I have set "AcceptPathInfo On" in my VHost

and restarted Apache but it does not work.

$_SERVER[PATH_INFO] and $_SERVER[PATH_TRANSLATED] return  empty  strings
and in

    /doc/apache2-doc/manual/mod/core.html#acceptpathinfo

it is written:

----8<------------------------------------------------------------------
This directive controls whether requests that contain trailing pathname
information that follows an actual filename (or non-existent file in an
existing directory) will be accepted or rejected. The trailing pathname
information can be made available to scripts in the PATH_INFO
environment variable.

For example, assume the location /test/ points to a directory that
contains only the single file here.html. Then requests for
/test/here.html/more and /test/nothere.html/more both collect /more as
PATH_INFO.

The three possible arguments for the AcceptPathInfo directive are:

Off    A request will only be accepted if it maps to a literal path that
       exists. Therefore a request with trailing pathname information
       after the true filename such as /test/here.html/more in the above
       example will return a 404 NOT FOUND error.
On     A request will be accepted if a leading path component maps to a
       file that exists. The above example /test/here.html/more will be
        accepted if /test/here.html maps to a valid file.
----8<------------------------------------------------------------------

So why ist the VARIABLE always empty?

For example I have

    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html /DirIndex.php

and if I enter an empty directory like

    /debian-devel/pool/main/

it execute /DirIndex.php and should generate a Directory Listing but:

    PATH_INFO		<empty>
    PATH_TANSLATED	<empty>
    SCRIPT_NAME		/DirIndex.php
    SCRIPT_FILENAME	/var/www/net.tamay-dogan.debian.devel/htdocs/DirIndex.php

But the URL show me /debian-devel/pool/main/

I have read it but nothing is working.  Any hints?
