In svn r486 (head), the email validation links don't work. According to one of my users, "it looks like the email validation worked, but I got a 404 on the explicit link and a different, unreproducible error on the anchor link."

Any idea why?

The question has been closed for the following reason "Other: Downgraded to svn r460, which is what meta runs, as suggested by Hernani (http://meta.osqa.net/questions/3164/crash-on-subscription-change-subscriptionsettingsuser-must-be-a-user-instance#3188). Works for me" by Joseph 05 Jul '10, 03:27


It's probably another consequence of running under a sub-path when the software doesn't fully support that yet. Without any actual details, I'm gonna guess it could be another case where a path has an extra "/qa" injected, just like ALL the links in your sitemap file (which isn't doing you any good.)

UPDATE: I signed up, and sure enough, that is exactly the problem. The link in the email has an extra "/qa" in it. Remove it, and the validation works as expected.

The sitemap was working a few revisions ago because it was based on the url in the django sites table, which I can bet does not contain the /qa. We changed that as per your request to use the APP_URL setting.

Wait APP_URL or APP_DOMAIN/
