Hi, I use an apache rewrite rule on the server to force a trailing slash to be appended if the requested file is a really a directory:
Inside virtual host & <Directory ...>: [snip] <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d #is requested file a directory? RewriteRule ^(.+[^/])$ $1/ [L,R] #append trailing slash redirect </IfModule> [snip] So: www.mystite.com/dir would become: www.mystite.com/dir/ ... hence the the index file will be served Regards, Ulrik -----Original Message----- From: loll [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 17 May 2004 3:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] Re: weird problem with index page Hi, Thanks for th einfo, after beating myself all day over it, I have determined that it only seesm to be an issue when using Internet Explorer, using opera or mozilla it seems to work as it should, so I really dont understand now. Checked the apache setting you meantioned and it seems to already be set to OFF. Anyway, with all these troubles I thought perhaps I would try upgrading php by creating a CGI version (the server has mod 4.2.2 installed). I managed to get the binary to create correctly, I can use it from the command line (tested it by using ./php.cgi phpinfo.php) but when I try to get it to work from the browser , I end up at best with a error 500. *sigh* Can't seem to find anythign that works can I?
