Subject: ROR / Apache2 / FastCGI - Missing Stylesheets

Folks ...

I have been porting my app from dev environment on Webrick to Apache 
with FastCGI.  I have the app responding and pulling up the data, but it 
is ignoring the "images", "stylesheets", "javascripts" directories 
located in the public directory.

I'm running Apache under Suse Linux 9.x.  Here is the information that I 
have in my vhosts.conf file:

    #
    # VirtualHost template:
    # Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
    # The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
    # server name.
    #
    <VirtualHost *:80>

        ServerAdmin nobody@nobody.com
        ServerName www.spro.com
        ServerSignature On

        DocumentRoot /srv/www/vhosts/www.spro.com/public/

        ErrorLog /log/www.spro.com-error_log
        CustomLog /log/www.spro-access_log combined

        HostnameLookups Off
        UseCanonicalName Off

        <IfModule mod_fastcgi.c>
	   FastCgiServer \
		/srv/www/vhosts/www.spro.com/public/dispatch.fcgi \
		-initial-env RAILS_ENV=development -processes 10 \
		-idle-timeout 120
        </IfModule>

        <IfModule mod_userdir.c>
	   UserDir public_html
            Include /etc/apache2/mod_userdir.conf
        </IfModule>

        <Directory /srv/www/vhosts/www.spro.com/public/>
	   Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
            AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi
            AllowOverride All
            Order allow,deny
            Allow from all
        </Directory>

    </VirtualHost>

This is my first attempt at bringing a RoR application up under Apache2 
utilizing FastCGI.  It is my understanding that giving the full path 
name in both DocumentRoot and Directory definitions should allow RoR to 
find the stylesheets.  The system works perfectly under Webrick in my 
dev environment, just need to figure this out.

Thanks in advance ...
