I am having a strange thing happening on my Apache server. Fake pages are being served up by the server. Example: I have a page called excel-training.php in the root. If I add a / and filename after that url it serves the original page but as if it
is coming from a sub-directory, i.e. I request excel-training.php/test.html, the content being served is the original excel-training.php but the url in the browser is showing excel-training.php/test.html. The images on that page are not served as it now
thinks the page displayed is in a sub-directory.
I have tried turing off the RewriteEngine thinking it was an errant rewrite even though the url doesn't change. Also have turned off CheckSpelling thinking it is trying to find a matched page. I have even cleared out my .htaccess file in case there was
some rule affecting this and it still happens.
I need these strange requested pages to return a 404 instead of an actual page. I thought of creating a rewrite rule but I need it to return a 404 code, not 410 gone, or 301 or whatever.
