I've done some more debugging on this, and seem to have found the
problem. I had to comment out the lines
# This may happen when using mod_python
#if scriptAndPath.startswith(location):
# self.path_info = scriptAndPath[len(location):]
in request.py (about line 509 in version 1.5.6). Since I'm not using
mod_python, I'm assuming it's OK. The problem is that it was leaving the
".fcg/" prepended to the pagename in the path_info variable.
Comments?
