I have an Apache2.2 SSL setup with vhosts on my server with fastCGI running several applications. The applications all work except IE hangs any time the network traffic isn''t perfect. I have very few problems with firefox. When I run native Mongrel on a port and point the browser to that port it runs much much better. When I try pointing Apache to that port either using ProxyPass or mod_proxy_balancer I get a 403 forbidden area when trying to access my app through the virtual host. Is this a permissions issue? Do I need different permissions on my public folder if running through proxy instead of just through apache or directly accessing the Mongrel port? Thanks! Jake
