    <p>I've recently come across some strange behavior with directory requests in URLs on Apache servers. I'm fairly new to Apache servers and HTACCESS stuff, so maybe someone can fill me in about this.</p> <p>If there is a sub-directory called "example" on a server and I try to request this directory by typing www.example.com/example/ everything works as expected. The Apache server looks for the default.php, index.php, and others as expected. If I type www.example.com/test and there is no file or directory corresponding to "test" I get a 404 error as expected. Here's where it gets weird, if you type in www.example.com/example (and www.example.com/example/ exists) the server doesn't even return a 404. In fact it either redirect loops or I end up getting a "www.example.com/example does not exist or is not available." from my ISP. Is this suppose to happen?</p> <p>Here is where it is giving me a problem. I have a simple HTACCESS file that redirects all requests to a query string:</p> <pre><code>Options +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews -Indexes &lt;IfModule mod_rewrite.c&gt; RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^styles/[\d]{10}/(.*)\.(css|jpg|gif)$ styles/$1.$2 [NC,L] RewriteRule ^scripts/[\d]{10}/(.*)\.(js|jpg|gif)$ scripts/$1.$2 [NC,L] RewriteRule \.(css|jpe?g|png|gif|js|ico)$ - [L] RewriteRule ^(.+)$ default.php?page=$1 [QSA,L,NC] &lt;/IfModule&gt; </code></pre> <p>This works fine about 99% of the time. Then there is the directories issue I described above. Whether or not the HTACCESS is present, if a directory is requested without the ending slash, everything fails, and this occurs on both my local server and on my shared host with Godaddy. Thing is, I need the any and all requests such as </p> <blockquote> <p>www.example.com/example</p> </blockquote> <p>to go to </p> <blockquote> <p>default.php?page=example</p> </blockquote> <p>even if there is a directory </p> <blockquote> <p>/example/</p> </blockquote> <p>listed.</p> <p>Also, I've looked over the rewrite logs, if the directory is requested without the trailing slash, the Apache server doesn't even get a chance to process the HTACCESS file. </p> <p>Anyone have any solutions?</p>

    1. COI tried your rewrite rules on my own server and it redirects to default.php with or without the ending slash.. What do your apache/httpd.conf files look like? Also, are you sure that the default.php isn't trying something interesting?

    2. COShould just work. Apache executes rewrite rules before looking inside folders.

    3. COI've tried this with the proper default.php and with a dummy and the result is the same. Gerben, that's what I thought. This is why this problem is so puzzling. Even weirder, I enabled http access logs and it doesn't print out anything for directory requests that don't have the trailing slash. I looked over the httpd.conf file and I didn't see anything out of the ordinary. It's a pretty standard Apache configuration for WAMP 2.0. I modified it a little for .htaccess, but I've already placed the default file back in to test and the result is the same. Also, this happens with my shared hosting.

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
