Directories failing to display
I am running Apache on RedHat 7.2 i386 platform.
I have directory Indexes turned off.
I have my DirectoryIdex set up correctly.
When I attempt to view my site I am immediately brought to the correct page.
However, once on the site if I try to get to a directory like:
http://mysite.com/directory
I get a 404 error.
But if I attempt to get to the directory by:
http://mysite.com/directory/
the default page for that directory displays.
Now say that another directory is password protected. If I attempt to get there by:
http://mysite.com/anotherdirectory
I am asked for the password, but no default page is displayed.
I want to be able to type in the directory without the trailing / and be brought to the directories default page. What is wrong with my configuration?
Thank you in advance,
Chris
