Boost doesn't work for my frontpage(other pages work fine).I checked it for a long time,and found that the value of %{REQUEST_URI} in .htaccess is "/index.php" but not "/" on the frontpage,so the frontpage cann't redirect to _.html.
Does anybody know why? And how can I change the value from "/index.php" to "/"?

My webserver environments:
OS:Windows server 2012 standard
Apache version:2.4.3
PHP version:5.4.7
mod_rewrite:loaded

Please forgive my poor English.Thanks a lot.

Is the standard drupal .htaccess ruleset, so if / is not found then redirect is going to take place to /index.php. The boost rules should be before this block of code and if they are then the server is configured in some unusual way that appears to think that "/' is not a valid root folder. The permissions may be incorrect, there may be a directive somewhere in the configuration.

What does http://www.example.com do ? it should just display a page rather than redirect to http://www.example.com/ it appears that boost is working as designed and that it requires a look at your server configuration.

A brief look and you should be investigating the function of dir_module which is not in the normal linux/ bsd based distributions and looks suspiciously where the problem may lie as it specifically handles directories and redirects to a list of defined pages.

I tested Boost all night in different Windows OS(windows server 2003 32bit,windows server 2008 64bit,windows server 2012 64bit),3 servers with Intel Xeon CPU,all new installed Drupal 7.22 without any third party modules, and found that all _.html cann't be loaded on frontpage. It seems that Boost is compatible with the Windows platform or XAMPP1.8.2 not very well.

This problem maybe caused by multilingual support. In the language settings,if I choose "Determine the language from the URL (Path prefix or domain)",the _.html can be loaded normally.I do not know why this is so.

Thank you,Philip_Clarke.
Best regards.

I know that the multilingual module does work on several sites including japanese and arabic ones, so I suggest asking over at their forum.

The other thing to do is to write a rewrite rule for index.php to _.html if the file exists.

Is core localization module not multilingual module .
