Moving to better URLs
Peter, it turns out that mod_rewrite works on this server. However, to use it, all relative urls (for css, images, etc) must be made absolute. Otherwise, the browser has a difficult time finding the appropriate resources.
I made a temporary hack to allow css to work. I just put '/'s before each css url.
Another thing I did is what I said I would do a while back, which is to move everything to a safer (more secure) dir structure on the server. I made a dir /onelobby to hold exports from the svn repo. I also made the dir dev.onelobby.com into a symlink pointing to onelobby/upload/wwwroot/. That way, nothing outside the upload/wwwroot/ dir is accessible from the browser. This (I think) is the proper way of laying things out.
