My guess is your ServerName is set to something that doesn't exist from the perspective of your browser. When you request http://127.0.0.1/somedir it generates a 301 Moved Permanently to whatever was in your ServerName (plus the path and some other stuff), at which point your browser tries to resolve that new host. If it cannot it will hang until timeout. > http://127.0.0.1/somedir/ This one doesn't generate a 301 since it is a properly formed URL (it references a real resource). > it works.
