A link in the format of
ovirt.org/Foo where "Foo" is "anything" does
not
work.
For example:
http://ovirt.org/get-ovirt
The following should happen:
1. Request is sent to the server holding the A record for 'ovirt.org',
which is
linode01.ovirt.org.
1. httpd server on linode01 redirects everything to
www.ovirt.org.
1. www is on OpenShift, and the request is run through the .htaccess file
rules.
1. The .htaccess file rule for '/get-ovirt' is to redirect to
'Download'.
Instead, a 404 error Page Not Found.
Problem is, I cannot recreate this in every browser. For Firefox, it works
fine. I happened to test in Chromium, which does not work. For 'links', I
get the 404 error.
This problem arose because the [[MediaWiki:Sidebar]] was still set to
'http://ovirt.org/get-ovirt'. This is a vestigal link from the previous
instance, when the download page was in the WordPress instance. A reviewer
of the site noticed that the "Download" link went to a 404. I looked and
saw it was doing a direct link to a URL instead of to the internal
MediaWiki article [[Download]]. I fixed the navigation so the "Download"
link is no longer broken for Chromium (I presume.)
This is all I know so far, more research to come.
