Fix 403 errors on direct URL access to subpages#37
Merged
Conversation
Add .htaccess with Apache rewrite rules to map clean URLs to their corresponding .html files. Without this, accessing paths like /smart-contracts/ returns 403 because VuePress generates smart-contracts.html but no smart-contracts/index.html.
Rule 1: /path -> internally serves /path.html (no redirect visible) Rule 2: /path/ -> 301 redirect to /path.html (trailing slash fallback)

One rule covers both /path and /path/: capture path without optional trailing slash, check if matching .html exists, internally rewrite. URL stays clean - no visible redirect, no .html exposed in browser.

Summary
.htaccesswith Apache rewrite rules to fix 403 errors on direct URL access.htmlfile and a same-named subdirectoryProblem
VuePress generates e.g.
positions.htmlalongside apositions/directory (for child pages). When Apache receives/positions, it sees the directory first and returns 403 (noindex.htmlinside). This affects/positions,/reserve, and/smart-contracts.How the rules work
/path→ Apache mod_rewrite catches this before mod_dir, internally serves/path.html(no redirect visible to user)/path/→ 301 redirect to/path.html(trailing slash fallback)Why .htaccess instead of directory restructure
This repo is an active fork of d-EURO/documentation with regular upstream syncs. Restructuring files (
positions.md→positions/README.md) would cause merge conflicts on every future sync. The.htaccessapproach is a single file addition with zero impact on content files or upstream compatibility.Test plan
.htaccessis deployed via FTP/smart-contracts,/positions,/reservereturn 200 instead of 403/smart-contracts/functions,/positions/openstill work/overview,/savings) unaffected
