DirectorySlash Off doesn't work - apache

Question

I'm using apache 2.4.7
This is my virtualhost's config:
DocumentRoot /var/www/login
ServerName login.mydomain.com
<Directory "/var/www/login">
allow from all
AllowOverride All
Options +Indexes
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
DirectorySlash Off
Require all granted
</Directory>
In my /var/www/login directory, I have a directory called freeseat and in there, there's the index.php file, so it's full location is /var/www/login/freeseat/index.php
When I try to access it through the following link (domain replaced), it redirects to the same URL with a trailing slash:
http://login.mydomain.com/freeseat -> http://login.mydomain.com/freeseat/
Why isn't the DirectorySlash Off working? I tried to put it in .htaccess, but that didn't help either.
Thanks a lot for your help,
David

Answer 1

First of all, you vHost won't work if you don't use the directive.
This works:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/login
ServerName login.mydomain.com
<Directory "/var/www/login">
Allow from all
AllowOverride All
Options +Indexes
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
DirectorySlash Off
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/www/login/error.log
</VirtualHost>
To answer you question: DirectorySlash works as expected.
Also see apache documentation for mod_dir, especially the red box called "Security Warning" of section "DirectorySlash".
Tip: always use not publicly accessible error logs to determine the root of evil. :)
Edit #1:
I think I might have misunderstood your question. You want to access /var/www/login/freeseat/index.php through http://login.mydomain.com/freeseat (w/o trailing slash).
Then, drop the freeseat folder and use index.php as var/www/login/freeseat.php and create a RewriteRule in the /var/www/login/.htaccess file (mod_rewrite must be active):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^freeseat$ freeseat.php
Also, drop
Options +Indexes
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
from your vHost configuration. It isn't needed anymore.
