Problem with path

I've installed Exponential on two server using the wizard installation.

in the first case paths are like this:

http://www.mysite.org/index.php/en/weblog

in the second case paths are like this:

http://www.mysite.org/index.php?/en/weblog

The only difference is the question mark: "?".

In which ini file of Exponential can I modify to force the use of question mark?("?")

Slavatore, Exponential detected PHP in CGI mode, so add automatically to your path question mark (?). Reason behind this is that CGI doesn't understand accept-path-info (index/php/en/weblog). I suggest to install PHP as Apache module (mod_php). This will give you also better performance.

Hi Luke,

the problem is that I have installed Exponential on a server where I cannot edit configuration... On this server doesn't work without question mark and I want to force Exponential to use it...

Clear all cache, that should help. Clear var/cache and var/(site)/cache dirs (do not remove storage dir).

I have this extact same problem and I believe it breaks the OE when trying to browse for an object.

I don't think the cache deletion will cure this (tried it already) as the ? appears when you run the installer for the first time.

George, Salvatore wants to force Exponential to use (?) in URL. After all cache clear Exponential should add ? to all URLS. That will fix his problem.

apologies guys - doing too many things at once

my problem is the opposite - want the ? removed.

I'll search the forums.

George, than you will have to change API of your PHP, install it as Apache module (mod_php), more you can find in PHP documentation or try one of hosting partners:

Note: After PHP installation as Apache module (mod_php), just clear all cache, and ? in your URL should gone.

Lukasz

thanks for this - I'll check with my hosting provider whether it's installed as mod_php or not.

To be honest, the ? doesn't bother me. If it's normal behaviour under the installed PHP type then that's fine; I just thought that something went wrong with the install.
