It looks like the rewrite rules expect mythweb in the root directory of
the web server. However, I have mythweb in a subdirectory mythweb/.

I changed the rewrite rules accordingly, and now it works. Here are my
rewrite rules:

    url.rewrite-once = (

	"^/mythweb/(css|data|images|js|themes|skins|[a-z_]+\.(php|pl)).*" => "$0",
        "^/mythweb/(pl(/.*)?)$" => "/mythweb/mythweb.pl/$1",
        "^/mythweb/(.+)$"       => "/mythweb/mythweb.php/$1",
        "^/mythweb/(.*)$"       => "/mythweb/mythweb.php"
    )

Maybe they should be changed so that they work for arbitrary
subdirectories.
