The TEI website, wiki, etc. should all use a favicon.ico file. There is one on the TEI VM at /home/oxford/favicon.ico but I wasn't sure where to put it (and those places I tried the oxford account didn't have write access).

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon#Accessibility shows how to add a <link/> tag in the XHTML header to a custom icon location.

    After changes by James and David, the favicon seems to be working OK on tei-c.org, including Roma, but not on the wiki, where a permissions issue still seems to be preventing it:

    http://wiki.tei-c.org/favicon.ico

    Not sure who has the power to fix this.

    Required a redirect setting in LocalSettings.php on the wiki. Fixed.

    I'm still getting a 403 Forbidden here:

    http://wiki.tei-c.org/favicon.ico

    Forbidden

    You don't have permission to access /favicon.ico on this server.

    The TEI wiki is no longer using that URL. Instead, all the pages have

    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.tei-c.org/favicon.ico">

    So the 403 for http://wiki.tei-c.org/favicon.ico is no longer an issue. The reason it's returning 403 is something to do with stupid Web clients sending incessant requests for favicons when connecting to a virtual host. I could ask Shayne to alter the lines in httpd.conf that result in the 403 but I guess they are there for a reason.

    FYI, httpd.conf has:

    <IfModule mod_alias.c>
    RedirectMatch 403 favicon.ico
    </IfModule>

    Great! I'll close this ticket. Favicons are now working on all three sites.
