Apache Problem

laeelin

I'm trying to force everything in the vparse "folder" to open one PHP file...

I want:

Http://www.mysite.com/vparse/abc

to process the vparse file in my document root folder as PHP (this is to remove the "?var1=a&var2=b" from most of the links on my site.)

I've tried:

adding the below to my httpd.conf file.

<Location /vparse>
ForceType application/x-http-php
</Location>

and to the .htaccess

<Files vparse>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Files>

I make the changes restart apache and it doesnt work.

Either way I get a "404 file not found" error.

BTW: I have root access to the server.

Ensure mod_mime is uncommmented in httpd.conf (it should be by default) and that php is defined in /etc/mime.types (or whatever is specified in httpd.conf).

If not, you can add it to httpd.conf with the AddType directive or to the mime.types file specified in httpd.conf. The AddType method is preferred to avoid potential problems if the mime.types file is overwritten.

On second thought, I can't seem to find a mime type for php, probably because php is never served to a client, it's processed and serves html. So, your approach may not work so well...

Sounds like what you need is mod_rewrite.
