URLs not working without trailing /

[kwerk]

I have a LAMP setup I am messing with but there is something weird going on with the URLS. I have to put a / on the end or it won't work

It works if I type

http://192.168.0.100/test/

It doesn't work if I type the URL as

http://192.168.0.100/test

I get redirected to http://webserv.com/test

Is there a setting I can change somewhere?

Could you provide some more details, like which Linux distribution you're running, which webserver you've selected and perhaps stick the configuration file for that webserver software up on Pastebin or something?

Might well be wrong, but it could be an issue with Apache's mod_dir.

Have a read of this and compare it to your httpd.conf: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_dir.html

From a filesystem perspective, Apache treats dir as different to dir/ so if you visit url/dir it redirects the request to url/dir/

It uses the server name configuration directive to build the redirect URL. So if your server name doesn't work, it will redirect to a URL that doesn't work.

Look for a ServerName variable in httpd.conf and change it to 192.168.0.100 (or to a DNS name that works if you have one)

I changed the ServerName setting in the conf from "webserv" to the hostname of the server and that works now thanks.
