[rt-users] lighttpd + FastCGI + RT - Broken CSS / Menu Items Dont Work

Okay I take this back.. not sure what I was thinking.. Guess I got 
confused between my attempts with lighttpd and just trying to prove it 
works through Apache.

This problem is still unresolved unfortunately. I did recompile RT with 
the right handler, and none of the menu items or links work. It seems as 
if the handler is not properly handling sub directories??

Weird thing is, I've been looking at RT in Chrome and Firefox.. when I 
turned off Apache and turned on lighttpd, the CSS retained in my 
browser. PResumably because it was cached. In IE, the lighttpd instance 
of my RT still continues to not have any CSS formatting or colorization. 
(In addition to the menu items and links not working)
