[solved] konqueror-3.5.10, http://salixos.org is 'empty'

Just to let y'all know...

I could attempt to post a very dull screenshot, but what happens is that the www-site ends me up with a blank contents of the browser window. I used opera to see something at all.

[edit] The forum *does* show up ok... Looks like it is the 'main page' only. konqueror-3.5.10 might be a bit 'oldish', but still: i'd hope you agree that the 'main' page better show up in any browser....

We are using this code in index.html for redirection. Anything wrong with it?

Code: Select all

<html>
<head>
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://www.salixos.org/wiki/">
</head>
</html>

If i copy/paste the redirection url into the 'location' field of konqueror (aka: if i do the redirection manually/'by hand'), i get the salix 'main page' allright. It could be that one of my settings of konqueror is 'wrong'. Checking... I did find that the 'Allow automatic/delayed redirection' setting of konqueror was unchecked. This machine has a bit of an 'old install' (ZW-5.2): it could be that at some moment in its 'life' i have changed that setting myself, or else it could be the default setting of kde-3. Feel free to correct me, but some www-sites -as i remember- use this redirection mechanism to make you look at that which you don't want to see... I've enabled redirection for the moment, and i'm going to try again.

Check done: result: now i do get redirected from "http://salixos.org" to "http://www.salixos.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page", which is presumably what 'you folks' intend

.

For me, the problem is now 'well understood', so i will not nag about it again. It is your decision if you want to do anything about the redirection itself or not... Perhaps i'm the only one that has such an old konqueror and such paranoid settings

How do other sites do the redirection? Most wiki sites require some redirection, because the wiki lies in some subfolder. Please try:
http://en.wikipedia.org/
http://bluwiki.com/

I guess it can be configured in the web server. Most simple thing would be to add a link in the redirection html file as fallback.

That link sounds like a good idea!

I do not know about/understand the details, but: as a check/test

- i disabled the redirection in konqueror again.
(settings->Configure konqueror->web behaviour,
uncheck the automatic/delayed redirection checkbox)

- tried the en.wikipedia url you gave as an example

+ i did get a sensible wikipedia page in the browser.

So i guess that -whatever those 'others' do- there must be *some* difference between what 'they' do and what 'you' do.

As a double-check: With the redirection disabled, 'your' (http://salixos.org/) does end me up with an empty browser window. NB: That double-check was mainly to verify that my disabling of the redirection was actually effective

I'm using this right now:

Code: Select all

<html>
<head>
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://www.salixos.org/wiki/">
<script language="JavaScript1.1" type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
top.location.replace("http://www.salixos.org/wiki/");
-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
You should automatically be redirected to:
<a href="http://www.salixos.org/wiki/">http://www.salixos.org/wiki/</a>
</body>
</html>

Added a java script redirection and a failback link. Please try again

bingo

With:

- konqueror's 'redirect' setting at 'off'
- when i enter the url: "http://salixos.org/"
+ i end up at the url "http://www.salixos.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page"

As far as i can tell: "all ok"

I think now the first method that is used is the javascript method. If this one fails, then the http redirect is used. If both fail you'll see a link you can click.
