Hi,

Her is the problem

this domain works fine
http://www.domain.com/test/

this is not working
http://www.domain.com/test

where do I configure to run work both proberly.


Thanks

If your domain is resolving, both should be working. Try this line in your <VirtualHost> block:

ServerAlias domain.com www.domain.com

Check out if you use MultiViews directive

Change it to -MultiViews

Options -MultiViews

Also, make sure that in the <VirtualHost> block you have this entry:

ServerName www.domain.com

Because when Apache sees a directory without a trailing slash, it will automatically forward you to the ServerName + the request URI

thats because /test is a directory and Apache doesn't know how to handle it.. whereas /test/ asks Apache to serve the contents of ../test/ and based on the DirectoryIndex directive it throws up either index.html or whatever is there in /test/

If you want /test also to work Put

Alias /test ~/test/index.html

in httpd.conf and restart Apache

If you want /test also to work Put

Alias /test ~/test/index.html

in httpd.conf and restart Apache

But wouldn't that be the case if only /test was the directory not working? What if all the directories on the server were doing this?

I didn't quite understand the question! :)

As far as I know, that is the way for Apache to recognize what you are requesting. The correct way to call a file is to call

www.somenonsense.com/directory/filename.extn

but you can save some typing by putting a DirectoryIndex directive and make filename.extn as the default.

If you want

www.somenonsense.com/anydirectory

to show the default file[s] in that directory I dont know how to do it :)
