big problem with multiviews

[viktorf]

I'm desperate... Multiviews wont work on my Linux server with Plesk (works fine on a non-Plesk machine).

I want to use Multiviews to make the URL more user and search-engine-friendly (ie not .../page.php?id=1&cat=2 but .../page/title/2).

The machine runs multiple virtual hosts, im trying to set on of them to use Multiviews.

I have tried the following:
add the following line to the proper vhost.conf:

<Directory /home/httpd/vhosts/<domainname>/httpdocs>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

in the directory where i want the Multiviews to work, i created a .htaccess with the following:

Options MultiViews

I have also tried
Options +MultiViews
and
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews All

The .htaccess als consist of the following directives (in order to parse specific files)

<files page>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</files>

The files directive works fine, but it wont use Multiviews... This setup works fine on a server without Plesk. I've used exactly the same method, except for the fact that i put these settings directly in the httpd.conf.

Does anyone have a clue... i've been trying all day now...

Add the particular options to the vhost.conf file and make sure that it's included in the domain httpd.include. You can regenerate the file files with:

/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/websrvmng -u --vhost-name=domainname

The .htaccess include files may not work, depending on your server configuration.

Thanks, but that I have allready done.. the vhost.conf is working fine.

I'm happy to say that I have found the solution:

Apparently the Apache setup defaults to: "AcceptPathInfo Off"...
(Strange though... I can't find a setting in any .conf, probably its some sort of compiling option???).

Adding AcceptPathinfo On to vhost.conf solves it. (Too bad it took me a day and a night .

AcceptPathinfo syntax how?

I still can't get apache to recognize AcceptPathinfo On
I tried adding it to vhost.conf both inside the <Directory>
....
</Directory>
and outside it.
and applying websrvmng and apache restart
no help.

I tried putting AcceptPathinfo in .htaccess no help.

How exactly did you enter AcceptPathinfo in vhsot.conf to get it working?
