Apache tries to redirect to an 'index.html' folder?

Question

I have a strange behaviour I can't explain. Obviously some misconfiguration. I have in all two domains, the first domain has a lot of subdomains and works well. But my second domain, let's say www.mydomain.cooking (that's a valid TLD), does some weird redirects. When I enter www.mydomain.cooking/index.html into the URL bar, everything works as expected. But when I enter www.mydomain.cooking, it tries to redirect to an non existing index.html folder, so the domain looks like this after redirection www.mydomain.cooking/index.html/. How does this redirect come? I have exactly the same VirtualHost entries for all the working subdomains as for the second main domain. And I don't see such behaviour on the subdomains of the first domain. This is the VirtualHost config of the second domain with the strange redirects:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        ServerName www.mydomain.cooking
        DocumentRoot /var/domains/www.mydomain.cooking

        <Directory /var/domains/www.mydomain.cooking/>
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride None
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>

        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log

        # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
        # alert, emerg.
        LogLevel warn

        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

</VirtualHost>

Any ideas?

[UPDATE]
Today, I suddenly worked without doing anything special. Very strange. I will keep an eye on it. I hope, that this was just some caching issue or something.

Have you tried `` without the trailing slash? What do the logs tell you? Have you reloaded apache? — Valentin Bajrami, Dec 03 '16 at 17:02
