Moving Server - $_SERVER[PATH_INFO]

[sparkle99]

I'm having to move SC 3.1.0 to a new server. When I asked if $_SERVER[PATH_INFO] is supported I'm told that;
The Fasthosts shared Linux servers support the following which appear to return the same information as $_SERVER[PATH_INFO]:

_SERVER["REDIRECT_URL"]
_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]
_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"]
_SERVER["ORIG_PATH_INFO"]

Does that mean I am able to use this hosting and still have SEO optimised urls? Any advice would be welcomed.

I can never guarantee that our SEO URLs feature will work on any host. However, it is designed to also work with $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] and $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] when $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] is not available. So, in theory it should work. You would need to try it to be sure.

You can get a very good idea if it will work by putting the attached file on your server, loading it in a browser, and following the instructions.

Hi Jamie,
Thanks for your reply.
I have a hosting account with Fasthosts already (although the site is dormant) and I loaded the attachment.php file there. I've run it but don't get any conclusive output from it.

The file is at:
http://www.petstalk.org.uk/attachment.php
Can you determine from this whether the server will support your SEO url feature?

To run the test, you click the link. It's not working because you changed the name of the file.

That was a bit silly of me! Hadn't spotted the file name had changed. Runs Ok now and says that server supports seo urls.
As usual, many thanks for your help Jamie.
