Apache will not change to typed in directories.

[jdobbs]

Hi,

I have finially got a RedHat v.7.3 server running with Apache ( I did this tutorial to get everything loaded up:

http://www.esensualstudios.com/linux.php

). I am having a weird problem though. I can type

http://192.168.1.5/

into IE6 and I get a directory listing of Apache. This I know is because I do NOT have an index.html file created yet. The real problem comes in if I type in

http://192.168.1.5/images/

... I get page not found. The images directory is there and I can see it if I just do

http://192.168.1.5

... I can enter this directory if I click it from the root of my webserver but not if I type it in. Why is Apache doing this?

RedHat 7.3
Apache v.1.3.27
PHP v.4.2.3
MySQL v.3.23.52
ModSSL v.2.8.11
ModPERL v.1.0
OpenSSL v.0.9.6
Curl v.7.10

Thanks for the help,
Jason Dobbs

Hi,

Are you entering and image file name?
ex:

http://192.168.1.5/images/pic1.jpg

Nope this is just to change directories say I wanted to goto the client2 folder such as

http://192.168.1.5/client2

... When I do this I get page not found. But I found out if I put a trailing '/' I get the page. So to sum up my problem:

Does NOT Work -->

http://192.168.1.5/client2

Does Work ------>

http://192.168.1.5/client2/

Anyone have any ideas why?

Because "..../client2/" is explicitly a directory, while ".../client2" can be interpreted as a file.

For more information, look for a section titled "Trailing Slash Problem" on this page:
