Blogdown stopped updating #472

Closed HaoWang47 closed 5 years ago

HaoWang47 commented 5 years ago

Issue

I am maintaining Dr. Liu's website, https://pliu.rbind.io/ , but after June 4, the website stopped updating. What is online now is still the old version (Portrait, biography and last-update-dates should have been all updated). I used the addin, serve site, in R and everything looks fine at the local preview window.

I have googled as much as I can and tried re-install hugo, but it seems possible solutions I found at Stackoverflow did not help.

Also, the source code in GitHub is consistent with my local files. I really do not know what is wrong.

github: https://github.com/rbind/pengliu

Hmm, if the site source is updated but the rendered content didn't update, maybe the Netlify build was not triggered properly or the build did not work for some reasons.

I'd first check the deployment logs on Netlify, by clicking "Deploys" -> "Production: master@HEAD", then you could see the build log for the latest commits and preview the build.

nanxstats commented 5 years ago

@HaoWang47 -is the problem resolved so that we can close the issue?

HaoWang47 commented 5 years ago

@nanxstats Unfortunately not yet, the rendered content is still not updated. I am still working on it. Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

nanxstats commented 5 years ago

@HaoWang47 -have you checked the deployment logs first?

HaoWang47 commented 5 years ago

@nanxstats - I apologize that I am not familiar with Netlify. I googled, and I asked my friend but I am still not sure where I can click "Deploys" -> "Production: master@HEAD". My friend thought I should have that icon in GitHub, but from my GitHub account, I can't find the icon in the GitHub repo 'rbind/pengliu'. Am I on the right track so far? Is it because I am not the owner of the repo?

Thank you Nan!

HaoWang47 commented 5 years ago

@nanxstats - I checked https://bookdown.org/yihui/blogdown/netlify.html but I have never seen Figure 3.1 before. Also, do I need to sign up a Netlify account to see the deployments log?

Thanks, Nan! I appreciate your help!

nanxstats commented 5 years ago

@HaoWang47

-ok, so here is how the whole thing works: GitHub is only the upstream source of the website, and the website is actually served by Netlify. Each commit in the linked GitHub repo for that Netlify site will be synced to Netlify and trigger a rebuild.

You should create an account on Netlify (can just use their GitHub single sign-on) and ask the owner of the Netlify site to add you to their team so that you can potentially see and manage the site.

HaoWang47 commented 5 years ago

@nanxstats -

Thanks a lot Nan! So the preview of the website on Netlify is updated! Everything is right except for the missing portrait picture (this is not a big issue). A dot after the second bullet under "Interests" is also there, which I added yesterday on purpose to see if the website source code can be updated.

The public website is still not updated (pliu.rbind.io).

HaoWang47 commented 5 years ago

@nanxstats - Hi Nan,

I just want to let you know all I did to this repo. I changed the config.toml month ago, changing baseurl: "pliu.rbind.io/" to publicurl: "pliu.rbind.io/" or baseurl: "pliu.rbind.io". I was learning what all this code means and I did not know these changes might cause some issues. Based on what I can see from Netlify, it seems like the domain of the website is not right.

Screen Shot 2019-09-21 at 20 42 18 Screen Shot 2019-09-21 at 20 43 13

What do you think?

Also, I noticed in the pengliu repo there are two masters. I assumed I was working the master/HEAD but somehow I did not. Is this a potential issue?

Screen Shot 2019-09-21 at 20 44 58

Thank you very much!

Hao

nanxstats commented 5 years ago

@HaoWang47 -ok, now the the reason is clear: pliu.rbind.io is pointed to pliu.netlify.com, but not festive-wozniak-b3cf08.netlify.com.

I guess to fix this on your side, you could find where the pliu.netlify.com site is on Netlify and check if the GitHub repo is correctly linked there and properly published.

Or, if you want to use the current Netlify site shown above, first change its Netlify domain to pliu.netlify.com, and then add pliu.rbind.io as the custom domain. You probably still need to find and retire the old Netlify site anyways because it still occupies the old Netlify subdomain.

The third way is for us to point pliu.rbind.io to a new Netlify address.

HaoWang47 commented 5 years ago

@nanxstats - Hi Nan,

So, I checked several things.

pliu.netlify.com is the same as pliu.rbind.io.

festive-wozniak-b3cf08.netlify.com is the site I created yesterday. Then I have a question, where is the original site? Is it because I am not the first maintainer of this site? Since I can see the original site before. I might mess up something so I "unlinked" pliu.netlify.com and the GitHub repo rbind/pengliu.

