With CakePHP 1.x sites rather than use .htaccess files and associated 
performance hit on production machines I've always added a section to the 
apache virtual host config like this….

        <Directory "/path/to/serverdocs/mysiteroot/app/webroot/">
                Options All +MultiViews -ExecCGI -Indexes
                AllowOverride None
                <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
                        RewriteEngine On
                        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
                        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
                        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
                </IfModule>
        </Directory>

Which has always worked fine.

Now I am switching to 2.x I read that the .htaccess file has changed, comparing 
old and new the only change I see is that the rewrite rule has changed from...

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]

to...

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [QSA,L]

…so I changed this in my virtual host config but it doesn't work - I get the 
classic mod_rewrite not working sign of a plain page with no CSS. The old 1.x 
way with index.php?url=$1 still seems to work fine with my 2.x site.

So am I missing something here or should I stick with the old way?
