[tabish]

Hello,

I am facing strange problem with my subdomains, for example:

[subdomian.mydomain.com...] (it doesnt work)

[subdomian.mydomain.com...] (it works)

So if i dont put trailing slash after my directory, my browser gets hang and wont display anything.. i will keep waiting waiting for ages..

Please help me.

If it hangs "forever" instead of giving you an error, that indicates a misconfiguration or an error in existing configuration or .htaccess code.

Normally, Apache mod_dir [httpd.apache.org] will append missing trailing slashes, so you might want to investigate that as well.

Also, check your server error log file -- It often contains very useful information.

I contacted my server people.. they are saying..

You must add the trailing slash after the word or it will look in that directory for a file "directory" not a directory.

What is this now?

The server is misconfigured, or does not have mod_dir loaded. See the link in my post above, and read the document.

If the directory does not have a DirectoryIndex file and the directory is very long (has a lot of files), the server could take a very long time to generate the directory listing, especially if you have a lot of extra info like descriptions, etc.
