(support.mozilla.org :: Search, defect)

Description

[Stephen Donner [:stephend] Not actively reading bugmail]

Filing this so we either:

A) fix it (doesn't happen on support-stage.mozilla.org)
B) make sure to double-check it after we merge the sumo-forumux branch into support-stage

STR:

1. Load https://sumo-forumux.stage.mozilla.com/search.php?where=all&locale=en-US&q=stephen&sa=Search
2. Click on any of the results

Expected Results:

Taken to forum threads

Actual Results:

Not Found

The requested URL /1/385800 was not found on this server.

It looks to me like it's an .htaccess issue. IT, can you take a quick look?

Test for:
https://support-stage.mozilla.org/en-US/forum/1/385800?s=stephen
versus
https://sumo-forumux.stage.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/385800?s=stephen
(second is 404)
Yet query string is identical.

Ran htaccess.sh and Paul says it's all good.

We should probably run the same script that runs htaccess.sh on support-stage on forumux too.

Since we're almost done with 1.5, I'm thinking it won't be too useful to set up right now. But if we would keep the server set up and use it every milestone, then yeah, we should. James, you call it.

I'm planning on merging the search branch down to trunk on Friday and asking IT to get rid of the forumux stage server afterwards, to help clean up some disk space on the DB server. Long story short: don't bother unless it's trivial.

Verified FIXED; ran it through the W3C's link checker, as well as spot-checked the links.
