You can set a custom .htaccess file to enable the AcceptPathInfo. You can get some more information here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#acceptpathinfo</i> I went there and retrieved the following code to paste into my .httpaccess file. <Files "mypaths.shtml"> Options +Includes SetOutputFilter INCLUDES AcceptPathInfo On </Files> However I'm guessing?? that I need to change "mypaths.shtml" to something else specific to my site???? Would that be to the root directory where my eZ is loaded? ("/html/") or somewhere else? (like the place where my php.ini file is , one directory lower?) and what is the correct syntax...? Also the .htaaccess file that I insert this code into... is that the one that comes with the eZ install ie .htaccess_root (leaving it in the same directory then)... or do I make a new one? Lastly is this the same .htaccess file that I'll past my virtual host code also?

During the install while finetuning I received this error message:

<i>AcceptPathInfo disabled or running in CGI mode</i>

My service provider then told me:

<i>The global configuration of the server can not be changed. You can set a custom .htaccess file to enable the AcceptPathInfo. You can get some more information here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#acceptpathinfo</i>

I went there and retrieved the following code to paste into my .httpaccess file.

<Files "mypaths.shtml">
Options +Includes
SetOutputFilter INCLUDES
AcceptPathInfo On
</Files>

However I'm guessing?? that I need to change "mypaths.shtml" to something else specific to my site???? Would that be to the root directory where my eZ is loaded? ("/html/") or somewhere else? (like the place where my php.ini file is , one directory lower?) and what is the correct syntax...?

Also the .htaaccess file that I insert this code into... is that the one that comes with the eZ install ie .htaccess_root (leaving it in the same directory then)... or do I make a new one?

Lastly is this the same .htaccess file that I'll past my virtual host code also?
