Leo,
Not sure if you've checked this yet, but my httpd.conf

I think these are the lines which tell Apache to check
for an index.html when just the bare URL is requested.
Maybe your index style is not listed??
HTH
Bill.

Here is an example of what I mean, go to www.bluesnews.com/quake3 it will
AUTOMATICALLY add the / to the end and not give a not found error. How do I
get this to work on my server?
