什么会导致Apache服务somepage.php / friendly-url在PHP升级后产生404

Question

My hoster has recently upgraded PHP to 5.3.8 and now all my installations that use a URL pattern like somefile.php/friendly-url yield a 404 ErrorDocument (where somefile.php is an actual existing PHP file which is supposed to handle the rest of the path). How do I best go about fixing this? What is the directive that tells Apache to serve said URL even if only the somefile.php part is valid but not the whole location does not really point to an existing file?

BTW: No URL rewriting is involved… Also, the 404 is clearly generated by Apache, not any scripts.

Try to add an .htaccess file to your public directory containing this line:

AcceptPathInfo On

From the PHP Manual :

Apache 2 users may use AcceptPathInfo On inside httpd.conf to define PATH_INFO .

Also have a look at the Apache2 documentation .

Answer 2

You probably had mod_rewrite configured differently before the upgrade... a similar thing happened to a sever I was working on about 2 months ago. Check out mod_rewrite and see if this is what you need.