I believe the site is properly linked to the GitHub repo and site based on updated source code from GitHub is also published. (See the screenshot)

Screen Shot 2019-09-22 at 02 58 21

When I tried to change the domain to pliu.netlify.com, it shows This site name is already taken. I am not sure how to retire the old Netlify site right now on my side since I can not find it, but I can ask Dr. Liu to check her Netlify account (if she has one).

pliu.rbind.io is still the baseurl in config.toml file. So if you could point it to the new Netlify address, I appreciate it! I can change the domain of new Netlify site to pengliu.Netlify.com or something else.

Last question, would you know by chance why I have replaced the portrait picture (I deleted the old one, and uploaded a new one with the same name) but the published site still shows the previous one?

Thank you!

Hao

nanxstats commented 5 years ago

@HaoWang47 -sure, to make the new site work, please just let us know the preferred Netlify address you change it to (e.g. pengliu.netlify.com, if the random name is not preferred), so that we can update the record on our side to point the rbind subdomain to the new Netlify address.

The image link points to pliu.rbind.io/img/portrait.jpg which is still pliu.netlify.com/img/portrait.jpg served by the old site. This should be fixed automatically when we updated the record to point to the new site.

Optionally, you could figure out on your side where the original site pliu.netlify.com is and then archive/remove it. Given the fact that the "site name is already taken" and it's still accessible, it's probably still active under someone's account.

HaoWang47 commented 5 years ago

@nanxstats - Hi Nan,

I have changed the name of the site under my Netlify account into pengliu.netlify.com. Could you please point pliu.rbind.io/ to the new site?

Thank you very much for your help!

Hao

nanxstats commented 5 years ago

@yihui -could you please update the cname record for pliu.rbind.io to pengliu.netlify.com? Thanks!

yihui commented 5 years ago

@nanxstats Done.

HaoWang47 commented 5 years ago

@nanxstats -

Hi Nan,

Is there anything I need to do on my side? I just checked the site pliu.rbind.io, which is not updated. But I am very sure pengliu.netlify.com is working since I just change the date again to see if it works. Do I need to customize the subdomain of pengliu.netlify.com again?

I tried set up a subdomain, but an error occurred.

Screen Shot 2019-09-23 at 11 24 27 Screen Shot 2019-09-23 at 11 24 36

The baseurl in config.toml is set as "pliu.rbind.io/"

Thanks, Nan!

Hao

nanxstats commented 5 years ago

@HaoWang47 -Hmm, looks like you still need to remove the custom domain added to the old site on Netlify before adding it to the new site.

The baseurl has nothing to do with this error message --- the parameter only determines how the urls are linked in the rendered site. When you build the site with Netlify, it can be simply set as baseurl = "/".

HaoWang47 commented 5 years ago

@nanxstats -

Thanks! I will try to find the old site as soon as possible and if I did, I will try to change the custom domain again.

If I did not find the old site, could Dr. Liu just use pengliu.netlify.com as her site? Is it permanently free and functioning? I will keep maintaining it for sure.

Also, I am afraid I need to keep this issue open for extra several days in case I come across other questions.

Thank you Nan! I really appreciate it!

Best, Hao

nanxstats commented 5 years ago

@HaoWang47 -that would be great. Please do find and retire it, and probably keep only one Netlify site that has an rbind subdomain pointing to it.

I think you can, but ideally there should be only one site instead of two or three. As of now you got two sites with three domains which are all accessible... This might confuse search engines like google and the old links might rank higher.

We can keep this ticket open until you fix the issue.

HaoWang47 commented 5 years ago

@nanxstats - Hi Nan!

We can not find the site pliu.netlify.com so far. Also, I realized not only the portrait is pointing to the original file, but also all other internal links under Publications, Talks, Grants, and CV (pointing to pliu.rbind.io/talks/... instead of pengliu.netlify.com/talks/...). The portrait is not a big problem but other links do matter. Source codes pushed to GitHub have been correctly updated.

Would you know what I can do?

Thank you very much!

Hao

nanxstats commented 5 years ago

@HaoWang47 -I would probably suggest contacting Netlify support to help locate the old site.

yihui commented 5 years ago

FYI I have deleted pliu.netlify.com.

HaoWang47 commented 5 years ago

@nanxstats @yihui -

The website works now! Thank you very much for your help! I apologize I messed the website up during the summer.

Thank you!
