Right after our default install the home page link doesn't work (3 posts)

    If I click the already included link "About" it works fine
    url - http://blogtest.technologystudios.com/blog/about/

    If I click the home link "Home" it breaks
    http://blogtest.technologystudios.com/blog

    (its missing the forward slash at the end)

    In my browser I can add the forward slash manually at the end and it will launch the home page successfully. http://blogtest.technologystudios.com/blog/

    In the settings section we have tried to add the forward slash but it will not keep it
    Blog address (URL) field

    In Apache we have tried a "redirect" in the virtual host section for the blog (redirect permanent /blog http://site.com/blog/)

    any help would be appreciated

    thanks

    The site is not accessible from the outside. It is currently only setup as an internal link.

    The issue is on the main "blog" page in the default setup. We just installed WP and followed the setup dialogs. We now have a default blog. On the main home page (http://blogtest.technologystudios.com/blog/) there are two links on the left navigation column. They are "About" and "Home" The "Home" link is (http://blogtest.technologystudios.com/blog") without the trailing "/". When clicking the link we get the 404 error url /blog was not found.

    If we add the trailing slash it works.

    I think apache is seeing /blog as file which does not exist. And /blog/ as a directory as it should.

    How do we make WP put the trailing slash in or change apache to see /blog as a directory?
