Preventing duplicate pages - /mypage and /mypage/
5 June 2009 at 3:28pm Last edited: 8 June 2009 8:36am
www.mysite.com/mypage and www.mysite.com/mypage/
If you check your silverstripe site, you will find that most likely you can browse to either and they both will be seen
How can that be prevented - so just the /mypage/ works - it is becoming an a duplicated content with google. Webmaster tools tell us that each page has the same title - description etc, which is frowned upon and not good seo
Is there a solution to prevent possibility of www.mysite.com/mypage being viewed and producing a 404 error
cheers

Ok - no response
New question then
What sitemap.xml generator are people using? I may be able to resolve the issue by using a different generator
If someone from silverstripe could reply that would be good - each of the file names end with / in http://silverstripe.org/sitemap.xmlcheers

A properly generated sitemap should get rid of your issue.
What version of SIlverstripe are you using? There is a googlesitemap module available in the Silverstripe svn, and it is also bundled with 2.3.1.
Hope that helps,

Regarding your original question.
You could either redirect URLs without trailing slash to the one with slash (put this in your .htaccess):
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
RewriteRule .* %{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,NC,L]
RewriteRule .* sapphire/main.php?url=%1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L].. or you could only accept URLs with a trailing slash (the following code only redirects URLs with a trailing slash to SilverStripe. All others are up to the webserver to handle and will usually result in a 404 error):
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?$ sapphire/main.php?url=%1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

I don't know if redirecting to a 404 would be wise, someone may type your URL from memory, but forget the last slash. In that situation the user would get a page not found and not understand why.

Thanks - that is what I was using. I have a solution from them - I will share as follows:
this worked:
In Do not parse URLs: I added
.*mypage$so only indexes /mypage/ rather than both /mypage/ and /mypage
cheers

and we found out what the cause of the xml sitemap generating those duplicated pages.
The sitemap page (mysite/code/SiteMap.php) had been customised to produce some xml metadata for DigitalNZ to trawl content pages and was missing a trailing slash
Another SS lesson learned
cheers
