Rails - Aug 2006 - ssl breaks rails app

I''m a newbie both with rails and configuring a server so I appreciate
any help available.

I developed my rails app and deployed it successfully on apache using cgi.

Next I successfully configured mod_ssl for apache.  I point my browser
to https://myserver and VIOLA , I see the index page in
../myapp/public/index.html .

But when I try to get to one of the controllers, the routing seems to
break.  The browser displays an error message from apache that the
file is not found - so it seems that apache is not handing the request
off to rails.

What can i do so that https requests get to the rails dispatcher?

I do not have an .htaccess file .

In ssl_error_log I have:

[Thu Aug 10 15:43:07 2006] [error] [client ###.##.##.## ] File does
not exist: /var/www/html/myapp/public/login

Notice  the login request is not routed appropriately.  The request
does not even show up in  /var/www/html/myapp/log/production.log

My setup
wbel
rails-1.1.4
apache2.0.52
mod-ssl

snippet from httpd.conf

<VirtualHost *:443>
 ServerName localhost.localdomain
 DocumentRoot /var/www/html/myapp/public/
 ErrorLog /var/www/html/myapp/log/apache.log
 SetEnv RAILS_ENV production
 RequestHeader set X_FORWARDED_PROTO ''https''
 <Directory /var/www/html/myapp/public/>
   Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
   AllowOverride all
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
 </Directory>
 </VirtualHost>

thanks for any help - marty
