /usr/local/apache/domlogs/fapbox.com-bytes\_log “%{%s}t %I  
.\n%{%s}t %O .”  
\<IfModule !mod\_disable\_suexec.c\>  
SuexecUserGroup fapbox fapbox  
  
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/fapbox/public\_html/cgi-bin/

```
<Location /svn>
