Hi there!

I'm faced with a strange problem after I shifted the server of one of my sites. When I type a particular url (of a directory of the sub-doamin of the site), then it redirects to a page which doesn't exist at all if not folloed by a backslash. Here's what I mean concisely-

sub-domain.mysite.com/directory/- works fine.

sub-domain.mysite.com/directory - redirects to mysite.com/directory, which actually doesn't exist.


This is driving me nuts and I have no idea what to do. I'll be grateful if someone here could come up with the error and the possible fix. I'm not too familiar with hosting so kindly explain a bit in lenght or refer me some resources where I can learn about the problem and the possible solutions.

Thanks and regards,

Did you try setting UseCanonicalName in your httpd.conf to "On"? I'm not sure if this will actually help but the default is "Off" and that is often a source of confusion and unexpected Apache behaviour.

Hey, hw-tph, your guess was spot-on. That exactly was the problem. I've made the changes as you suggested, and it's working perfectly fine now.

Thanks a ton!
