Blog won't load at root directory without /

[capnken]

I have a curious issue with my install - If I go to the root directory of my blog without adding the trailing "/", the blog doesn't load.

Doesn't load

Is there a configuration setting somewhere I'm missing?

Thanks.

This is an issue of your webserver which does not seem to honour the .htaccess file of serendipity or the proper "DirectoryIndex" virtual host directive.

I am experiencing something that may be related this. My blog is installed in the root. In my case the trouble is that I cannot access any (OUTSIDE THE BLOG) files either in the root, in a folder or in sub-domains. They are all redirected to the root. For example:

myblog.com is the location of serendipity, but if i try to access

myblog.com/file.html

or

myblog.com/folder/file.html

or subdomain.myblog.com/file.html

or even

subdomain.myblog.com/folder/file.html

all are re-directed to myblog.com

anything I can do?

Wonderful. Thanks very much. While I have your attention, could you be so kind as to direct me to the installation instructions for the serendipity_event_forum. I can't seem to find them, and there is no documentation provided in the downloaded files.


Love the script so far, btw --

Hi!

Usually installing Plugins is very easy: Either you download the ZIP file from http://spartacus.s9y.org/ or you use the Spartacus Serendipity Event plugin, and then installing a plugin can be done through the admin panel just like any other plugin.

I think you went the route and downloaded the ZIP file? In that case, just unzip that into your /plugins/ folder. Then go to your s9y admin panel, go to "configure plugins", go to "Click here to install an event plugin", search the list until you spot th eFourm plugin and click on the install button next to it.
