NYCPHP Meetup

[Mark Withington]

It appears that my problem stems from the Apache version that I'm running
(version 1.3.XX) - acceptpathinfo directive (e.g. look back) is only
supported in Apache 2.0.30 and above.  I thought I read somewhere that look
back had always been supported in Apache, but it appears that was just
wishful thinking.  If I'm mistaken, please feel free to correct me.

Thanks,

Mark
