URL Segment Support macosx 10.6

does anyone knows how to activate URL Segment Support in Snow Leopard? I take I must add the AcceptPathInfo On directive to the httpd.config file in /private/etc/apache2 but I cant find the right way to do it. Should I set AllowOverride and go .htaccess instead? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!.

Solution

You can use the AcceptPathInfo directive in the server config, virtual host, directory or .htaccess context.

virtual host context:

Here’s an example for the virtual host localhost:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName localhost
    DocumentRoot "/Users/username/Sites/localhost/"
    AcceptPathInfo on
</VirtualHost>

That will now apply to the whole virtual host.

direcory context:

If you just want to use it in specific directory, you can either use a <Directory> block in your server/virtual host configuration file:
```
<Directory /Users/username/Sites/localhost/foobar>
    AcceptPathInfo on
</Directory>
```

.htaccess context

Or, if you want to allow the AcceptPathInfo directive in .htaccess files, you need to set AllowOverride FileInfo for that directory, e.g.

<Directory /Users/username/Sites/localhost/foobar>
    AllowOverride FileInfo
</Directory>

# .htaccess file in /Users/username/Sites/localhost/foobar
AcceptPathInfo on
