Question as a client on a shared host

This is on a linux machine with apache using lookback...

On my local machine (XP Pro, apache) , if I go to

http://localhost/index/test.html

Lookback takes it back to http://localhost/index.php and adds /test.html as $PATH_INFO

This is fine

But on my host if I go to http://mysite.com/index/test.html it brings up a 404 not found error and it doesnt look back. Look back does work however if I use http://mysite.com/index.php/test.html but then the .php has to be there

Is there any way I can do this WITHOUT the .php being there?
 
Games: you cant have a filename follow by a file name
Example: www.mysite.com/index.php/test.html
You have to have hostname/folder/filename

BTW, I noticed you are on XP pro and have apache installed... do you have PHP installed on your box too??? I would also try instead of using localhost to use your IP address or 127.0.0.1
 
Actually, I dont use either, I just did that to simplify the post. I used the HOSTS file to set my domain to go to 127.0.0.1, that way when I download my site from the web to work on it, all the links are intact.

I have a button that comments and uncomments the line that does that, and it seems a good setup for me.

And with apache, you can have a filename folloewd by a filename, and I can prove it!

And yes, I do have PHP installed, as well as mysql

I didnt mean to post this as a new post, sorry. I cant even delete it :( I just cant get used to the positions of edit and quote. I'm used to them being where the profile buttons are
