Help please with forrest.apache.org .htaccess Redirect

[David Crossley <cr...@apache.org>]

I need help with the new Forrest website.

The following re-direct is now on the forrest.apache.org
website. However it does not work. We get a 404 for
/docs/plugins/ and it doesn't do the re-direction.

---------------
Redirect /docs/plugins http://forrest.apache.org/0.7/docs/plugins

# FIXME: there is something strange with the above redirect
# ... try these tests instead, they *do* work:
Redirect /docs/plugouts http://forrest.apache.org/0.7/docs/plugins
Redirect /docs/pluginnings http://forrest.apache.org/0.7/docs/plugins
---------------

What could be wrong?

If you need the context of the full .htaccess
then see here:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/forrest/site/.htaccess

Many thanks to Erik Abele at ASF infrastructure.
We needed to set "Options -MultiViews" because it was interfering.
See http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/content-negotiation.html

Fixed now.
