mod rewrite Help needed

[cdmn]

Hi there,
im lost... need some help :)

I have access configuration like this:

<Directory "/home/user/public_html/">
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</Directory>

index.php is set to print out $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'].

... So if i access URI like this: URI/index.php/a/b/c, i get "a/b/c", if like this: URI/a/b/c (and this should work), i get:

The requested URL /index.php/a/b/c/ was not found on this server.

How i understand "a/b/c" is send to index.php, so RewriteRule works?
But why does it not work as expected (print out "a/b/c")...

If this code is located in httpd.conf or other server-config-level file, as I assume it is because you are using <Directory>, then the URL-path seen by RewriteRule will have a leading slash which must either be matched in the RewriteRule pattern or must be omitted from the substitution:

<Directory "/home/user/public_html/">
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRu[b]le ^/(.[/b]*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</Directory>

(See also AcceptPathInfo in Apache core for a different solution)

Hi,

thanks for your answer, jdMorgan.
But sadly it didnt solved my problem....

Configuration is located in access.conf file.

If i do as you sad:

<Directory "/home/user/public_html/">
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-d
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</Directory>

i get:

The requested URL /a/b/c/ was not found on this server.

If i ommit slashes:

<Directory "/home/user/public_html">
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</Directory>

i get:

The requested URL /index.php/a/b/c/ was not found on this server.

So the second rule is working, and rewriting the URL as you wish. However, it appears that you do not have AcceptPathInfo set on your server. As I wrote above:
