#28023 [Opn->Fbk]: Apache2: PHP installation method breaks content negotiation

ID: 28023 Updated by: vrana@php.net Reported By: mark at tranchant dot plus dot com -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.3.5 New Comment: This is in the Apache 2 documentation: "The effect of MultiViews is as follows: if the server receives a request for /some/dir/foo, if /some/dir has MultiViews enabled, and /some/dir/foo does not exist, then the server reads the directory looking for files named foo.*". So the only problem is if the request doesn't contain .php extension, right?

Basically, the installation instructions break Apache's MultiViews. The URL above also presents a solution, which relies on largely undocumented features. I'd like these features documented to prevent them disappearing in future versions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28023&edit=1
