Apache URL redirect problem

kdogksu · 03-26-2005, 04:15 AM

I have just gotten Apache to work on my webserver after figuring out that my ISP conveniently blocks port 80.

Now I just have one more kink to work out. When I try to access a directory without a trailing slash, my server redirects to Microsoft.com! e.g.
my.url.net:8020/test --> redirects to Microsoft.com
my.url.net:8020/test/ --> displays index.html in 'test' directory
This is a little embarassing! Have I missed a setup option somewhere? (And why Microsoft? Ugh!) Thanks in advance.

I am beginning to think I have that problem. Who is your ISP?

I have broadband access through Cox Communications, although I've read that it's not uncommon for many providers to do this. You can get around it by setting apache to use another port (I arbitrarily picked 8020). If you have a firewalled router, make sure you forward that port to you machine.

I'd still like to know if anyone has any thoughts about the redirect. Thanks!
