As I understand it, http://domain.com/sendmail-howto should resolve first to http://domain.com/sendmail-howto/index.<suffix>, where suffix is usually html, or shtml, or php, or whatever. I believe the order of attempting a match is determined by the order the suffixes are declares in the config file, but I'm no expert -- just a voice in the middle of the night. :-) I am not aware of any way to get apache to try to tack a suffix onto the name, only a filename onto the path. -- -------- "And there came a writing to him from Elijah" [2Ch 21:12] -------- R.
