| Was working on my aliases and now any major page, with index.php or index.html crashes saying: 
 "The page isn't redirecting properly"
 
 This effects:
 
 
* localhost,
 * phpmyadmin,
 * Google,
 * etc.
 
 
 Do not see any errors in the logs, so wonder what is going on?
 
 Running Kubuntu 14.04 LTS on an Acer Aspire 7739Z
 
 Posted the 000-default.conf at:
 
 http://pastebin.com/Ee5hG7NJ
 
 All aliases work, but only with the ending "/" as in:
 
 localhost/ads   Does not work
 
 localhost/ads/  Works
 
 Supposed to work either way.  Not sure what apache setting is either missing or wrong.
 
 All help appreciated!
 
 Thnx!

 No it's not always supposed to work either way, on one very specific case will it work either way.[1]
 
 Look at the docs http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_alias.html#alias specifically beginning at "Note that if you include a trailing /" and the next part right under the example.
 
 
  	  | Code: |  	  | left side     right side Alias /something    /path/to/something    <- no trailing /s on both sides[1]
 Alias /otherthing/  /path/to/otherthing/  <- trailing /s on both sides
 | 
 
 Now look at yours;
 Do both sides have either a trailing slash, none, or one side does not yet the other side does? They have either have trailing slashes on both side or not on both side, no mixing. 	  | Code: |  	  | Alias /files "/home/files/" |
