[sr #110615] Homepage update not working

[Bob Proulx]

Follow-up Comment #1, sr #110615 (project administration):

First, let me say that you are asking something that crosses administration
domains.  I know part of it.  Another person knows another part.  So you might
not get an answer all at once.

I look at things I see two points to address.

1) I would set up homepage in the project configuration to point to your
desired home page.  For users clicking the link from there they will go
directly to your desired home page.  Project admins will see the "Select
features" menu item and then on that form page a form entry for "Alternative
address".  Update that field with your desired homepage URL.

2) It looks to me like your .htaccess with a redirect is functioning
correctly.  Here is my test.

$ wget -O/dev/null -q -S http://www.nongnu.org/duplicity
  HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
  Date: Sun, 27 Feb 2022 05:49:03 GMT
  Server: Apache/2.4.29
  Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=63072000
  X-Frame-Options: sameorigin
  X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
  Location: https://duplicity.gitlab.io/duplicity-web/duplicity
  Content-Length: 331
  Keep-Alive: timeout=5, max=100
  Connection: Keep-Alive
  Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
  HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
  Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
  Permissions-Policy: interest-cohort=()
  Vary: Origin
  X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
  Date: Sun, 27 Feb 2022 05:49:04 GMT
  Transfer-Encoding: chunked

And I happen to be able to peek and see this .htaccess with this redirect.

Redirect 301 / https://duplicity.gitlab.io/duplicity-web/

It looks to me like it is working as designed.

http://www.nongnu.org/

The above is / and therefore the below URL

http://www.nongnu.org/duplicity

will be mapped to

https://duplicity.gitlab.io/duplicity-web/duplicity

as per the .htaccess redirect.  At least that is what I see from the .htacess
which was uploaded.  It appears to be working.

And that's all I know.  I'll wait for someone else who knows more to say
more.
