Today I analyzed the file error.log of a website and I noticed a lot of 404 errors with text like this:

[Sun Nov 03 23:16:15 2013] [error] [client XX.XX.XX.XX] Negotiation: discovered file(s) matching request: /path/to/websute/another/path (None could be negotiated).

Browse the folder /etc/apache2/sites.available/ and edit the vHost config file.

You need to remove “MultiViews“, change this:

Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

To this:

Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks

Then reload the Apache:

/etc/init.d/apache2 reload
