Hi,
I would ask the SAC to set a
http://osgl.osgeo.org
redirect to
http://conlibre.org/osgeolabs/
the main website of ICA-OSGeo Labs initiative, kindly provided by Ing.
Manuel Haro Marquez - Laboratorio de Software Libre COZCyT (in cc). The
site is currently being populated with all needed info regarding ICA-OSGeo
Labs and related initiatives.
Best regards,
Anne Ghisla

Comment:
I don't think redirect was the right word here. Though in Apache that
should just be (rewrite above has the same result)
{{{
Redirect osgl.osgeo.org conlibre.org/osgeolabs
}}}
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe a subdomain pointer at the conlibre
server is what they intended (or a proxy but that would wast resources).
So shouldn't we just point the DNS entry to the IP for that server?

Yes, excuse my poor choice of words! Thanks Frank for the quick action.
Best!

Anne, does this mean you would like me to remove the redirect, and update
the DNS record to point directly at conlibre.org?

Well, what I meant when I opened the ticket was to get osgl.osgeo.org
point to the site made by Manuel and his group. Therefore I suppose that
just pointing the DNS record to conlibre website will be the simplest
solution. I leave you the choice of the cleanest implementation

Comment(by warmerdam):
Anne,
Depending on how Apache (or other server software) is configured on the
system in question, just pointing DNS might not work. The server needs to
be configured to appropriately. While the redirect has already remapped
things to conlibre.org which does work.
The downside to the redirect/rewrite is that the web site appears in the
browser as conlibre.org instead of osgl.osgeo.org.
For now the easiest (for me at least) is for me to leave things as they
are. If you or others decide you prefer to have the DNS update then just
note it here.
Best regards,
Frank

Hi Frank, Anne,
Just to make sure we are on the same page: we need osgl.osgeo.org to
remain in the browser. Anne: I was in today's Labs meeting and Manuel is
ready to help make this happen.
Re-opening ticket. (sorry Anne, don't want to step on toes)

Comment:
Hi all,
the ICA-OSGeo Labs website has been officially moved to
http://www.geoforall.org
created by Jason Sadler and colleagues (University of Southampton, UK).
We would like to have osgl.osgeo.org display geoforall.org contents, but
keeping the osgeo.org address, as we discussed few comments above.
Please let Jason (in cc) know what is required on his side to make this
happen.
Many thanks,
Anne

Comment(by warmerdam):
Anne, I can accomplish this with just a change in the DNS A record as long
as the target host is ready to also serve the site as osgl.osgeo.org. Is
it ready?
Hmm, I tested by changing geoforall.org to point to IP = 152.78.220.2 in
my local hosts file, and visited and I get a geodata (but not geoforall)
web site. That means there is work for Jason to do first on his end to be
ready for this change.

Hi both,
I was just thinking last night that the dns CNAME/A would be the best
way to go, I've now changed the server setup to accept this name for
the site, so please go ahead with the dns change.
Best regards,
Jason

A record for osgl.osgeo.org updated to 152.78.220.2 - it should be live
shortly.

Comment(by jsanz):
Hi just a 2cts note,
Having two domains (osgl.osgeo.org and www.geoforall.org) pointing to the
same website is pretty bad for search indexing (SEO thing). One of them
should do a redirect (301) to the other.
It can also be confusing for visitors, as well.

Hi Jorge,
while Jason creates an OSGeo id to be able to answer here, this is his
answer:
"""
easy for me to create a new vhost for the spurious domains, redirecting
all to the main one (www.geoforall.org).
let me know if that's what's wanted and I'll sort today.

Well it's not me who has to answer which is the preferred domain, even I
guess that geoforall is the desired.
