New website mirroring

From
"Dave Page"

Hi all.

The new website is now setup on wwwmaster.postgresql.org, which is
generating static html hourly. To test mirroring it is now rsynced from
there to wwwdevel.postgresql.org where it is served as static HTML.

The first problem I've noticed is files such as news.204.html, the links
for which are failing because they point to news.204. Any thoughts on
the best fix for that Alexey?

Regards, Dave.

You should use Apache directive
Options MultiViews
for the static mirror. We should prepare a .htaccess file with that and copy it
to static mirror, probably.

Doesn't that assume that the mirrors allow .htaccess files?

Either that or the mirrors should be told to setup their virtual hosts with this
directive on. That's needed for our l10n stuff to work.

Ahh, thanks. Done.
