Apache 2 content negotiation

Apache 2 content negotiation php query string

[Blofeld]

I've just switched to Apache 2 and I'm experiencing some different behaviour to my previous setup with Apache 1.3

I use content negotiation in order to have urls such as
www.mysite.com/phpdoc/new
instead of
www.mysite.com/phpdoc.php?article=new

This used to work fine, phpdoc.php would be run and I could parse the url to get any parameters.

However under Apache 2 I can only access the file as
www.mysite.com/phpdoc
Anything after the document name causes a file not found error.

I don't know if this is a difference in behaviour in Apache 2 or if I have not configured a particular option or module correctly.

I would appreciate some suggestions
Thanks
