title: Apache DirectorySlash Off - Site breaks
body: <p>If i set <code>DirectorySlash Off</code> in my <code>.htaccess</code> file and call the directory <strong>without</strong> the trailing slash i get an <code>403-Forbidden</code> from my server. If i call it with slash everything works fine.</p>
  
  <p>Could anyone explain why? Here are my fully anonymized <code>.htaccess</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code># GLOBAL CONFIG
  Options +FollowSymlinks
  DirectorySlash Off
  AddDefaultCharset utf-8
  php_value post_max_size 256M
  php_value upload_max_filesize 256M
  
  # BEGIN WordPress
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /folder/
  RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule . /folder/index.php [L]
  # END WordPress
  
  # REMOVE WWW
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.domain\.com$ [NC]
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com$1 [R=301,L]
  </code></pre>
