I’m trying out the language redirect extension on my dev/test  
environment without success. I’ve read various mailing list threads on  
it, the README file in the extension, as well as the wiki page in the  
old trac wiki. (So I think I’m not making known newbie mistakes…)

Anyway I get no redirect at all when I view the site’s root page. Has  
anyone tried this extension since the 0.6.4 release? Any suggestions  
would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Bill

My env:

Solved it… I finally looked at the Page Type selection for my root  
page; set it to “Language Redirect” and it works perfectly.
