Description

We'll need to push the 5 years of Firefox website live this weekend.  We could either do it Saturday afternoon or 10am Sunday.  I plan on being around to help.

What's the domain?

I know it's weekend, but I'd like to ask to make the push as late as possible, even on Sunday evening (PST). We had a last-minute change to a legal message on the site (bug 527052), and I'd like to give the localizers some time to update their translations.

Thanks in advance.

Attachment: Make locale detection/redirection work after the push (apply on production only)

Just a note to make the push easier. Right now, we're detecting the locale in index.php and redirecting like this:

header('Location: /'. $lang .'/'); 

(see <http://viewvc.svn.mozilla.org/vc/projects/fyfx/trunk/index.php?revision=55336&view=markup>)

This patch changes this header so that the redirection continues to work after the push. It should be only applied to the production code (branch?), otherwise it will break the staging server's locale detection.

You'll need to commit that patch before we push live. I'd recommend just making the path configurable.

Also, I am gone from 5pm -> midnight. What time do you want to push this?

Comment 8

[Michael Morgan [:morgamic]]

We can push between 12 and 3 today.  I'll be online at lunchtime.

Comment 9

[Staś Małolepszy :stas]

I was going to suggest 2 or 3pm. That should be enough to troubleshoot any potential issues (not that I'm expecting any, of course... :)

Re the patch -- what do you mean by 'configurable'? Keep the path as a variable in a config file that will not be tracked by svn?

Comment 10

[Jeremy Orem [:oremj]]

Let's do 3pm.

Comment 11

[Michael Morgan [:morgamic]]

3pm works -- I'll sort things out and write up instructions for you so it should be pretty smooth.

Yes, add it to the config file and maybe default it to / so it doesn't break existing installs.

Comment 13

[Michael Morgan [:morgamic]]

I'll work this into the code so it's not a hack.

Comment 14

[Michael Morgan [:morgamic]]

By hack I mean a local change -- we can just work it in gracefully as jeremy said.  :)

Comment 15

[Michael Morgan [:morgamic]]

Ok, I submitted a fix for working in a subdirectory.  Deployment instructions:

1. create database:

http://svn.mozilla.org/projects/fyfx/trunk/scripts/Mozilla%2020091029%201728.sql

2. check out code:

svn co https://svn.mozilla.org/projects/fyfx/trunk/ 5years

3. set up config:

cd 5years
cp components/Config-dist.php components/Config.php

Insert DB and API info as needed.  Set the $site_path to '/5years/'.

Comment 16

[Michael Morgan [:morgamic]]

Note: we'll have to modify whatever we have to modify to get spreadirefox.com/5years to work correctly.  I assume this is in a redirect.  CC-ing buchanan.

[Jeremy Orem [:oremj]]

Everything seems to work now. Fixed.
