[Pmwiki-users] Getting rid of pagename=... in the URL

[Patrick R. Michaud]

AcceptPathInfo is only needed for Apache 2.x.  Apache 1.3 already does
the equivalent of AcceptPathInfo.

Since your server API is "cgi", it probably means that the PHP
configuration is not set up to handle PATH_INFO properly.
With $EnableDiag=1, try a URL like
http://my.site.com/index.php/Main/HomePage?action=phpinfo and see if
"/Main/HomePage" appears in any of the server variables, if so, then
we can make it so that the shorter URLs work--if it doesn't appear
anywhere (or if you get a 404 Page Not Found error when
http://my.site.com/index.php works) then you're pretty much stuck with
the ?pagename= syntax.
