Re: Urls, apache and PHP

Have you backed up your configuration files? You should have. Take a look at the old configuration. Anderson, P.D. wrote:

Brian, Thanks for your answer, but it does not seem to work. I checked that php is running as a module (and not cgi) as I know it does not work with cgi. Do I need to set any MultiViewsMatch options? I tried MultiViewsMatch Any but it doesn't work. Patrick.

For example Mysite.com/do.php/1/5 ( and not Mysite.com/do.php?var1=1&var2=5 ) Using the list command I extract the variables (for example $var1=1;$var2=5) Always worked perfect for Unix + Apache 1.3x..+ php 2.x/3.x/4.x (as modules) + mysql 3.x. Now, I upgraded to RedHat 9.0 with Apache 2.0 and it complains that do.php/1/5 is not a existing object/file (404 error). Could anyone please help me out and tell me how to change php.ini or httpd.conf to accept my 'old' way or passing variables. Thanks very much, Patrick
