Question

I just updated my Ubuntu outdated development server, and it broke down some configuration.
Now apache/php does not properly handle urls like index.php/profile, but will handle correctly just index.php.

Basically if there some path after index.php, then it will return 404 error:
The requested URL /index.php/profile was not found on this server.

What configuration option is likely to fix this problem? I need to fix this urgently. Thanks in advance!

Check the setting of AcceptPathInfo:

This directive controls whether requests that contain trailing pathname information that follows an actual filename (or non-existent file in an existing directory) will be accepted or rejected. The trailing pathname information can be made available to scripts in the PATH_INFO environment variable.

For example, assume the location /test/ points to a directory that contains only the single file here.html. Then requests for /test/here.html/more and /test/nothere.html/more both collect /more as PATH_INFO.
