573380 - Google links to invalid SSL certificate error for AMO

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

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

Description

[Jesper Kristensen]

When I search Google like this:

http://www.google.dk/search?q=QuickPasswords

Then the third link on the page goes to:

https://addons.acelb.sj.mozilla.com/da/firefox/addon/75777

Where I get an SSL error page.

Mozilla should do something (robots.txt or whatever) so that Google does not index the wrong pages.

Over to the addons devs for comment before IT takes any action on this.

No idea how that subdomain made it to google.

Comment 2

I don't think this is a dev thing - we're not linking to it anywhere (and searching for it with link: on google brings up nothing).  If I had to guess, I'd say somewhere in all the switching to phx/sjc a box wasn't configured correctly and fell back to a default hostname for long enough that google picked it up.

robots.txt is usually created/maintained by webdev?

I don't know how robots.txt can help us here.  The site in question is a checkout of the real AMO.  IT should shutdown direct access to addons.acelb.sj.m.c and redirect to the real AMO hostname.

Indeed, not an AMO issue. Back to IT.

Comment 6

[Justin Scott [:fligtar]]

In addition to addons.acelb.sj.mozilla.com, I also just got this in a search result:

https://dyna-addons.nslb.sj.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/addon/2207?lang=fi

These links go to the SSL warning that tells people to run away, so we should resolve this soon.

[Jeremy Orem [:oremj]]

The default vhost is now just a redirect to addons.mozilla.org, so hosts like dyna-addons.nslb.sj.mozilla.com should no longer return 200s.

[Wil Clouser [:clouserw]]

http://dyna-addons.nslb.sj.mozilla.com/z/en-US/firefox/personas/websites is a 302 to https://addons.mozilla.org/z/en-US/firefox/personas/websites now, which is better, but a 302 tells search engines it's a temporary relocation so they are still hitting the dyna-addons address.  Please make it a 301.

Changed to 301.
