So I decided to go back through and document the behavior of each variation:
*SITE_ROOT FORCE_SCRIPT_NAME
Behavior*
'/reviewboard/' ''
Page Not Found (404 error for ^reviewboard)
'/reviewboard/' '/'
Page Not Found (404 error for ^reviewboard)
'/' '/reviewboard'
Redirects to /account/login without "reviewboard" in url
'/' '/reviewboard/'
Redirects to /account/login without "reviewboard" in url
'/' 'reviewboard/'
Redirects to http://localhostreviewboard//dashboard/
If it helps, the error page I get for the first two entries (the 404 error)
is:
Page not found (404)Request Method:GETRequest URL:http://localhost/
Using the URLconf defined in djblets.util.rooturl, Django tried these URL
patterns, in this order:
1. ^reviewboard/
The current URL, , didn't match any of these.
I made sure to set Debug = True so I could get this message ... any ideas?
