CodingForums.com - Should Local Host have a /

I am wondering if I should or should not have a trailing slash on my Virtual Host that I created to do development on my MacBook.

Here is what I currently have...

1.) My Macintosh HD: private: etc: hosts as follows..

Code:

127.0.0.1 local.one

127.0.0.1 local.debbie

2.) My Applications: MAMP: conf: apache: httpd.conf as follows...

Code:

NameVirtualHost *



<VirtualHost *:80>

# DocumentRoot /Applications/MAMP/htdocs

DocumentRoot "/Users/user1/Documents/DEV/++htdocs"

ServerName localhost

</VirtualHost>



<VirtualHost *:80>

DocumentRoot "/Users/user1/Documents/DEV/++htdocs/00_AAA"

ServerName local.one

</VirtualHost>



<VirtualHost *:80>

DocumentRoot "/Users/user1/Documents/DEV/++htdocs/06_Debbie"

ServerName local.debbie

</VirtualHost>

Someone told me that Apache always appends a "/" after the Domain or Local Host, but I am thinking I should manually define it in the samples above?! :confused:

(Personally, when I go to "www.MySite.com" or "local.debbie" I do NOT want to see a "/" after the domain/host, because most people see those as "Home Pages" and not the "Root Directory" if you follow me?! However, if I had an empty directory, then "local.debbie/uploads" would seem to make more sense.)

Hope all of this makes sense?!

Thanks,

Debbie
