location match order

Hi,
I asked about this awhile ago but did not receive a response. My end
goal is to run trac (http://trac.edgewall.org/) at the server root,
while still having other static content or web apps on subdirectories.

http://www.example.com/
should display trac

http://www.example.com/static
should display static content

As an intermediate step, I setup trac in its own subdirectory (using
)
http://www.example.com/trac
and it works fine, as do the other subdirectories.

However, once I modify the config files so that trac uses />, then any other address is passed directly to the trac handler. For
example, http://www.example.com/static shows the trac page with an
error stating "no handler matched request /static/" It appears that
the location directive '/' is matched before the alias '/static' so
everything after the slash is merely passed to the trac handler.

Is it possible to do this? If so, how do I configure Apache for this?
My current config file is below.
thanks for any suggestions,
Phillip

I don't see the latter anywhere in your configuration.
Only some stuff, which will override
because it takes the configuration right out of your filesystem
and into URL-space.

I expect a RemoveHandler in a at the
bottom of your config might help, if I understand the question
aright.

many thanks Nick!
I knew there had to be a way to get this done, I just didn't know what it was.

Since my uses SetHandler mod_python, I first tried
"RemoveHandler mod_python" but that did not work. Instead,


SetHandler None


seems to do the trick. Hopefully someone will let me know if there's a
reason I shouldn't do it this way.
