How to set AcceptPathInfo in Apache 2.0.48 for Exponential 3.3-3

Hi,

My problem: I'm trying to install Exponential 3.3-3 only my freshly installed gentoo box. I'm using apache 2.0.48.

During the Exponential installation it tells me to put 'AcceptpathInfo On' in my httpd.conf or in my .htaccess.

So I tried to put the directive into /etc/apache2/conf/apache2.conf, into /etc/apache2/conf/commonapache2.conf (which should be the same in my opinion?) and into a .htaccess but it didn't work out.
The Exponential installer keep complaining.

Could anyone please help me solving this?

Thanx in advance, greetz

Hi Max,

Do you have a firewall running on your gentoo box?

I just set up Exponential on this computer and had the same problem when I told the firewall "not" to allow access to the internet. As soon as I changed this to "allow", Exponential set-up worked perfectly.

Hope this is of some help.

Hi,

AFAIK I don't use a firewall on the gentoo box (I just installed gentoo as described in the docs and the only things I added afterwards are the LAMP stuff and some handy tools like mc etc.).
Further the machine has access to the internet. I can't be accessed from the internet, though. Could that be the problem?

Thanx anyway,
Max

i have download and installed Exponential-3[2].3-4.zip.I installed it on my local machine. After installing Exponential had showed two links i.e user site(http://localhost/Exponential/index.php/corporate) and admin site (http://localhost/Exponential/index.php/corporate_admin). But When i clicked to these url it shows me "page cannot be displayed".Did i missed something to install or should i have not make changes in some configure file.What should i do to make these links runnable.
I am using
1)Apache 2.0 (installed on c:\apache\)
2)Php4.3.5 (Installed on c:\php\)
3)mysql 4.0.18 (Installed on c:\mysql\)

I have also set the Acceptpathinfo on in my httpd.conf file Here is the code

<Files ~ "^\.ht">
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
AcceptPathInfo On
</Files>
<Directory "C:/apache/Apache2/manual">
    Options Indexes
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all

    <Files *.html>
        SetHandler type-map
        AcceptPathInfo On
    </Files>

    <Files ~ "\.php$"> 
    AcceptPathInfo On 
    </Files> 
    

    SetEnvIf Request_URI ^/manual/de/ prefer-language=de
    SetEnvIf Request_URI ^/manual/en/ prefer-language=en
    SetEnvIf Request_URI ^/manual/fr/ prefer-language=fr
    SetEnvIf Request_URI ^/manual/ja/ prefer-language=ja
    SetEnvIf Request_URI ^/manual/ko/ prefer-language=ko
    SetEnvIf Request_URI ^/manual/ru/ prefer-language=ru
    RedirectMatch 301 ^/manual(?:/(de|en|fr|ja|ko|ru)){2,}(/.*)?$ /manual/$1$2

   AcceptPathInfo On 
   </Files> 
</Directory>
