Hi All,

Very new to apache, need to know how to allow path_info information within my root folder on an externally hosted site.

Any help greatly appreciated.

You can't do that. PATH_INFO is an internal environment variable of Apache, and to be made available for local scripts (CGI/PHP).

Thanks for response,

Before i give up I just want to clarify by explaining my problem a little more.

I have a site hosted externally. I have tested my site at home on Microsoft IIS and within my pages I can access all CGI variables.
ie ( x = #CGI.Path_Info# ). However when uploaded I recieve an empty string when trying to access the Path Info data.

I have been told that path_info is probably disabled, however this comes from a unknown source. Is it possible to enable path info through .htaccess or any other method so my scripts can access it.

thanks again.

How you access it?

Probably not.

Probably no.

It depends on how your scripts retrieve the PATH_INFO.
