Hi Eric: Didn't work, I added Options -MultiViews to both the document root and the specific directory (one below the root) where the page used to be, did an apachectl stop and start (not graceful as I wanted to be sure everything got reloaded) and Apache is still serving the source for the deleted page. The only thing I can think of is that the deleted page is an html page and the link is to a php page so the php-fpm processor is not being invoked for some reason on the link. But it still shouldn't be able to serve a page that doesn't exist! Finally, I figured maybe the MultiViews was generating a map using the only page. file with an html extension (page.html.old) so I moved it to another directory, reset the link and I still get the source displayed. The browser URL line shows that pagex.html is being displayed and not page.php so Apache must be ignoring the link. I think the source gets displayed because the browser has no idea how to display a page with extension "old". (not surprising!) Any suggestions as to where to go next?
