http://mysite.com/foo/bar loading http://mysite.com/foo.php

Question

I initially thought this was a problem with my .htaccess files, however even after disabling mod_rewrite the problem persisted. http://mysite.com/foo/bar is loading http://mysite.com/foo.php with this true for file foo being in any folder on the server. Does anyone know what is causing this behaviour and how I can stop this, as I want it to load http://mysite.com/foo.php?text=bar. I am running a normal LAMP setup, with Ubuntu as the OS.

Also, this happens only on the testing server, not the live VPS

Answer 1

This is probably due to MultiViews. You can disable it with:

Options -MultiViews
