Details
The donate.mozilla.org URL should redirect to an actual donation page instead of giving people an error. There may be some traffic going there since this is a public site, but it would also be useful for us to be able to use it as an easy to remember short URL for promotions, tweets, etc.

I don't think it can direct to a BSD donation form, but I will check. Perhaps it could be much like the old donation page with a list of projects you can donate to?

If you can't do a redirect to the current main donation page, then at least having an index of all current donation options sounds like a good idea. I'll change the subject to have the goal be not serving an error on that page.
Summary: Have main donate.mozilla.org page redirect to an actual donation page → Have main donate.mozilla.org page not serve an error to people

i took a look inthe BSD admin and don't see any way to set a page on the root.
It seems that I am limited to creating pages under /page/content/ or campaigns under /page/contribute/
My permissions seem fairly limited though - perhaps someone with more privileges can do more?

I'd be surprised if there wasn't some way to set a .htaccess file somewhere, although I admit I know nothing about how things are set up on the site.

Chelsea and I have updated the default page at https://donate.mozilla.org/page/contribute as per IRC conversation with Chelsea.

Update from BSD
"We have to set up a redirect, but we can easily have one of your content pages be the main redirect for / . And that's only necessary for /. You can create any shortcut you want off of the top level using the Shortcuts module."
Let me know if that works.

Re comment #7, that sounds like what we want -- having a redirect to one of the existing pages.
Re comment #6, I guess I don't know what the default page is for if it's not showing up by default when someone goes to donate.mozilla.org. When does someone see that one?

it seems to only redirect from pages that dont resolve under https://donate.mozilla.org/page/contribute
so for example https://donate.mozilla.org/page/contribute/give_ned_allkinds_of_money would just land the user at https://donate.mozilla.org/page/contribute and not with huge wads of cache in my pockets.
https://donate.mozilla.org/page/ or https://donate.mozilla.org/ both lead to 403s

okay,
I built out the page at http://mozilla.bluestatedigital.com/page/content/donate to be used as the redirect from https://donate.mozilla.org/
Chelsea is talking to BSD about setting up the redirect.

Bug filed with the BSD sysadmin. Should be redirecting by Friday.
Comment 13•14 years ago

fwiw, any time I can work my way up a path, the page should direct somewhere. e.g, https://donate.mozilla.org/page should go somewhere as well or at least be a designed 404 page...

Chelsea I am assigning this to you as you are in contact with BSD about the resolution: care to add Samuel's point in Comment 13 to your request to BSD?
Thanks!

Any chance https://donate.mozilla.org/ will not throw mixed content warnings? Or am I hoping for too much?

That's still happening? Ned, can you look into it and see why that's still happening. I thought we'd resolved that.

I'm going to reopen the bug for now so the issue doesn't get lost. Let me know if you'd rather have me file a new one.

Fine by me. Thanks.
Comment 21•14 years ago

As far as I can see, the problem here is that donate.mozilla.org refers to resources on https://mozilla.org. The SSL cert is for *.mozilla.org, so we'll need to change all references to https://mozilla.org to https://www.mozilla.org.
Comment 22•14 years ago

Okay, I've made that change and it looks to be okay. Reopen if you notice any other pages throwing SSL related warnings.
