Sounds like a configuration issue.

First thing I'd do is put a script (PHP) in the directories that
echoes back what it sees as the URL being requested.  Possible that
the forwarding DNS service isn't serving up an A record but doing a
redirect possibly.

I had a semi-similar issue with a site that had subdirectories and an
index.php in each subdirectory.   Cherokee had to be told to handle
URL's with no file provided with default action of loading index.php.

I handled that with a REDIRECTION rule:

Regular Expression: ^(.+)$

Handler: Redirection

Type: Internal

Regular Expression: ^/(.*)$

Substitution: $1/index.php

Sounds like what you need exactly...

I have that rule just above the DEFAULT catch-all rule.

Hope that helps!
