1146890 - Add mozillademos.org domain to MDN stage stack

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Infrastructure & Operations Graveyard :: WebOps: Community Platform, task)

Description

[Jannis Leidel [:jezdez]]

We use a separate domain for hosting demos in production (mdn.mozillademos.org) and local development (mdn-local.mozillademos.org) but missing something similar in the stage environment (e.g. "mdn-stage.mozillademos.org").

Please add a new domain as well as the Apache configuration needed to do that. The prod setup contains a Apache virtual host that proxies to the main wsgi app. This could be used to replicate the same pattern on stage.

The domain needs SSL as well.

Hi :cyliang, as mentioned on IRC yesterday, the ticket to create mdn-stage.mozillademos.org

Can we do mdn-demos.allizom.org instead? If so, that's one SSL cert we don't have to pay for (especially for a stage site).

Poking about in the Apache configs for prod and stage, I found that there is something similar to mdn.mozillademos.org for stage: developer-samples.allizom.org.  I've attached a copy of the configs.  The only difference I can see is an additional ProxyPassMatch line for URLs with files in addition to the existing one for samples.

@jezdez:  If I add in that ProxyPassMatch line, would the developer-samples.allizom.org domain work as a staging site for mdn.mozillademos.org?  

In testing, it looks like 
   https://mdn.mozillademos.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/MathML_Project/MathML_Torture_Test$samples/MathML_Torture_Test 
works where
  https://developer-samples.allizom.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/MathML_Project/MathML_Torture_Test$samples/MathML_Torture_Test
does not, but I think that's just a matter of tweaking the ALLOWED_HOSTS to include developer-samples.allizom.org.

:cyliang Yeah, that domain would work splendidly, thanks!

Comment 5

[C. Liang [:cyliang]]

After making changes to both the Apache config and to the ALLOWED_HOSTS setting for the staging site, the URL I used for testing [1] seems to work.  However, there do seem to be some differences in the fonts offered which changes the size of the drop-down box.

If this is sufficient for what you need, please let me know.  Otherwise, I'll need a list of what other assets might need to be copied. =)

:cyliang This needs an update of the ATTACHMENT_HOST setting on the stage servers as well. That should be:

  ATTACHMENT_HOST = 'developer-samples.allizom.org'

Comment 7

[C. Liang [:cyliang]]

Setting has been added to the stage servers, pushed out, and the web server in staging has had a graceful restart.

[Jannis Leidel [:jezdez]]

That worked, thanks!
