Hi,
For SEO reasons, I'd like to redirect /page/ to /page, how to ?

Ahh. I didn't read it correctly.
What result is desired when "/foo" is going to be served?
Do you want a directory listing, a default page, or is "/foo" a default page
without an extension?
Maybe that would help me understand the end goal because a directory still
has to have a default page of some sort.
But as stated previously by Tom Evans, the answer may not help your search
engine goal.

Kevin Castellow

Thats the opposite of what he requested - he wants '/foo/' to be
redirected to '/foo' and serve as if it was '/foo/'. mod_dir would
redirect '/foo' to '/foo/' and serve '/foo/'.

Is '/page/' a directory? If so, I don't think you will be able to do
this with apache. It may be possible with redirects, but it just seems
a little OTT to do this because some snake oil merchant has told you
this will boost your page rank on google.

I would take a look at this module:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_dir.html
Depending on how you built your Apache it should be there by default if you
used the "all" option for modules.
It should do exactly what you are looking for.

:D yeah, I tried both, but they insert the full system path into it
which results in 404.

Don't forget to switch the rewrite engine on first though:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (.*)/foo/$ $1/foo [R=301,L]

Anything wrong with just simple redirect like this?

I am using Zend PHP Framework for my application, so all requests to
non-existent files, directories (or links) are sent to
/index.php/foo/a/b/c/d...
Now what happens is- /index.php/foo and /index.php/foo/ are the same page.
Same page with two different urls is considered bad, so how to redirect
/foo/ to /foo.
