Apache2 Trailing Slash Problem

xwastedmindx · 10-20-2003, 07:44 PM

I'm having problems with this.
I've read up on it within the Docs on the Apache site.. but no help there.
It's all too complicated

I have my domain name...

I would like it to be like this:
http://mydomain.com/section1

But I have to type it like this: (with the trailing Slash)
http://mydomain.com/section1/

Is there no easy way to fix this?
Without using Mod_Rewrite -- I've tried, and no luck there.

Thanks in advance.

mod_dir (http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_dir.html) is the one that is responsible for this I believe. And if your still stuck try and look at your "ServerName" directive' as in:

ServerName http://www.you.com/
(Wrong)

ServerName www.you.com
(Right)

I know the severname directive is set correctly.
And I also have the mod_dir installed.

But it still doesn't work correctly.
I read that it's suppose to "auto-redirect" to add the trailing slash if the end user doesn't put one in the URL.

Hmm.

Although you can't run that command with the 'httpd' -- I did happen to run across something unusual using -- ./httpd configtest and apachectl configest

I seem to be running 2 instances of Apache.
Version 2 and version 1.3

maybe this is my problem?

I dunno if this is the prob. But you should look at this closely if you got an error.

No errors. But what I did find is that a few stray Apache 1.3 modules were installed.
Strange..
At least now the 'configtest' doesnt say I'm running Apache 1.3
