Problem to be solved with Multiviews

[jbrkhf]

I am working on a new version of my website. Had problems with the designer / programmer and he delivered the source code developed so far in a zip file.

I came a long way to have it running on Apache 2.0.59 PHP 5.2.0

Still a nasty problem is left. According to the designer ( he does not want to help any further) it has to do with the activation of Multiview.

Here is the root:

http://localhost/Peru4U-NB

Here is part of the PHP code:
<?

echo "<p><a href=\"add_destination/\">Add destination</a></p>";

echo "<br />";

$res_itinerarydestinations = $tripbuilder->GetItineraryDestinations($_SESSION['trip_id']);
if(!empty($res_itinerarydestinations))
{
//print_r($_SESSION['destinations']);

$day_count = 1;
$destination_count = 1;

The problem is that <a href=\"add_destination/\">Add destination</a> ends up into a 404 error.

Here is part of the httpd.conf file:

# First, we configure the "default" to be a very restrictive set of
# features.
#
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>

and:
# DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your
# documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory, but
# symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.
#
DocumentRoot "C:/htdocs"

#
# Each directory to which Apache has access can be configured with respect
# to which services and features are allowed and/or disabled in that
# directory (and its subdirectories).
#
# First, we configure the "default" to be a very restrictive set of
# features.
#
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>

#
# Note that from this point forward you must specifically allow
# particular features to be enabled - so if something's not working as
# you might expect, make sure that you have specifically enabled it
# below.
#

#
# This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
#
<Directory "C:/htdocs">

#
# Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
# or any combination of:
# Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
#
# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
# doesn't give it to you.
#
# The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see
#

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#options

# for more information.
#
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

#
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
# Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#
AllowOverride None

#
# Controls who can get stuff from this server.
#
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

</Directory>

Other functions on the side, using Multiviews are working fine.

When the site was running on the server of the designer, the link that was build was:

<a href="

http://clients.webdesigner.nl/peru4u/tripbuilder/add_destination/">Add

destination</a>

(derived from de source code view in the browser)

So that means that Apache / multiviews has to build the link

http://localhost/Peru4U-NB/tripbuilder/add_destination/">

The root contains the file tripbuilder.php and according to the designer, this file is used to build the link.

Hope I made it clear.

I welcome any suggestion.

Thanks

The problem is that <a href=\"add_destination/\">Add destination</a> ends up into a 404 error.

Does the directory
C:/htdocs/Peru4U-NB/add_destination/
contain any files? What are the permissions on those files?

What is the text of the 404 error?

Have you tried this?
<Directory "C:/htdocs/Peru4U-NB/add_destination">
Options MultiViews
</Directory>

Wishdiak.....thanks for your response.

In the meantime I solved this problem bij activating "mod_rewrite" in the httpd.conf file with the Option "All".
