[Pmwiki-users] I'm not sure I understand Wiki paths

[Patrick R. Michaud]

If you're running Apache 2.0.x, be sure to add

    AcceptPathInfo On

to the .htaccess file somewhere.  (See step #4 in 
http://www.pmichaud.com/wiki/PmWiki/Installation.)

If you've already done this and it still doesn't work, let me know.

Actually, it's different than this.  According to the CGI 1.1 specification
(used for web scripts) the URL  
http://localhost/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HomePage 
should execute the program at pmwiki/pmwiki.php and pass "/Main/HomePage"
in the PATH_INFO environment variable.  Unfortunately, Apache 2.0 doesn't
honor this part of the CGI specification unless the AcceptPathInfo directive
is set to "On" (it's set to "Off" by default, in violation of the CGI
spec).
