Mod Rewrite causes problem with slash for directories

Asked by hankknight in Apache Web Server

I use the Mod Rewrite Engine to direct all queries that are not to an exsiting file or directory to index.php.

The problem is that now if someone forgets to add a slash to a directory they get a 404 error.

If a user uses this URI:
http://www.example.com/dir

If /dir/ is a directory that exsists then the visitor should AUTOMATICLALY be directed to
http://www.example.com/dir/

But now the slash is not automatically added.
