Hi there,

Then from that log you see no activity until 10:31 this morning, at which time it no longer wants to redirect hits to port 8080 or to /xwiki, it just wants to serve from its own html/ subdir.

They are different requests.

Your config snippets show that those two requests are handled in different
server{} blocks.

Because dwswiki10 is not explicit anywhere, it will be handled in the
first server{} here:

while you probably want it to be handled in this server{}

Either add "default_server" to the "listen" line, or add "dwswiki10"
to the "server_name" line. Or add a new server{} which redirects from
dwswiki10 to dwswiki10.westmarine.net.

Good luck with it,
