[Klug-general] Apache2 filename/dir mish-mash

Hi,

Hoping someone here can help.

I've setup apache2 on my home machine for developing my site before
making updates live. I've noticed behaviour which seems a bit weird:

When requesting [ http://localhost/site/index ] Apache2 will serve the
page [ http://localhost/site/index.php ]. This initially doesn't seem
much of a problem until I realized requesting [
http://localhost/jwm-art.net/index/somethingrandom ] also serves [
http://localhost/site/index.php ] and that [
http://localhost/jwm-art.net/index/somethingrandom/?query=somecontent
] also works without any problem what so ever as if it were [
http://localhost/site/index.php?query=somecontent ].

Does anyone know how to make this insane behaviour go away so that [
http://localhost/site/index ] and [
http://localhost/jwm-art.net/index/somethingrandom ] (etc) generate
404 Not Found errors?

I thought it might be adding "ErrorDocument 404 /jwm-art.net/"
to .htaccess at fault, but removing the line showed this not to be the case.


Thanks in advance,
James.
