How to make this modification?

[AtomicRax]

I have an Ubuntu server running apache2 with PHP 5.2.6.

 

I have a few scripts that parse $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] so I can link to files like this: /index.php/query

 

What I want to do is simply like to: /query

The server would parse that as /index.php/query since index.php is default.

 

I've done this before on another server, but don't know how it was configured....

if you're using Apache you can use mod_rewrite to direct all requests to index.php

 

Add the following to a file called .htaccess and place it in the directory where your index.php is located to.

rewriteEngine On

rewriteRule (.*) index.php/$1

 

When going yoursite.com/whatever it will actually call index.php/whatever

Is this normal?

 

 

 

I realize this is turning into an Apache discussion, not php configuration- should this topic be moved?

Looks like you need to enable the mod_rewrite module within Apaches configuration. Open Apaches httpd.conf and find then following line

#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

 

Remove the # from the start of the line. Save the httpd.conf and restart Apache.
