Redirects and .htaccess
I wondered why some links weren't working. Oops. I had an old copy
of .htaccess in my local site/xdocs, and when I published the site on
12/28 I overwrote the correct one.
(I also forgot to fix the file permissions on download.cgi, but no one
reported that!)
I think there used to be more, but here are the ones I remember or
could construct from the links:
Redirect permanent /userGuide
http://struts.apache.org/struts-action/userGuide
Redirect permanent /faqs http://struts.apache.org/struts-action/faqs
Redirect permanent /struts-core http://struts.apache.org/struts-action
Redirect permanent /shale http://struts.apache.org/struts-shale
Redirect permanent /flow http://struts.apache.org/struts-flow
Redirect permanent /faces http://struts.apache.org/struts-faces
Redirect permanent /bsf http://struts.apache.org/struts-scripting
Redirect permanent /struts-bsf http://struts.apache.org/struts-scripting
Redirect permanent /struts-plugins http://struts.apache.org/struts-extras
Redirect permanent /learning.html
http://struts.apache.org/struts-action/learning.html
Redirect permanent /using.html
http://struts.apache.org/struts-action/userGuide/index.html
I copied it to .htaccess.bkp in case it needs to be restored again.
(Should it be in the repository?) I also removed the symbolic links
that are duplicated by the redirects; the only one left is 'mail'.
Let me know if you remember any more paths that need to be redirected,
or go ahead and add them.
Thanks,

It must have been; I own the file now. :)

That's odd. At some point, I deliberately set the permissions on that file
so that I was the only person able to write to it, so that it never got
overwritten when updating the site. (The line ends have to be Unix style for
it to work, and it was too easy to clobber that when unzipping.) Has that
somehow been undone?

That sounds like a good idea. At least, I can't think of a reason not to do
it.
