            Bug ID: 298218
           Summary: local build of docs.freebsd.org redirects you to
                    docs.freebsd.org
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Website
          Assignee: doc@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: ziaee@FreeBSD.org

# Observed Behavior

cd docs; make
firefox documentation/public/index.html

Contributor is redirected to docs.freebsd.org, bypassing local changes.

# Expected Behavior

cd docs; make
firefox documentation/public/index.html

Contributor gets localhost/index.html, showing the changes they are attempting
to test.

# Why this is a problem

This is confusing because public/index.html is always understood to be the top
level of the site. This discourages new contributors from getting started
contributing to docs.
