The point of the resource name is to differenciate it from its siblings.
If you give the same name to both of course it does not work.
Moreover, I don't think '/var/www/' a valid resource name.
Either use different "logical" names for each File, or use different
processors for a single File.

I think you want something like:

my_resource = static.File(PATH)
my_resource.processors = { '.pt' : PTResource,  '.rst' : RSTResource}
my_resource.indexNames = [ 'index.pt',  'index.rst' ]
root.putChild('foo', my_resource)
