You've probably already seen this, but just in case: I see in the config file in the "Alias" section, this:
# Alias: Maps web paths into filesystem paths and is used to
   # access content that does not live under the DocumentRoot.
   # Example:
   # Alias /webpath /full/filesystem/path
   #
   # If you include a trailing / on /webpath then the server will
   # require it to be present in the URL.  You will also likely
   # need to provide a <Directory> section to allow access to
   # the filesystem path.

This web page, or these web pages, wouldn't happen to be directed via aliases with trailing slashes, would they? Looks as though that would cause the symptom you
are describing. I doubt this is new behaviour with 2.2, though.

Hi,

I have a web page that works when you include the trailing slash:

http://www.foo.com/blah/

But, if you leave the trailing slash off, it does not work and you get a 403
error:

http://www.foo/com/blah

So, I tried to fix this using some mod_rewrite rules, as follows:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
RewriteRule (.*) $1/ [R,L]

But it seems that the "-d" test is always failing.  If I comment that part
out, then *everything* gets a "/" appended to the end, which of course
doesn't work.  I tried using "!-f" instead, and got similarly bad results.

I've Googled this and read lots of solutions that all look more or less like
what I've posted above, but none of them seem to actually work.

Is there something I'm missing here?

FWIW, I'm running Apache 2.2 on CentOS 5.1.

Thanks for any help you can give!
