Just a short notice: The / URL is broken but /index.pl works.

Likely, this is due to a redirect/Apache config rule going missing while setting up new SSL certificates.

    This message is hard to find though if you do not know the message in the first place. I was pointed to this on IRC by Discipulus

    Thanks for your work Corion ..and time and.. everything :)

    I dont know if this is related, the same thing, or another but the choroba's nice pm-cb-g client dies with:

    There is no form numbered 1 at ./perl5.26.64bit/perl/vendor/lib/WWW/Me +chanize.pm line 1006

    L*

    PS I also see Others exploiting the Monastery: (None) since yesterday.

    Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.

      I would assume that the client does not find a <form> element because it uses https://perlmonks.com/?node=xxx instead of https://perlmonks.com/index.pl?node=xxx.

        That's correct and it's been fixed :-)

    That explains why my redirect on Update Userspace Links no longer works. Thank you for figuring it out!

    Update: No, it doesn't. I changed it from /? to /index.pl? and it still doesn't work. Well, the root cause may be the same: something got whacked in the apache config.

        FWIW, both work for me now. But I have problems staying logged in www.perlmonks.org , but this might be related to my cookie restrictions.
