Howdy,

I know reading the wiki you can have SBBS call php either via CGI or FPM.

Is there a way to have FPM called, when the suffix is not ending with .php?

EG: Lets say I have a url http://mysite/foo/bar - I actually want a nominated file (let say index.php) to be called with /foo/bar.

So instead of writing the URL as http://mysite/index.php/foo/bar (which works), how can I have http://mysite/foo/bar resolve to index.php being called?

Is it possible?

(I know I can have nginx doing this - and that might be what I need to do, if I cant get sbbs's web server doing it...)

...ëîåï

... Witch! Witch! They'll burn ya! Hag, stardate unknown.

Yeah, look at wiki.synchro.net. It's a dokuwiki.php served up via Synchronet web server.

Yeah, look at wiki.synchro.net. It's a dokuwiki.php served up via Synchronet web server.
$ cat webctrl.ini
PathInfoIndex=yes

Perfect, thanks.

Turned out I only needed PathInfoIndex - sweet...

Awesome. I expected the answer was in there somewhere. :-)
