[LUG] Apache appending .gif when searching for files

[Martijn Grooten <dcglug@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A bit of an oddity with Apache/2.2.16. When trying to access a URL like

www.example.com/foo

and foo doesn't exist in the main website directory, it looks if foo.gif 
perhaps exists. That seems a little pointless to me, but more importantly, 
it takes preference over WordPress using mod_rewrite for URLs like

www.example.com/foo/bar

which gives unwanted results.

I can't easily find anything in the Apache config files, nor in .htaccess, 
that could trigger this.

(I haven't tried if it does the same for .jpg, .html etc - I assume it 
does.)

Any ideas?

Martijn.

PS I have a new domain, and a new email address. And a new mail server 
too.
