    ahh.. the "trailing slash" problem with Apache..

    <URL: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/apache/2004/02/19/apache_ckbk.html?page=2>

    a quote from the above article:
    "The "trailing slash" problem can be caused by one of two configuration
    problems: an incorrect or missing value of ServerName, or an Alias with
    a trailing slash that doesn't work without it."

    Try reading that and double-checking your configuration.
