Requests ending with / (slash) are returning 404

[Leonardo Crespo]

Hi all!

Can anyone with more experience give me hand? I've spent the last 4
hours trying many options and none of them worked, so I decided to ask
for help.

What i'm trying to do:
/foo/bar/page  served by  /foo/bar/page.php

This one is working fine, as I can remove the.php extension from the
request and the page loads o (www.domain.com/page shows the content of
www.domain.com/page.php)

However, requests ending in a / (slash) are not working
/foo/bar/ served by /foo/bar/index.php
(www.domain.com/portal/ should show the content of
www.domain.com/portal/index.php)

I can't get this to work properly no matter what. I've tried if
conditions for the $request_uri, different location groups, flags for
the rewrite option and sadly i can't get it to work.

Can anyone with more experience give me a hand? Here's my conf file (snippet)
