I've asked again our hosting provider about this and their (highly irritating) answer has been: "We are sorry however we do not provide coding or scripting support through this forum. Mod_rewrite works just fine on our servers and your question about AllowOverride goes in the php.ini. You can find this and more information by performing a search on your favorite search engine." That is, "look in Google..." What a support service!. And they keep insisting I can solve this in php.ini. I'm running out of (polite) arguments with this people and before starting to be unpolite whit them I would like to ask you to confirm me that this really has nothing to do with php.ini.
php.ini is the name typically given to the system-wide file that is used to configure how php treats things like short_open_tags etc. AllowOverride is the apache directive that governs which set of directives may be used in htaccess files. If there is any overlap, certain php features (those which would normally go in php.ini) can be set in .htaccess files, depending on the AllowOverride setting. See: http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.changes.php However, php.ini is not, unless your isp has done something exceptionally odd, used to govern apache features such as rewrite. php simply has no idea what those are. Aside from which, the statement "your question about AllowOverride goes in the php.ini" barely makes any logical sense. I'm sorry I've been unable to answer your question.. Clearly mod_rewrite is operating, I just can't fathom why it would appear to give a 404 response to an arbitrary but "unrecognosed" file extension. I would have to guess that there's some module running on your server that is interfering with mod_rewrite's normal operation, but sadly it doesn't seem like your ISP want to help determine what that might be. Don't be discourraged, I'm sure there's a solution somewhere :-) -- noodl --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
