Hi,

I have an issue with my apache configuration. Right now, when users
omit a trailing slash on the end of the URL, it will bring up a 404 not
found error. How do I make it so the trailing slash is not required?

For example:

http://as.ucsd.edu - works
http://as.ucsd.edu/finance - does not work
http://as.ucsd.edu/finance/ - works
http://as.ucsd.edu/council - does not work
http://as.ucsd.edu/council/ - works

Thanks!

Every web master could sing a song about traling slashes (or lack of),
in the Apache docs there are a number of examples of how to use
mod_rewrite to circumvent the problem. Have a look at those and see if
any of them fit your needs.

Thanks Davide for the tip, I'll take a look a the docs and I'll see if
any of them will work for me.
