397904 - top-level .htaccess file missing in the ftp tree

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(mozilla.org Graveyard :: Server Operations, task)

Description

[Nick Thomas [:nthomas] (UTC+12)]

A nightly tester noticed that Minefield tries to display .dmg files downloaded from the new ftp.m.o., rather than offer to save them. (Incidentally, Minefield copes less gracefully than Fx2 does, see bugs 396726, 396732).

Could we make sure all the custom types in surf/manna's apache config are copied over to the new box ?

Added:

AddType application/octet-stream .dmg 

To apache.

Can't find this in the vhost file, I'll move it there (as well as checking for anything else on manna that didn't make it).  These need to go in the vhost file for the affected domain, not in the main httpd.conf, otherwise it'll get lost again next time we move to a new machine (like it did this time).

Is the list of content-type changes up-to-date on http://www.mozilla.org/mirroring.html? If not, please update it, along with all the size data and other things on that page.

This turns out to be fallout from the big rsync to the netapp last night.  The top-level .htaccess file never made it to the new tree.  This means we lost the filetype overrides on all the releases mirrors as well.

OK, the .htaccess file has been copied over, and the mirroring.html page has been updated to reflect reality (may need to wait for the cache to expire to see the new version).
