Apache 2.0 can't support OsCommerce Search-Engine Safe URLs

Apache 2.0 can't support OsCommerce Search-Engine Safe URLs
- problem on Apache 2.0 (mod_rewrite , mod_alias)
_________________________________________________________________

My site is using the popular PHP Open Source eCommerce Poject - OsCommerce but the function
of Use Search-Engine Safe URLs cannot work!

The steps to turn on this function is in the following.
--> Admin Console
--> Configuration
--> Use Search-Engine Safe URLs (still in development)
--> set to "True"
___________________________________________________
The function is rewrite (convert) the HTTP requested path from index.php/cPath/1
to index.php?cPath=1

Purpose : let the search engine (eg) Google can search all dynamic page content.
___________________________________________________

Software Background :
OS : Mandrake 9.2 / RedHat 9 ( also have the same problem )
+ Apache 2.0
+ 4.3.1
+ Default httpd.conf & php.ini setting
___________________________________________________

Now , all links in the page present the following error.

Object not found!

The requested URL was not found on this server.
The link on the referring page seems to be wrong or outdated.
Please inform the author of that page about the error.
If you think this is a server error,
please contact the webmaster

Error 404

___________________________________________________
One thing I can sure, the 2 of Apache 2.0 modules I had turned on ( but still can't work )
mod_alias
[httpd.apache.org...]
mod_rewrite
[httpd.apache.org...]

Please help!
Thx!

Have you posted to the osCommerce forums? It's very active and must have loads of folks running this combination.

Is mod_rewrite configured with Apache?

Apache Core Documentation [httpd.apache.org]

The setting you want is AcceptPathInfo. It should be set to on in your apache configuration.
