Hi Thomas. Yes, your man page was one of the docs I used to try and get
things working. The Apache access log reports the assets were served
with 200 code:

[14/Aug/2026:12:46:43 +0100] "GET /got.png HTTP/1.1" 200 

As I wrote in the first post, everything seems to be working fine apart
from the static files. My Apache conf is below if that reveals anything
stupid I've done / not done:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName got.simonh.uk
    DocumentRoot /var/www/got

    <Directory /var/www/htdocs/gotwebd>
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    # Pass all requests to the gotwebd FastCGI socket
    <Directory /var/www/got/public>
        Options +ExecCGI
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    # Forward the root or scripts to gotwebd via Unix Socket
    SetHandler "proxy:unix:/var/www/got/gotwebd.sock|fcgi://localhost"

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/gotweb_error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/gotweb_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
