[webpages-l] german.genealogy.net is messed up
Our index page at german.genealogy.net is a bit messed up. First, the directory structure there is different. At www and www2, you go through a top-level directory gene. At german, you can't. Second, none of the three servers' index pages refer to german.genealogy.net, except that german's index page refers to http://w3g.med.uni-giessen.de/gene but the link is really to http://german.genealogy.net/index.html. So may I suggest: 1. Make the directory structures parallel between all three servers, with the top level directory gene. Note that the mirroring scheme may have to be altered to make this work correctly. 2. Fix the index pages on all three to refer correctly to all three servers, using the domain names www.genealogy.net, www2.genealogy.net, and german.genealogy.net. (Should have to do this on just www2, and the others will mirror this.) This has the advantage of agreeing with the FAQ v2.2.1 I just released! -- =Jim Eggert EggertJ@LL.mit.edu

We (Rainer, Dave & me) have just noticed this difference and exchanged eMail about this subject. Up to recently we mirrored using ftp. Dave mirrors with an NT program which automatically adjusts links. (I.e. all occurences of w3g.med.uni-giessen.de/gene are replaced with his server root)

This should not be a big deal, but as we noticed it just now it will probably take until tomorrow.
2. Fix the index pages on all three to refer correctly to all three servers, using the domain names www.genealogy.net, www2.genealogy.net, and german.genealogy.net. (Should have to do this on just www2, and the others will mirror this.)
The next step.

Excerpt from my recent mail to Dave:
on the other hand we've put much effort into keeping all links relative and where we didn't we had it under /gene. Now Jim's FAQ is out with a change from http://germanroots.genealogy.net/gene/ to http://german.genealogy.net/gene/ I hesitate to ask him to post a third version with german.genealogy.net only.

Yes, he is right, all directories are linked to the direktory /gene.- To be a real mirror on Your site (Dave) has to be exist a directory /gene that include all the pages. Thats the r3eason I don't are able to view german.genealogy.net :-) Rainer am 18-Dec-98 schrieb der ach so ferne Rechner von Jim Eggert :
