Fix infinite redirect and get site back online #151

Closed augusto-herrmann closed 2 years ago

augusto-herrmann commented 2 years ago

Right now when accessing the site the user gets infinite redirects, which make it inaccessible.

We should fix the site deployment ASAP.

Judging by the headers it could be some kind of problem with CloudFlare.

augusto-herrmann commented 2 years ago

@todrobbins do you think this is a configuration problem in Heroku?

todrobbins commented 2 years ago

Could be... Do you have Heroku access now? Also, could be a DNS issue maybe?

augusto-herrmann commented 2 years ago

No, Heroku has changed its terms of use recently and I've decided to delete my account because of that.

I have already started working on converting the site to a statically generated Jekyll site (issue #154 on branch jekyll-site) so we can host it on Github Pages instead.

Once it is done we will still need to change the DNS to point it to Github Pages.

todrobbins commented 2 years ago

Sounds good! I'll take a look at the new branch. DNS changes will need to come from @okfn/devops @okfn/staff

amercader commented 2 years ago

I can't find any rule or setting in Heroku or Cloudflare that might cause the redirects. Maybe it's a SSL issue? In any case happy to change the DNS to point to Github pages when that's ready

augusto-herrmann commented 2 years ago

Hi @amercader!

With PR #158 we're ready to move on to Github Pages. I think we should change the DNS already, the site on Heroku has been offline for a few months anyway.

augusto-herrmann commented 2 years ago

In addition to the DNS change, to make Github Pages work someone would need to configure it in the "Settings" tab of this repository, which I do not have access to. Do you, @todrobbins?

amercader commented 2 years ago

@augusto-herrmann you should be an admin for this repo now I've updated the DNS to point to Github pages

augusto-herrmann commented 2 years ago

Thanks, @amercader!

I'm in a hurry right now but should work in getting the site back online as soon as I can.
