404459 - remove static index.html from MDC root

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

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

Description

[Jeremy Baron]

devmo's landing page is out of sync with /en/docs/Main_Page and it appears the cron job that grabbed it and put a copy in /index.html on giles is not running.
it's now being served with header Last-Modified: Tue, 21 Aug 2007 17:11:55 GMT

The most noticeable affect is that devnews stories are stale (3 consecutive posts that don't share a category)
This could of course be fixed with a redirect (internal or external) if load is not a concern.

Another candidate for the new mradm02?

We should just be getting rid of that index-generation anyway, as was asked for in some other bug ages ago.  We have the netscaler in front now, which we didn't when that stopgap was put into place.

Resummarizing.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that some request was being recklessly ignored; the comment I mention above wasn't the focus of the bug in question, as I recall, and the change was deferred for good reason at the time.  It's a new time now, though, and a good time to finish that off.

Since we are changing the front page it should probably be done in a window.

Comment 7

[Mike Shaver (:shaver -- probably not reading bugmail closely)]

Are we still waiting on a window here?

Comment 8

[Jeremy Orem [:oremj]]

Fixed.
