Files ForceType not working on Win32 Apache..

Works only for the matching name itself, not subdirs...

Hi,

my live server runs apache 1.3.29 in a unix environment and I experimented with forcetypes like

<Files maps>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Files>

to cover requests like
[mydomain.com...]
and everything works fine.

Now, my local apache is set up nearly identical but on a Win32 machine. .htaccess is allowed, I use lots of RewriteRules and they work well.

Anyway, the above <Files> statement does not work as expected on my local server.

[mydomain.com...] and
[mydomain.com...]
work and the script maps is executed. But as soon as I append any additional chars to the path like
[mydomain.com...]
all I keep getting are 404s.

I guess there is some module that needs to be loaded or I missed some directive that has to be set (AllowOverride All is set)?

After hours of googling and experimenting I am clueless. Thanks for any help!

During a sleepless night I found a (simple) solutions for this problem.

PHP was running in CGI mode on my local server but has to be loaded as a module for ForceType to work as expected. Some tweaks in the httpd.conf and copying the files in the right directories did the job and everything works fine now.

If you ever have a similar problem just PM me :)
