Apache slashes

[cliff at cliffmeyers.com]

I've actually seen this problem crop up before from time to time.  What is the
virtual host entry for this website?  And what IP address do you have listed for
the server configuration?  In the past, the trailing slash redirect failed
because I had an invalid domain name set for the main domain name in a
VirtualHost but was instead browsing one of the domain aliases.  When I follow
that link, it tries to redirect me to 127.0.0.1 which seems to indicate that you
have the loopback IP set as the IP address for the server; this usually won't
work.

What file to load upon going to a directory is specificed in the httpd.conf file.
I believe the options is DirectoryIndex
 
typically it has something like:
 
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm
 
which say “if someone goes to a directory, look for one of these files”
if it does not find one of those specified files, it will give an error..
 
so what file(s) is in that directory?

Is there a way to configure apache to accept addresses sent as
http://www.site.com/dir  instead as http://www.site.com/dir/. or at least
automatically put it in. When I load my site without the / it will not load and
some of my servers users (I host web sites) get annoyed by it and asked me to fix
it. I did some google searches and did not find anything usefull. Anyone know of
a fix?I run Apache 2 on Redhat 9.Thanks,
