Weird problem with webserver...
 

I'm running slack 9.1 w/ apache, mysql, php, the usual LAMP configuration. But recently I noticed this problem... it just appeared outta nowhere (can't track it back to when it started to appear):

If I want to access a directory I have to type 192.168.2.4/dir/ in order to actually access it. If i try 192.168.2.4/dir (without the finishing /), the browser just keeps trying to connect without any success at all (it just says Connecting to linux.home.net... and it dies after a minute).

What could be the problem?

Normally when you request 192.168.2.4/dir, the web server just sends a redirect to 192.168.2.4/dir/ (slash added), and your browser immediately requests that, and you get the content. That redirection response seems disabled in your server.
