That's fine too, because non-PHP files should always be delivered by
Apache. Files in DokuWiki are delivered by fetch.php which is a PHP
script. If that doesn't work anymore it means they use a very messed
up method of deciding if a file is a PHP file or not.


An update on this: subsequent events have proven Andreas right.
Webfaction has modified its setup again, no doubt because they
received strong complaints from others also.

Now they check whether a file actually exists to decide whether
that url goes to the main apache server or not. The effect is
that no rewrite rules are required anymore to serve php urls
properly. This is as it should be and as it was before.

Thanks,

Jan
