[Phpwiki-talk] Not recognize USE_PATH_INFO = false

[Robin C. <rsc...@gt...>]

Hi,

I installed phpwiki v.1.3.4 a few weeks ago - made some minor
adjustments and everything worked great. The only problem was a 5-8
second delay for loading pages (using PEAR + MYSQL). It worked fine with
the USE_PATH_INFO set to false (ie. links would be created using
index.php?pagename=HomePage, etc.)

Before I started troubleshooting the speed problems, I wanted to start
with a clean slate - so I removed all the phpwiki files and reinstalled
it using the exact same tarball I used a few weeks earlier.  Now I can't
get the links to work (they create the index.php/HomePage,  and no I
don't want to use this function).  I've set USE_PATH_INFO to false in
the index.php (and anywhere else I could find it.)  I've tried
everything I can think of to make it work - but to no avail.  Any
thoughts?  How could I trouble shoot this (I'm still learning PHP)

Server:  RH 8.0, Apache 2.0.40, php 4.2.3 (remained unchanged from prior
install)

TIA
Robin

This is a well known bug (at least since 12.12.02)... if you have your wiki
not in an subfolder of your domain, then the CSS-path is sent wrong to the
browser. The browser then tries to load this css (with an invalid domain
path). This takes 2-8 seconds).

No one of the developer is able to check this in...

So you have to fix it by yourself:

Index: config.php

>     $temp = "";
