Hello,

i have a problem with my php/apache server.

if a user goes to the URL http://url/index.php/ (extra slash) he will
NOT get an error but a page without any image

how can i return a 404 error ?

i tested

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/(.*) $1

but doesn't work :-(

I'm not sure I understand what you want from mod_rewrite, but here,
something like "/index.php/" will be rewriten
"/index.php/" (no change, you rule does not do anything in
fact).

If you want it to be rewriten in "/index.php" , maybe you should
try:

RewriteRule ^/(.*)/.* $1

Everything of the form "/something/bla/blo/foo" will be rewritten to
"/something".

Is it what you want? mod_rewrite can return HTTP error (see
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html)
