Currently only /index.pl works, the root URL / is broken

[Corion]

Just a short notice: The / URL is broken but /index.pl works.

Likely, this is due to a redirect/Apache config rule going missing while setting up new SSL certificates.

This message is hard to find though if you do not know the message in the first place. I was pointed to this on IRC by Discipulus

[cavac]

I just posted it to the relevant discussion on Reddit r/perl

Any chance someone could edit the "we are currently doing database maintenance" page to include that information?

[Discipulus]

Thanks for your work Corion ..and time and.. everything :)

I dont know if this is related, the same thing, or another but the choroba's nice pm-cb-g client dies with:

There is no form numbered 1 at ./perl5.26.64bit/perl/vendor/lib/WWW/Me
+chanize.pm line 1006

L*

PS I also see Others exploiting the Monastery: (None) since yesterday.

I would assume that the client does not find a <form> element because it uses https://perlmonks.com/?node=xxx instead of https://perlmonks.com/index.pl?node=xxx.

[choroba]

That's correct and it's been fixed :-)

That explains why my redirect on Update Userspace Links no longer works. Thank you for figuring it out!

Update: No, it doesn't. I changed it from /? to /index.pl? and it still doesn't work. Well, the root cause may be the same: something got whacked in the apache config.

Currently, this depends on the domain for me

This breaks with Hag-seed, hence

• https://perlmonks.org/?node=Recently%20Active%20Threads

  All other (regular) ones work for me:

  • https://www.perlmonks.org/?node=Recently%20Active%20Threads
  • https://www.perlmonks.net/?node=Recently%20Active%20Threads
  • https://perlmonks.net/?node=Recently%20Active%20Threads
  • https://www.perlmonks.com/?node=Recently%20Active%20Threads
  • https://perlmonks.com/?node=Recently%20Active%20Threads

  Edit

  I also noticed that the Domain Nodelet is automatically redirecting me to /index.pl URIs

  That's new to me...

  Update

  Weird, this also works for me

  https://perlmonks.org/?node=lanx

  WTF?

Funnily, https://www.perlmonks.org/?node=Recently%20Active%20Threads works (for me), but https://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=397425 (which should point to the same) sends me to the "Son of a Witch" (hag-seed). I had been of the opinion that "Recently Active Threads" were an alias for 397425, but now it looks the other way around…

[LanX]

FWIW, both work for me now. But I have problems staying logged in www.perlmonks.org , but this might be related to my cookie restrictions.
