Product: Aleph
Product Version: 20, 21, 22, 23
Relevant for Installation Type: Dedicated-Direct, Direct, Local, Total Care

Description
DNS http://xxxx.exlibrisgroup.com:8992 (without the "/F") is being directed to the wrong server (the Test server). DNS http://xxxx.exlibrisgroup.com:8992/F (with the "/F") is redirected properly.

As described in Article "How to set the redirection when accessing http://<WWW_HOST>:<HTTPD_PORT> in Aleph", the relevant file is $httpd_root/htdocs/.index.html. The file's relevant line is:

var loc = "http://yyyy.exlibrisgroup.com/F?RN="+session;

Resolution:
This URL needs to point to the OPAC server (the server where the www_server is running for this particular Aleph instance) -- in this case, http://xxxx.exlibrisgroup.com/F .
