Google indexing disabled for a blog due to accidental misconfiguration

l-you avatarl-you

The same robots.txt issue that previously affected https://l-you.revotale.com occurred again after migrating the blog to https://blog.revotale.com with a new design and tech stack. It was caused by the same type of misconfiguration. This time I fixed the infrastructure so it cannot happen again.

After much debugging and many attempts, Google still refuses to recrawl the robots.txt file. I may have to wait 5 days again, as happened last time: https://blog.revotale.com/note/it-took-5-days-to-index-the-personal-revotale-website-after-icorrect-robots-txt
