Hi all,

I'm receiving this request on behalf of the FOSS4G Europe 2015 website
working group. Can you please take care of it?

> The first release of site is ready, you can see it at this address:
> http://geolabs.fr/foss4ge/
>
> Now the SAC should redirect http://europe.foss4g.org/2015 to
> http://geolabs.fr/foss4ge/, can you do this?
>
> Can you give me also the machine name and share it with us, so we can
> update our configuration from our side?

OK, this redirect should be in place now. Also http://europe.foss4g.org
used to redirect to the 2014 site, and now it does this to the 2015 site.
It would be nice to have a top level page with logos and links for both
conference but I haven't done that.

Thank you!
Please, is it possible to have a transparent redirection, like 2014
foss4geu meeting?

Thanks, Ciao
Marco

Marco,

The 2014 site is actually hosted on foss4g.org (the OSGeo webextra VM), so
the apache config just serves it directly.

The 2015 redirect looks like:

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule ^/2015/(.*)$ http://geolabs.fr/foss4ge/$1 [L,R=301]

I am not certain what transparent redirection is, but I assume you were
hoping the urls would still look like http://europe.foss4g.org/2015/
instead of geolabs.fr, is that right? I don't know how to make that
happen short of hosting it on the OSGeo server. If it is a fairly static
site we could do that.

The above rewrite should look more like:
{{{
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule ^/2015/(.*)$ http://geolabs.fr/foss4ge/$1 [L,R=301]
}}}

Comment(by jsanz):

If they can't upload the site to our server, maybe they can use a reverse
proxy, no?

I'm afraid I don't know what a reverse proxy is.

Comment(by jsanz):

A reverse proxy offers content from other locations (even outside the
server) on a location at the web server. I can help on trying to set this
up.

I can provide appropriate access to the server, if you don't already have
it. The foss4g config file is /etc/apache2/sites-available/foss4g (search
in it for europe).

I have added sudo access for user "jsanz" on the webextra vm (ie.
foss4g.org)

Excellent Frank, thanks.

In fact there was a reverse proxy commented from 2014, I think everything
is OK now.
