Site.yaml redirect, but I get a browser error: The page is not redirecting properly

Support

Hello
I want to redirect the website root to productos (products) page: 01.productos is the blog directory renamed, If I place in site.yaml this

redirects:
  '/': 'productos'

In the url I get:
http://website.com/new/esproductosesproductosesproductosesproductosesproductosesproductosesproductosesproductosesproductosesproductosesproductosesproductosesproductosesproductosesproductosesproductosesproductosesproductosesproductos

Please note that the added “es” is the language Spanish. I do not understand what is going on, I tried several other ways but does not work.

This is the browser error:

The page is not redirecting properly
Firefox detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
This problem may be happening due to having disabled cookies.

I am using Quark skeleton 2.0.0 and Grav and plugins are upgraded to latest versions.
Any Idea?
Thanks and regards

@joejac, If you want page /user/pages/01.productos to be the home page, you should set the following in /user/config/system.yaml:

home:
  alias: '/productos'

and remove the redirect in /user/config/site.yaml.

but I mistakenly placed in site.yaml sorry :see_no_evil:

One last thing on this issue @pamtbaau
I had to use the redirection trick because when I renamed the main 01.blog page of Quark skeleton with 01.productos the website lost the home, when I entered the website it gave me “Error 404” for the entrance page of the website, any Idea of what I missed in my changes or website configuration?
Thanks and regards

@joejac, Have you tried $ bin/grav cache?

Thanks @pamtbaau
After any change done, I always erase the cache via the Admin plugin > Dashboard >Clear cache >All cache, I do not use command line.

  1. So this time I deleted the alias from user/config/system.yaml and saved without it:
home:
  alias: '/productos'
  1. Then I cleared cache with the command line instruction:
    bin/grav cache

3. But same problem, please see attached screen capture
Error404

6. Templates not touched, I copied a modified Quark Skeleton from other web site, and the home page was working in this new website until I changed the name of the 01.blog directory
.
Any more ideas or I go back to the alias? I would prefer to avoid tricks.

Thanks and best regards.

@joejac,

  1. So this time I deleted the alias from user/config/system.yaml and saved without it:

Don’t remove the home.alias: /productos. Without it, Grav will try to find the default page /home which does not exist on your system. Hence the 404.

Ok, you have given a bit more context info, but it’s still not clear to me what you are doing and when you get the 404.

Would you mind trying:

  • Copy your current Grav installation somewhere as backup
  • Create fresh install of the Blog skeleton
    • What is the path to the installation?
  • Rename /user/pages/01.blog to /user/pages/01.productos
  • Set:
    home:
  alias: /productos
  • Without making any other changes, what do you do to get the 404?

I am so sorry,

  1. I installed the original Quark Blog skeleton and it has in system.yaml in line 1
home:
  alias: '/blog'
  1. I checked system.yaml in my previous installation that I used as base installation for the new oil website and that same 2 lines were in line 29 and 30 of system.yaml
  2. In the new oil installation I had it also in lines 31 and 32, that I did not noticed :see_no_evil::

For that reason it did not work when I renamed blog to productos.

  1. I also had a lot of extra stuff in the system.yaml that is not part of the original Quark system.yaml, so I used only the original Quark system.yaml and I only added the additional language section, I placed the correct alias only to /productos and now is working fine.

I am sorry for my confusion, and thanks a lot for your patience and guidance @pamtbaau

Best regards
