[okfn-help] Big problem with okfestival blog domain permalinks

Mon Aug 20 12:00:47 UTC 2012

Thanks Rufus - going to okfestival.org does now work.

The individual new pages still seem to not work even with the domain fixed,
but I've noticed that if you change the individual URLs for each to
something shorter, the new URL works (Juha, it looks like we'll have to do
this for *all* new pages that aren't working...)

For example:
http://okfestival.org/topic-stream-open-research-and-education/school-of-data-and-school-of-open/

<- didn't work, so I changed it to:
http://okfestival.org/schoolofdata/
(which does work).

Juha, let me know if you're able to log in on your server now?

Thanks again, all.
Kat
