Yes a static request causes the same sort of error to appear in the log. Shouldn't it be PHP that processes the URI past "index.php" ? In which case, the said PHP script should be able to understand the object with the ":" in it??

Hi, I don't know the details but it seems apache on windows doesn't much like the ':' character in URIs. Are you able to reproduce the same issue with a static request? -- noodl --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
