there is an file "index.html" at http://www.mysite.org/mypage and it loads fine without the trailing "/" There is also an "index.php" file under /mypage. > ...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 /.

On another server, I have Squirrelmail running and can access that by typing http://www.mysite.org/squirrelmail. Same story, the browser appends a "/" in the address bar when the page loads But when I try type in http://www.mysite.org/mypage I get the error message. Obviously, something is happening on the other server if I can type the directory name without the trailing "/" and apache knows to look for the index.php file in that directory.
