FAQ: Short URL's do not work for me ( Apache2 )

After enabling Short URLs in 

        'Admin - Base' 
            -> 'Modify Config' 
                -> 'Website Display Configuration' 
                    -> 'Enable Short URLs '

and 

        'Admin - Articles'
            -> 'Modify Config' 
                -> 'Global Configuration'          
                    -> 'Support Short URLs'

you get a 'Error 404: Object not found'. You're using Apache Version >
2.0.30.

The problem is a changed default behaviour of the Apache Web Server. A
directive was introduced to get the old behaviour back. Look at
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#acceptpathinfo.

You have to add this directive to your http.conf file. Add

AcceptPathInfo On

at a approptiate place in you're httpd.conf. You can do it at the following
places 'Server Config', 'Virtual Host', 'Directory' or in a '.htaccess'
file.
