Hi all,

can anyone tell me the easiest way to include some static html pages  
(generated by latex2html) to a rails application? The problem is that  
rails tries to route all those static links which leads to errors.

Thanks,  
Frank

Hi Frank,

I think you should set this up in your web server.  
If you’re using Apache + Mongrel, check what gets routed to the  
mongrel cluster and remove the URLs that you want to be served  
directly by Apache. It’s a similar to handling images, CSS, etc.
