Hello all,

We recently upgraded from version 3.16.03.000 to 16.05.05.000 and I migrated to 
a new server at the same time.  We have three catalogs including one where we 
have scanned archival items.  The link to these items was then placed in the 
856$u field and the electronic format in the 856$q field.  Typically this looks 
like 856$u  /directory1/directory2/foo.jpg  |  856$q jpg .  Somewhere along the 
line on the old system, the librarian cataloging these images found that she 
could put in the path to the file in 856$u as just /directory1/directory2/foo 
and put the mime extension in 856$q and the image would appear when the link 
was clicked on.  The actual file on the server is foo.jpg and there is no file 
just named foo .  After our migration and upgrade, this no longer works as 
before.  Since the old machine is still running, I verified that this was the 
case and indeed, a link on the old one that says /directory1/directory2/foo 
opens the scanned image.  The url in the browser address windows says 
/directory1/directory2/foo .  If I change the url to 
/directory1/directory2/foo.jpg the image also appears .  On the new machine 
things changed.  /directory1/directory2/foo returns the error "Not Found The 
requested URL /directory1/directory1/foo was not found on this server".  
Changing the url to /directory1/directory2/foo.jpg fixes things and returns the 
image.

Did something change in Koha?  I am suspicious that this is an Apache or Linux 
thing, but am baffled why this even works on the old one without the complete 
file name.  I am thinking I need to write some SQL to append the 856$q text 
onto the 856$u to fix this, but if there is a config I need to change somewhere 
to get back to the old behavior that would be easiest.  I am open to any 
suggestions.

Thanks,
