See ProxyPass directive here.  It tells how to exclude resources.  Make =
sure you read the part about properly ordering your ProxyPass statements =
too.

In your htdocs (i.e. DocumentRoot) folder.  Exactly where under that =
folder just depends on where your application expects it.  If your app =
stores static resources under a "static" folder (i.e. =
/static/images/...) then you'd just create that folder structure under =
the htdocs folder.
