Description

After the move I noticed that http://toolserver.org/~erfgoed stopped redirecting traffic to http://tools.wmflabs.org/heritage/ . I checked my backup and the old homedir did contain an .htaccess file. Another MMP (multi maintainer project) (~locator) also stopped redirecting. Maybe the dump Marc got didn't include the MMP's? Please find out what is missing and correct this.

It's indeed a little worrying that both of the missing redirect do come from MMPs. I've added the redirect from /~erfgoed/

Where was /~locator/ supposed to redirect to?

Rather simpel, to tools.wmflabs.org/locator/

Coren: https://toolserver.org/~nlwikibots is also broken (was also an MMP), but that's not really a huge issue. It was a redirect to https://tools.wmflabs.org/nlwikibots (which then redirects to the current project page on nlwiki)

Both of those added.

coren moved this task from Backlog to Waiting for information on the Toolforge board.Dec 23 2014, 7:34 PM

@coren: Can we put the redirects on a git repo somewhere? The web redirects shouldn't be private info, I think.

This is a rather severe bug. Does WMF have copies of the user/project .htaccess files?

The two URLs mentioned in this task now redirect properly, and putting the configuration into a Git repository is covered by T85165. I assume the column change to "Waiting for information" was accidental.

This is not resolved, just stalled.

If you are keen on not saying much, you don't have to say anything. The information that you think "this is not resolved, just stalled" is already conveyed by Phabricator:
