Cliff may have a good point -- I'd definitely at least try that. I'm tending to think that what you're seeing is the external redirect that Apache is doing for the trailing-slash. Have you tried accessing the site using the trailing slash (or even going directly to /index.cfm) to see if it's having the same effect?
If you're not using relative path links on the index.cfm page for images/hrefs, then you might be able to override the external redirect behavior. Google "mod rewrite" or "trailing slash Apache" and you'll find: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/misc/rewriteguide.html Which has a small section on trailing-slash redirects (how to put them in httpd.conf): RewriteEngine on RewriteBase /~quux/ RewriteRule ^foo$ foo/ [R] How exactly you would do this for the root directory, I am not 100% certain (not having needed to previously do this myself), however if you leave off the "[R]" bit, it should *not* externally force the browser to redirect... but the browser will think that it is in the right spot, and any relative links will be off. YMMV, but I hope this helps. --Ben -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 16, 2005 3:21 PM To: CF-Linux Subject: RE: Apache/CFMX/RHEL Problem Thanks, Ben. Here is an extract from the 'httpd.conf' file: <VirtualHost x.x.x.x> ServerName www.nameofsite.co.uk ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] DocumentRoot /home/sites/www.nameofsite.co.uk/web ServerAlias nameofsite.co.uk www.name-of-site.co.uk name-of-site.co.uk ErrorLog /home/sites/www.nameofsite.co.uk/logs/error_log TransferLog "|rotatelogs /home/sites/www.nameofsite.co.uk/logs/access_log 604800 LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" </VirtualHost> When accessing the Home Page, the browser automatically appends the '/' and then the page is displayed (plus the multiple log entries). When any other page is browsed, the URL becomes (for example): http://www.nameofsite.co.uk/index.cfm?fuseaction=about.index .....and you only get one log entry for the page. According to my (very basic) understanding of Apache, 'ServerName' shouldn't have a trailing '/'. Is there a global setting where this should be added for all domains or am I missing something? Apache is version 1.3.x Many thanks, Matt. > Just an odd thought -- are you accessing the site w/ the same *exact* > URL as specified in httpd.conf? > E.g. if your conf says: "http://www.google.com"; (no trailing whack), > are you entering the same thing, or "http://www.google.com/"; (trailing > whack) ...
