In general I prefer when links go directly to destination. In this case I am not sure what is best way to resolve this problem. I could probably add redirects from http://axiom-wiki.newsynthesis.org/* to http://axiom-wiki.newsynthesis.org/mathaction/* (currently there is only redirect for the front page). Currently in the server log I see about 30-40% references to pages without 'mathaction'. I am not sure what is origin of those references. They came from search engines, but since search engines do not disclose referer I do not know were/how they found links. And targets look strange, for example: /AxiomTutorial/backlinks /AxiomTutorial/subscribeform I wonder why normal people would link to such pages? In the log I see more that 9000 unique URL-s of similar form. If they were real links the only resonable solution would be add apropriate redirects. However, they may be due to some misconfiguration in the wiki. Redirects slow down access so it would be better if visitors came via direct links. I tried to use transparent rewrite rules for front page, but that gave me broken page (some strange corruption and wrong links). Also, remaping logic of sort X/* -> X/Y/* is getting unnatural when '*' may match 'Y'. In such case it would probably be better to use rewrite of sort 'X/*' -> 'Z/Y/*'. In other words redirect _all_ axiom-wiki traffic to another virtual host. -- Waldek Hebisch [email protected] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "FriCAS - computer algebra system" group.
