I wrestled with something like this - as we needed a static homepage
based on a django backend for one site.
Per my recollection what I did was.
* Apache httpd.conf required a location match adjustment something
like.
<LocationMatch "\.(jpg|gif|png|php|html)$">
SetHandler None
</LocationMatch>
* My url.py file needed this line
(r'^$', direct_to_template,{'template': 'index.html'}),
* As well I landed up having to put the index.html into both
full static form in the .com root as well in the django template
folder.
This was neccesary so people could load into the site as
"www.somewhere.com"
and while once in the django backend
"www.somewhere.com/index.html" would load for further
navigating.
I hope that makes sense, there was a downside to this in that
our web provider Verio's site management front end does not work
with us resetting the SetHandler in the root. In any case
most management of this site is done on the command line level.
Not a perfect solution but one that works, I'm open for other
suggestions.
