It was nice meeting you? or it was nice to meeting you?
I heard someone say "it was nice to meeting you" the other day. I thought it was "it was nice meeting you" (without "to") for a long time, because I was thinking that "to" couldn't be followed by gerunds (except "looking forward to ~ing").

Do both "it was nice meeting you" and "it was nice to meeting you" mean the same thing?
