.htaccess problems - changing a URL

[gumbald]

Got myself hosting the other day, just started to do some personal site building.

Using tsohost, I built a site for someone else and didn't have the same problems, can't understand what's different.

The problem is that I can get to my homepage with the address:

http://gumbald.co.uk

However, when you click on "links" at the top, it navigates to "http://gumbald.co.uk/links" but then the URL shows as "http://gumbald.tsohost.co.uk/links"...

I'm guessing this is to do with my going into a directory, rather than the site I built before having everything in the same root. Reason I've done it this way is to tidy up the addresses not make them longer

Can anybody give me some hints as to how to handle this in my .htaccess file? Can't seem to find a proper resource about it, just lots of forum posts. Previous attempts have resulted in it changing to the address "http://gumbald.co.uk/links/links" or FF giving an error implying a loop with 2 conflicting rules.

Hope that all makes sense and hope somebody can help

EDIT: It is to do with moving into another directory, just confirmed that.

Have a look at URL rewriting and Canonical URLs. There's some good examples in the apace manuals.

It would appear it is fixed by putting a trailing slash...

And I've finally found the Apache guide, don't know why I didn't look there in the first place
