Please be more specific.
http://geronimo.apache.org/issues
does indeed redirect to
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO
and similarly for the others that I checked.
Of course, you would be better off with simple Redirect directives
rather than very-restrictive RewriteRules.

Just for the record, using the simply "Redirect" works fine even if a matching file name is present. "RewriteRule" is the one that seems to have a problem when a file name is present.
I'll finish updating the remaining rules to use only Redirect.
Thanks everyone

Thanks a bunch for the details, good to know when the things get in sync
The updated the root level .htaccess around 10:09 ET, I renamed the faq.html some time after.
I'll add some more rules (just Redirect) to the root level .htaccess and will remove the html files that are causing the redirection to fail. It would be nice to know why this is happening
Thanks again
Cheers!

By the datestamp it appears your modification was less than a
half-hour ago. I copied it over to the live site for you and it is now
working.
Deletes only get synced overnight, so you need to wait until tomorrow
to see those.
The faq.html is now working fine. If you want the wiki to work, you
should move wiki.html out of the way. (Although I can't figure out why
that is necessary.)

Ok, so the /redirects directory is clarified now. Not sure why we have it this way though.
About the .htaccess at the doc root level I added this rule over 1 hour ago
http://geronimo.apache.org/faq.html
but still doesn't get redirected. I also renamed the faq.html file directly from mino but so far I don't see any changes. Does it also take 1 hour for these updates to get reflected?
Cheers!

The .htaccess says ^wiki.html$ so the following works for me:
http://geronimo.apache.org/redirects/wiki.html
redirects to
http://cwiki.apache.org/geronimo/
Same for faq.html and the other rules.
Cheers,
Erik
Re: Geronimo web site .htaccess

The RewriteRule for faq.html just got in, I committed it over 1 hour ago so it might be just matter of timing.
I also renamed the faq.html to check if that was affecting the results but I don't know how long it takes for the update. I renamed the file directly on mino.
I will also try changing to just Redirect, is there any way to speed up the updates so we know for sure this changes work?
Cheers!

I don't see a rule for faq.html outside the redirects directory.
As to why wiki isn't working, it seems to be conflicting with the
presence of a wiki.html file in the docroot. I don't know why that is
having an effect. Removing the html file makes the redirect work. But
I strongly suggest using just:
Redirect /wiki http://cwiki.apache.org/geronimo
instead of the more-complex Rewriterule.

I just realized I fat fingered the command and the /redirects/.htaccess is still there so anyway, not sure if this is a valid location. None of these rules (for this file) seem to work.
RewriteRule ^wiki$ http://cwiki.apache.org/geronimo does not seem to work. The other rule for faq.html doesn't work either, did I forget to type anything for these rules?
Cheers!

wiki or faq.html don't seem to work
how about the other .htaccess under /redirects directory, I no longer see this one on mino. Should we use only one htaccess at root level? (not sure why we had more than one anyways)
Cheers!
