Hi You mean something like Apache’s mod\_dir’s DirectorySlash. I’ve just tried and it works atomatically for me on a clean nginx install, no need to configure anything. When you visit localhost/myweb, besides IE giving an error, does the address turn to “myweb/” or not? Is nginx correctly issuing the HTTP 301 redirect? Can you try with Firefox and the LiveHTTPHeaders extension and verify this? Could you post your config?

Hi > 192.168.1.19 - - [01/Mar/2010:10:42:33 +0800] “GET /myweb HTTP/1.1” 301 178 “-” “Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trid > ent/4.0; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.648; .NET CLR 3.5.21022)” nginx seems to be issuing the 301 HTTP redirect redirect, notice the 301 after the GET. What’s your URL after you go to [http://domain/myweb](http://domain/myweb) and get the error? According to that log you’ve received a redirect and it should have changed to [http://domain/myweb/](http://domain/myweb/). Does it show domain or localhost? You’re using localhost as the server\_name, I’m not sure if maybe nginx is using that domain to issue the Location on the redirect. If you’re testing this from a different machine than your server it will sure fail. Please try with the LiveHTTPHeaders Firefox plugin and tell us what Location: are you being redirected to on the HTTP 301. Regards – Vicente A.
