1050273 - [basket] Admin is redirecting strangely

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Infrastructure & Operations Graveyard :: WebOps: Product Delivery, task)

Description

[Paul [:pmac] McLanahan]

STR:

1) Go to basket admin: https://basket.mozilla.org/admin/
2) see error about redirection

Expected: See basket login admin

curl shows that a request to the URL in step 1 above returns a 301 to the same url. I'm not sure when this started, but I saw it for the first time this morning.

i just had a look at the apache config and there is nothing in there that does a redirect for the /admin url. could this redirect be coming from django?

  $ grep admin domains/basket.mozilla.org.conf
  Alias /admin-media/ /data/www/basket.mozilla.org/basket/vendor/src/django/django/contrib/admin/media/

Me either. Something's changed recently because it's been working just fine for a year or more. Just started doing this. I've no ideas so far. No new version of the app has been deployed recently.

looks like i tracked this down to an apache config change :jakem had made on 07/29. i have reverted those changes and it looks like /admin is now working correctly.

Nice work! Confirmed that admin is working again.
