[Cherokee] url behaviour

[Masaru Yamabashi]

I've notticed Cherokee does not follow the apache behaviour while parsing URL.
 
In apache an URL such as http://www.mysite.com/doit.php/foo/joe/woo would fetch the file doit.php and if php enabled it would execute php code in it, that is that URL results in:
 
DOCUMENT_ROOT = /var/www/htdocs
SCRIPT_FILENAME = /var/www/htdocs/index.php
REQUEST_METHOD = GET
QUERY_STRING = 
REQUEST_URI = /doit.php/foo/joe/woo
SCRIPT_NAME = /doit.php
PATH_INFO = /foo/joe/woo
PATH_TRANSLATED = /var/www/htdocs/foo/joe/woo
 
while Cherokee refuses to fetch the file and reports "file not found" error.
 
I suppose it is sure not a bug but a feature, but Would it be possible to mimic the apache behaviour since there're a lot of frameworks that trust on it for url rewriting or routing?

Can you explain how it should behave? Because I don't understand the
refuses to fetch the file. Do you mean doit.php is not found?

Hello Masaru,

In my experience Cherokee does fetch the php file.

Does it find the php file if you only request
http://www.mysite.com/doit.php ?

What version of Cherokee are you using?

Kind regards,
Walter

Did you create the "php rule"? If not, run the PHP Wizard [1].

Anyway, could you post what version of Cherokee are you using and/or
the cherokee.conf file?
