So, my old server (RH 7.2) that worked quite happily crashed a while back, and I rebuilt it with RH 9. One thing that I noticed very quickly is that url_rewrite wasn\'t working correctly... I would get the 404 page instead of the correct staticpage. I just turned off url_rewrite as a quick fix, but I\'d like to turn it back on. I\'m using the default RH9 packages (PHP 4.2.2, MySQL 3.23.58, and Apache 2.0.40).
Anyone know why it won\'t work?

i remember reading a post that RH9 came with \"bad apache/php\" packages. if you run the up2date and do all the updates, try it again and it should work.

unfortunately, that didn\'t work.. I\'ve gotten them all to the latest that RedHat offers.. I\'d PREFER not to recompile everything from scratch, as this is a server with customers on it (I\'m a sysadmin for an ISP), and don\'t feel like dealing with customers complaining because I forgot to compile in feature X. As for RH9 coming with broken apache/php, it would definately not surprise me.. it\'s happened before.
I\'d almost believe, past PHP just being broken, that it\'s a ini problem, but again, it\'s pretty stock. :/
Solved!

It's a problem with Apache 2.0 and GL 1.3.8.. from the
2.0 upgrade doc:[*1]
The handling of PATH_INFO (trailing path information after the true filename) has changed for some modules. Modules that were previously implemented as a handler but are now implemented as a filter may no longer accept requests with PATH_INFO. Filters such as INCLUDES or PHP are implemented on top of the core handler, and therefore reject requests with PATH_INFO. You can use the AcceptPathInfo directive to force the core handler to accept requests with PATH_INFO and thereby restore the ability to use PATH_INFO in server-side includes.
So, add the AcceptPathInfo On line in, and it works great!
