I just installed silverstripe, and everything is working fine, but when I try to visit my site (e.g. http://www.mysite.ca/silverstripe) I get a 400 "bad request" error, unless I throw on the trailing slash (http://www.mysite.ca/silverstripe/).

I'm betting a simple change to the .htaccess file will resolve this, but I don't know what commands to enter. Any help would be most appreciated.

Change:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)$

To:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)/$

On line 7 of the .htaccess file. That should fix it.

almost fixed my problem. Almost. Login for admin still doesn't work.

I've got the same problem here. Adding the forward slash as described above only works for the home directory and breaks every sub-directory. Any suggestions?

I am also facing the same problem, any suggestion or fix will be helpful.

Thanks!

I had a similar problem on my local wamp-server.
May be you can try this in your .htaccess

...
### SILVERSTRIPE START ###
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectorySlash On
</IfModule>
...
...
...

Added two lines after RewriteBase:

### SILVERSTRIPE START ###
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /my/site

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} site$
RewriteRule (.*) $1/ [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.gif)|(\.jpg)|(\.png)|(\.css)|(\.js)|(\.php)$

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* sapphire/main.php?url=%1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
### SILVERSTRIPE END ###

Tested it lightly, seems to work ok, including accessing menus from the uri without the trailing slash, i.e. /my/site/admin and /my/site/admin/ both work.
