Done. Many thanks. Please check and let me know if it's okay :)

Where did you change it?  You didn't put it the SVN repository.

It works for me now, you must have changed it again, that's better :-)

The mod_rewrite stuff is really weird on that server - at the end of last year I put in a rule which should have made http://wiki.inkscape.org/favicon.ico not redirect to http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/favicon.ico - which gives a 404 - and it doesn't work.  And I don't understand why - the syntax is all correct and it should work fine.

It looks Chris is talking about having added this stuff for the favicon problem:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^wiki.inkscape.org [NC] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wiki RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/favicon.ico$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /wiki$1 [L]

It looks right to me too... I know that doesn't help much yet.

Can you maybe show us (or email to me) the main apache config, if it doesn't include anything sensitive? Just to see what redirecting is being done, it would be good if we can fix the favicon problem while this web stuff is being looked at.

It could be the contents of a file that resides here or somewhere similar:

/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/inkscape.org or /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/www.inkscape.org

Thanks, Craig
