redirect broken for http://meetup.appsterdam.rs?

[judykitteh]

When I use http://meetup.appsterdam.rs, it just directs me to http://meetup.com. Did something break or is it just me?

@judykitteh That is odd. Checked the DNS and lo and behold it just pointed to just meetup.com. Edited record to http://meetup.com/appsterdam. Should work now. Give a little bit of time for the DNS changes to propagate globally.

Ok. This should be fixed now. Wasn't quite awake when changing the CNAME records as well CNAME Records cannot point to a subfolder. Fixed with a HTTP redirect. Our Youtube channel was also suffering from this. Checked all other subdomains and working. Will now close issue unless it isn't working for others.

Maybe meetup did change their policy, because at first CNAME worked. Youtube was a redirect, doesn’t work yet, we’ll wait a bit. It was http://appsterdam.rs/videos, no?

Must have as my memory of this was the same. Youtube redirect works fine. Flush your DNS perhaps? I'm not familiar with the other URL (http://appsterdam.rs/videos) you are posting here. Where is it referenced?

There was a DNS problem at KPN earlier today, could this be the cause?

http://appsterdam.rs/videos is mentioned at the end of the lecture videos. It should go to the youtube channel as well. Please add it. I’ll change the title to video.appsterdam.rs, but for the older video’s we should maintain the above as well.

Ah ok but I'm sure that this type of redirect isn't controlled by the DNS per se. Perhaps these plugins for WP? http://wordpress.org/plugins/quick-pagepost-redirect-plugin/

• or - http://wordpress.org/plugins/redirection/

[mmeiborg]

The first one seems to be OK. Could you install it, please, @g7moris.

When I used to go to http://meetup.appsterdam.rs, the address would remain meetup.appsterdam.rs rather than redirect to meetup.com/appsterdam. Dunno if that's a helpful clue at all.

[g7morris]

@judykitteh Thanks for that info. I can change that in the redirect to stay that way. @mmeiborg Would love to do it but it appears that I can't install the plugin as the admin privileges I have don't allow access to the plugin panel. I don't see it at all which tells me its the permissions. Do you have admin access for this? Either to install the plug-in or elevate my privileges. Or both. ;)

[g7morris]

@judykitteh Done. Redirect now keeps http://meetup.appsterdam.rs though is technically on meetup.com/appsterdam.rs. However the video.appsterdam.rs doesn't like this. Youtube is complaining about the masked frames technique that our DNS provider uses to achieve this. Win some, you lose some. C'est la vie, c'est la guerre.

[mmeiborg]

Also for meetup.com you need to do clean redirect. No running in frames (if that is what it is) to maintain our URL in the address bar.. The policies of meetup changes and with youtube it probably would not work from the early days. The only thing we want is that the URL’s work. So clean redirects and nothing more.

@g7morris re plugin: ok I though you had these rights. I’ll find it out.

@g7morris Beware, right now meetup.com doesn't like the masked frame thing either. Links don't work... You would have to do it as with Youtube: a clean redirect.

[g7morris]

@mmeiborg I've changed the meetup to the fixed clean 301 redirect. Any progress on the WP permissions? Would like to install and test the plugin please.

[mmeiborg]

@g7morris you should have access now. Mail me if not.

[g7morris]

@mmeiborg Ok. Sorry for delay. Indeed now have full access to plugins. Cool part it was already being used for the member page. Easy to add redirect. Tested and works like a charm charm charm. Closing ticket.
