I don't entirely understand what's going on, but it sounds like you have a
syntax error in your mongrel2 config. Would you mind posting it?
Regarding static files, I usually do something like this:
Host(name="localhost", routes={
'/static': Dir(base='static/', index_file='index.html',
default_ctype='text/plain'),
'/': Proxy(addr='127.0.0.1', port=9988)
})
Where static assets live in a folder called 'static', get served from
'/static/js', '/static/css', etc., and the application handles everything
else. You could also add explicit /js and /css routes if you wanted cleaner
URLs.
