    I’m working on a new site with an install of ExpressionEngine that I just updated to 1.70.  I don’t know if this is even an EE issue, but when the urls of the site are entered with a / afterward (ie: http://dobrin-han.com/index.php/site/profiles/people/) the user gets a 404.  When the url is entered without the / (ie: http://dobrin-han.com/index.php/site/profiles/people) the page displays perfectly.

    This is causing issues when I try to use the SAEF, because it directs the form to a path that the server doesn’t seem to recognize.

    I’m scratching my head on this one.  Thanks in advance for any help people can provide.

    Will,

    You are running on a Windows environment and I believe this to be a server issue more than an EE issue. Can you contact your host and let them know what’s going on?

    I think you’re right, John.  Thank you.

    Hi all,

    I think that John is correct and that it is a server issue, but I was able to solve the problem by changing the “Force URL query strings” option in Output and Debugging to “yes.”

    Best,

    Will
