It's quite wrong, and should not happen of a properly configured system.
May happen if a trailing slash is added in a few places it's not supposed to be, like $base_url or somewhere.
It's not normal.

Oh, you're right, I didn't.
That's because there is no good answer to that question.

What you have is a configuration issue, so it's not fixed by changing code. The error that fantastico made may be in .htaccess or settings.php, but I can't tell what's been done.

TBH, if you need Fantastico to install Drupal, you probably have no knowledge to decently support your new Drupal site. Please install it yourself, manually and not yet until you've read a bunch of documentary. Get familiair with Drupal's jargon, template structure and configuration options first before installing Drupal.

And dump fantastico ASAP, it's evil. you learn nothing from it and as you can see, it's bound to mess up your code before you even touched it.

because there is no single answer-- there is no single file to edit and no one can tell from the little info provided what the problem might be. I would start by reinstalling drupal without fantistico (which, as others have already pointed out, is nothing but problems).

Okay, I didn't install using Fantastico and I had a "//" in my url sometimes. I've been following this thread and hoping for some insight, because I didn't have much to add. Bu I figured out my problem. I don't THINK it will help you, but here it is.

For me, it happens on to of my Rules-based redirect. When certain conditions were met I had it set to redirect to "/special". But the url in the browser would show up as mysite.com//special. When I removed the leading "/" on the redirect, it started displaying correctly.

Interestingly, either one of those urls would still resolve to the correct page.
