Hi all,

I have a pyramid app on Dreamhost, and they are reverting from using Ruby's 
passenger back to fcgi fro shared hosting accounts. The server runs Apache, 
and I have control of .htaccess configuration.

At the moment, I am able to serve static files by using 
`config.add_static_view`, but it does not appear to be working for things 
like videos hosted on site (.mp4) nor audio (.ogg).

I thought to bypass `add_static_view` and have Apache serve static assets 
itself, but it's brought no joy, since apparently, my setup doesn't allow 
`Alias` directives, and the `RewriteCond` for files doesn't play well with 
Pyramid's layout, with or without `add_static_view`. The basic site seems 
to work better when I use Pyramid to serve, but like I said, video and 
audio files are blocked somehow. How do I serve .mp4 and .ogg? Do I have to 
get into declaring things iwth the `mimetypes` lib?

Here's my .htaccess, for reference:

$ cat .htaccess
#Disables GZIP
SetEnv no-gzip 1
    
#Turns off the expires headers for Apache
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
  ExpiresActive Off
</IfModule>

# DISABLE CACHING
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
  Header set Cache-Control "no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate"
  Header set Pragma "no-cache"
  Header set Expires 0
  Header always set Content-Security-Policy "upgrade-insecure-requests;"
</IfModule>

Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi
SetHandler fcgid-script
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301,NE]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi/$1 [QSA,L]

And here is my `dispatch.fcgi`:

#!/home/untwelve_admin/untwelve.dreamhosters.com/bin/python3.12

import sys

from paste.deploy import loadapp
from flup.server.fcgi_fork import WSGIServer

sys.path.append("UnTwelveDotOrg")

app = loadapp(
    
"config:/home/untwelve_admin/untwelve.dreamhosters.com/UnTwelveDotOrg/development.ini"
)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    WSGIServer(app).run()


Thanks for any insights you can provide!

Best,
Aaron
