Hello All,

Once again I am waist deep in server-foolery.

Thanks to this place I got several sites hosted off of my local machine.

But the other day my girlfriend asked for a blog, and of course, I said no problem. wrong.

I installed wordpress and for the most part, all is well, except for 1 little annoyance.

if you go to tiffanycalvert.com/blog/ all is well.

if you go to tiffanycalvert.com/blog (<----notice no trailing slash) it flips the address to the ip and port address and then adds the trailing slash. And of course, I find this to be the most annoying thing ever right now.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to remedy this? I guess what I'm looking for is something that will auto add the trailing slash.

I have experimented with mod_rewrite, mod_dir and htaccess, but cant seem to get anything to work.

Thanks,

-j

You won't need to muck around with mod_rewrite, mod_dir or htaccess if your config is set up the way you want it. Can you post a snippet of your virtual host config, as well as how your ServerName, NameVirtualHost and other related items are set? Should be a relatively straight-forward fix.

<VirtualHost *:81>
DocumentRoot "/Users/josh/Sites"
ServerName gone.
ErrorLog /Users/josh/Sites/logs/error_log
CustomLog /Users/josh/Sites/logs/access_log combined
<Directory "/Users/josh/Sites">

That was my first course of action, but no dice. It seems as if thats for inside the blog directory, and only works on posts. Thanks.

Another thing I noticed, if you type in any of the .com the addresses, it adds the trailing slash automatically.

odd methinks.
