404 error for extension

[ThinkGeekness]

I have Apache 1.3.26, and this question is hard to word, but I will try...

I can get to the main page fine, its just that pages like name.com/othername doesnt work, I get a 404 error. The way that I have it layed out is for name.com i have index.html in /name. I also have /name/othername with the index.html file in it, but it doesnt seem to work. Is there some setting in httpd.conf that I am missing?

Thanks

I suspect your apache does not recognize index.html is the one to look up when request receive to access name/ directory.

check to see if your httpd.conf having below statement for your name/ directory ..

<Directory /home/httpd/html/name>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm
...

good luck!

Thanks for your reply, I added

<Directory /home/httpd/html/name>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm
</Directory>

but I got the following error message when I restarted Apache:

Syntax error on line 1051 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Multiple <Directory> arguments not (yet) supported.

I search through httpd.conf and I found:

<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.html
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm
</IfModule>

Thanks

I just figured out what it was, I needed to add a &quot;/&quot; at the end, so I would have to do

http://www.name.com/othername/.

Is there anyway so that I dont have to add the extra &quot;/&quot; at the end?

Thanks.

Do you have a trailing slash in your 'Directory' directive?

<Directory &quot;/var/

http://www/html&quot;>

There should be NO trailing slash.

No, I do not have a slash at the end of the directory.
