"So i'm operating a web server for my school's website, and wer'e moving to a new server. now, for some reason the whole images folder, with everything in it, returns an error 404. I later found out that this is due to the fact that images was aliased by default to another folder, but ther funny part is that the site redirected all non-existant requests to the homepage, so that the only way you could get an error 404 was with a folder that existed!"
