https://manual.nexusformat.org/ results in 404 error (not found)

https://nexusformat.github.io/definitions displays as expected.

Any idea when this started happening? manual.nexusformat.org is just a dns alias for nexusformat.github.io so it feel like something may have changed at the github pages end? It seems that https://nexusformat.github.io is no longer serving the definitions root, maybe there is a new setting that needs applying?

[prjemian]

Started with #1128. That might be the place to start looking. Thanks, @FreddieAkeroyd !

maybe we have lost the custom domain from https://github.com/nexusformat/definitions/settings/pages ? i can look tomorrow if you haven't solved it, I need to get some sleep now :-D

[prjemian]

Hmmm... It's blank now. Wonder if just entering "https://manual.nexusformat.org/" will solve? I'll try now.

[prjemian]

We need a CNAME file in the repository root according to these helpful docs.

Our manual is published to: nexusformat.github.io/definitions so slightly different.

[prjemian]

We are publishing with this code:

definitions/.github/workflows/publish-sphinx.yml

Lines 79 to 83 in d9574a8

	- name: Build (html) and Commit
	uses: sphinx-notes/pages@master
	with:
	# path to conf.py directory
	documentation_path: build/manual/source

Looks possible to redirect using target_path.

[prjemian]

Syntax is not completely obvious, will try with ...

Note that:

(bluesky_2022_3) prjemian@zap:~/Documents/sandbox$ nslookup nexusformat.org

This is the ISIS Computing Server for web VMs.

added CNAME as described in the link from @prjemian, and as @FreddieAkeroyd did in Jan 23, 2020

I agree, the https://manual.nexusformat.org/ website is found online again. @sanbrock Thanks!
