Make site not need PHP on production server about massiveoctomustache HOT 9 CLOSED

we can probably handle it with a .htaccess, when you ask for the root of the website just shamelessly drop a 301 and redirect to the right page.

I <3 Linux symbolic links, just linked index.html in the root (server side) to /miscellaneous/home.html, so we don't need PHP on the production server at all (for this site, anyway) so I will close this.

@LordFokas the way i pull the site down to the server has also changed so you will need to poke me to update it manually (till I potentially set up another script to do it)

if you used a symlink, you probably broke every relative link in the site. Also, every link is relative and not absolute, so you broke them all. :p

How so? When I say symlink, i mean that as far as Nginx is concerned, index.html is just another file. HTTP relative links still work

Also I think the GitHub IRC notifications are broked again

because instead of being redirected to the /misc folder you are served a file from the root folder, so relative links point from an outer level than they should.

doesn't make sense in my head, but it works, so I'll leave it be.
