There is more doc/info at http://www.cherrypy.org/wiki/VirtualPathFilter, and in a thread I started on the google group cherrypy-users: "A deployment Question". However am about to give up on this.
After following the instructions I can get it working through the CP server, but not through Apache. From the Apache access log it seems the VirtualPathFilter causes a re-direiction away from my httpd.conf Alias /summitcamp /opt/www/summitcamp-- 128.18.44.69 - - [16/Dec/2005:12:43:48 -0800] "GET /summitcamp/status HTTP/1.1" 302 157 "http://polar.sri.com/summitcamp/"; 128.18.44.69 - - [16/Dec/2005:12:43:48 -0800] "GET /status/ HTTP/1.1" 404 284 "http://polar.sri.com/summitcamp/";
