mod_rewrite and /

When you type in a url without a filename, e.g. www.google.com/, it
automatically looks for index.php (or whatever your web server is
configured to look for). I am having the problem where my CMS is
returning a page not found in this case.

Try typing in http://www.quick2m.com/izzy -- you get 404
Try typing in http://www.quick2m.com/izzy/index.php -- you get the
homepage

Is this something I can fix with mod_rewrite? How would I write a rule
that looks for a blank URL line and replaces it with index.php?

thanks,
Kevin

No, this shouldn't normally happen.
Check
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/de/...directoryslash
and Directory-Index-Setting.

alt.apache.configuration would be a much better place to ask this question.

Hi Kevin,

I would suggest checking your apache httpd.conf file.

Look for DirectoryIndex and it should be something like this:

DirectoryIndex index.php index.xml index.html index.htm index.jsp

This should then allow you to find those pages when you just type in
e.g www.google.co.uk
