Xapian discuss - Jul 2013 - Apparent xapian.org website misconfiguration?

Hi All,

Not sure if you already know this:

I was just in the process of showing someone xapian, when I found that 
the website is not functioning correctly.

It appears that PHP config is somehow not functioning correctly.

My apologies if this is the wrong place to report this, or if you 
already know this problem exists.

Best,

Thanks; I think this is fixed now.

xapian.org had a?curious approach to DirectoryIndex.

Thanks!

Only the front page was fixed.

I've now reworked the website to be generated statically with template
toolkit, which is saner than using PHP for templating, and everything
should now work (and load a little faster), except for the search
feature, which is the only really dynamic part of the website.

There are a few approaches we could use instead of PHP for /search,
but I'm not sure which to pick.  I'll discuss with James once he wakes
up.

This should also make it easier to deploy the website overhaul which
Justin was working on.

Cheers,
