Apache: Need backslash to indicate directory?

kipbenson4 · 08-12-2003, 07:37 PM

I searched for apache-related posts before asking this, but I didn't find anything relevant. It's similar, but not quite the same as the DirectoryIndex directive problem, I think.

I have direcories in my htdocs, so I want to be able to access them in the following ways:

http://myserver/sandbox/ (1)
http://myserver/sandbox (2)

(1) works like a champ, going to whatever I've specified in DirectoryIndex, but (2) gives a browser error--NOT from Apache.

What can I do to auto-insert the backslash so apache doesn't think it's trying to access a file?

Thanks!

You need to have this in your httpd.conf file:

UseCanonicalName On

It already was on, so I tried turning it off:

UseCanonicalName Off

That seemed to do the trick!

Thanks for the tip.
