 I have a similar problem, but I am on shared hosting and I do not have

 plugin set up so we are delivering HTML, image files and other static pages
 via Catalyst, but similarly to Alejandro I would like to serve up the pages
 directly from Apache.

  Usually you would try to serve your static content directly with your

  you could have a configuration in your apache vhost as such:
 
  Suppose your app's name is vdc...
 
 
  # Aliases
  Alias /static /var/www/vdc/root/static
  Alias /other-static-files /var/vdc/whatever
 
  # The static content is served by apache directly
  Location /static
  SetHandler default-handler
  /Location
  Location /other-static-files
  SetHandler default-handler
  /Location
 

Those are the important bits.
They tell apache where the files really live in the file system,
and to use the regular file serving mechanism on them.

 You're defining / to serve your cat app. So any subdirectories of /, like
/static have to be configured to be served by the default handler.

location cannot be used with a .htaccess file. Neither can Alias.
