I'm using Apache 1.3.22 and when I use

    ScriptAlias / /path/to/rt2/bin/mason_handler.fcgi

for anything else than RT's home page, I get these error logs:

    [Wed Jan  9 12:57:17 2002] [error] [client 172.30.1.171] script not found
    or unable to stat: /export/home1/apache/rt-2.0.11/bin/mason_handler.fcgiUser

This is trying to request

    http://rt/User/Prefs.html

When I try to request

    http://rt/NoAuth/webrt.css

I get a 404.

When I use ScriptAliasMatch, I pass only the stuff off to FastCGI that needs
to be handled (modulo the SelfService and attachment downloading).

It lets you use more complicated regular expression in the match and save
the matches inside of ()'s to the target path.

OK.

I want to use fastcgi everywhere, but when
