Masked URL forwarding not working

[stekhoven]

In the browser URL we still get:

https://eth-nexus.github.io/tu-pro_website/publications/

What we need is:

https://tu-pro.ch/publications/

This can be done by either:

• the settings in the configuration of the server to preserve the original link
• by resolving tu-pro.ch to the Github pages name server (https://docs.github.com/en/github/working-with-github-pages/managing-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site)

Note: some of the original links to the first two publications, need to remain valid, even if they do not meet the current setup (i.e. download instead of publications folder).

Vipin, could you take care of this?

Hello @stekhoven & @nctoussaint,

I have tried the option 1 - changing the httpd configurations to preserve the link when you do the redirection from www.tu-pro.ch to https://eth-nexus.github.io - this seems to be not working properly. usually I do this trick with htaccess and this is not working on the machine where we configured the tu-pro.ch (This is an EC2 instance from amazon)

In order to do the option 2, I don't have access to the DNS provider of tu-pro.ch (this you need to ask with Gunnar) who is managing both tu-pro.ch and tu-pro.net domains.

@vipints I finally got to asking Gunnar regarding the DNS provider. Here's (roughly) what he said (I translated from German):

tu-pro.ch points to 23.21.248.66 which is ratschlab.org. Vipin should have access via "ssh -i .ssh/apr7galaxystd.pem [email protected]"
The config file can be found here: "/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/tu-pro.ch"

Does this help?
