I had a problem installing Pligg today where it would display a blank page with just "No input file specified." for many pages when using URLMethod 2 (clean URLs with mod_rewrite).

After much searching on the forums and googling I couldn't find an answer, and it even seemed to be a problem affecting users of other packages too (galleries, blogs, etc).

The solution turns out to be a simple one in my case and I thought I'd document it here for other hapless individuals that might come across this:

Turn off MultiViews. It seems when MultiViews is enabled there is confusion between MultiViews and the RewriteRules. So if you go to /user there will be no problem, MultiViews will translate it to /user.php. However when you go to /user/blah/login/blah or one of the other more complex clean URLs it gets confused.

Simply turning off MultiViews solved this with an
Code:
Options -MultiViews
in the .htaccess file (or add "-MultiViews" to your existing "Options" line if you have one in there already).
