...sorry, not off the root of the server...me not reading good :-\

The thing is, http://www.mysite.org/mypage is looking for a page to load called
'mypage', which of course does not exist, it's a directory. Loading
www.mysite.org automagically looks for 'index.html' or the like, but as soon as
you add a dir off the root, you need to add that trailing /. I'm not sure this
is something to be 'fixed', I believe it is normal behaviour.

Blast me to hell if I am wrong ;-)
