Description of problem: The way that Red Hat has configured PHP with Apache 2.0 means that URL's like: http://www.example.com/foobar.php/make_up_stuff_here do not work like they did in Apache 1.3. A 404 error is returned instead. How reproducible: 100 % Steps to Reproduce: 1. Do get request like given 2. Compare to RH 7.3 Actual results: 404 Expected results: PHP to run and get given extra info. Additional info: This can be fixed by modifying the php.conf file and adding: AcceptPathInfo on in the files section. Not sure if this is the proper fix versus PHP being patched to tell Apache to turn on path info when it is used as a filter.
That's correct; this is covered explicitly in the migration guide included in /usr/share/doc/httpd-2.0.40/migration.html.
