How to eliminate need for second double slash in URL path?

The need to include the second double slash following "whatever.net/zenphoto/" is causing some confusion with users, and some eMail clients apparently drop the second occurrence from a mailed link, even though the displayed eMail text appears to include the second slash, as in . . .see the following:

https://archaxis.net/zenphoto//WMI-Projects/

How or where (in a config file?) can this "double slash" requirement be eliminated?

ZP version is 1.4.0.4
http server is Apache v2.2.11

    Such a double slash was never part of any Zenphoto generated URL and is therefore no "requirement". So the issue lies somewhere on your server or configuration, maybe a wrong htaccess file.

    Note also that your Zenphoto version is outdated.

    I have other applications, e.g., ZenCart, phpMyAdmin, WebCalendar, etc. installed and they do not require the double slash inclusion.

    Typical aliases in the httpd.conf file are as follows:

    Alias /zenphoto/ "/usr/local/www/zenphoto/"
    <Directory "/usr/local/www/zenphoto/">
    Options +Includes -Indexes
    AllowOverride all
    Order Deny,Allow
    Allow from all
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteOptions Inherit
    DirectoryIndex index.php
    </Directory>

    Alias /WebCalendar-1.2.3/ "/usr/local/www/WebCalendar-1.2.3/"
    <Directory "/usr/local/www/WebCalendar-1.2.3/">
    Options +Includes +Indexes
    AllowOverride all
    Order Deny,Allow
    Allow from all
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteOptions Inherit
    DirectoryIndex index.php
    </Directory>

    Note that these are redirections and do not reside within a registered domain hierarchy.

    Regarding the .htaccess file, in fact, I have looked at the same and it is rather complex . . .not sure what I'm looking at (. . .yet).

    Without the double slash, the ZenPhoto page displayed is "Photo Gallery | Object not found", so the ZP application does start.

    BTW, I know the ZP version is outdated. (plan to update soon)

    Thanks for your help,

    Again, Zenphoto does not require, use or ever has used double slashes as they are not valid in urls anyway. If you get this it is probably a unique issue to your server. Mabye a conflict with the oather tools or these redirections. Zenphoto has its own htaccess file with redirections and on that old version there are quite some of them.

    OK, thanks again. I'll keep looking . . .and update the ZP version ASAP.
