Description

I recently noticed that clicking on the wiki link in my trac instance would create an infinite redirect loop between myserver.com/wiki and myserver.com/wiki/ (with and without a trailing slash). To solve the problem, I had to add

DirectorySlash off

to my apache configuration to stop it appending a trailing slash to the URL.

Strangely, only the wiki link was affected, while the timeline, roadmap, etc links were fine.

This isn't a problem with trac, but it would be nice if the documentation mentioned the need to use this setting when mod_dir is being used.

Well, I guess this ticket is enough.

(try to see if the "google loop" works: google:"trac+mod_dir"… yes, back here ;-) ).
