1124670 - 301 redirect treeherder.m.o/ui/* to /*

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tree Management :: Treeherder: Infrastructure, defect, P2)

Description

[Ed Morley [:emorley]]

Bug 1063411 meant that the UI is served out of the domain root, rather than /ui/*

However the old style URLs don't redirect, so people are still pasting them everywhere.

Please could you set up a 301 redirect on stage/prod? :-)

Just to double check, this is what I think is needed:
  
RewriteRule ^/ui([^/]*) https://treeherder.mozilla.org/$1 [R=301]

I wanted to avoid putting the FQDN in there but you end up with double slashes if you don't. OTOH, maybe there's a different way...  tested on one stage node and it appeared to work correctly.

I think this would this work?

RewriteRule ^ui/(.*) $1 [R=301]

(Tested using http://htaccess.madewithlove.be/ )

Hmph, apache docs explicitly say an unqualified/unanchored substitution is invalid; plus, I think I tested it with another flag that made it really not work. 

Tried your suggestion and got "The requested URL /ui/ was not found on this server."

But this works:
RewriteRule ^/ui(.*) $1 [R=301]

It's in place on staging and I don't see anything broken. If it's good, let me know and I'll push to prod.

Thank you - looks fine on stage to me :-)
