Apache Virtualhost wrong destination folder - apache

Question

I created a virtual host for on my Apache 2.4 Websever but if I am trying to load the URL the path is sometimes wrong and I get an error back by unknown reason.
I have the domain "test.com"
and my sites-available/default looks like this:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/test/
ServerName test.com/
<Directory /var/www/test/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
If I am calling now the URL
"http://www.test.com/" or "www.test.com"
everything is fine but if I try to load for example "test.com" the server redirects me to
"test.com/test/"
and gives me a 404 Error. I don't understand why it is redirecting me like that on some URLs.

Answer 1

Try removing the trailing slash
ServerName test.com/
DocumentRoot /var/www/test/
And change it to
ServerName test.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/test
Its redirecting you becuase the trailing slash is pointing to the test sub directory in the document root.
Since this is the only vhost config. The following is from the apache documentation
<VirtualHost *:80>
# This first-listed virtual host is also the default for *:80
ServerName www.example.com
ServerAlias example.com
DocumentRoot "/www/domain"
</VirtualHost>
Now all you have to do is add a server alias to specify www so that apache knows how to handle the event
