787240 - permanently redirect URLs from old crash-stats site

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Socorro :: Infra, task)

Description

[Robert Helmer [:rhelmer]]

We are changing the URL scheme used by the django app, let's use rewrite rules so that old URLs don't break.

Comment 1

[Robert Helmer [:rhelmer]]

I can handle the obvious cases, but is it worth e.g. looking at access logs on the current webheads to make sure we're not missing anything?

Would be nice to get a breakdown of URLs ordered by count for the past year (or whatever time period is sufficient).

Comment 2

[Robert Helmer [:rhelmer]]

peterbe suggests using urls.py for this instead, so it's under direct dev control and isn't hidden away in the Apache config. Sounds reasonable to me!

Comment 3

[Robert Helmer [:rhelmer]]

Should not happen until after we ship and make sure we didn't do any of these wrong - temporary redirects are much easier to fix than permanent ones :)

Comment 4

[Robert Helmer [:rhelmer]]

Peterbe would you mind taking care of this one?

There are more URLs that 404 but the majority of the biggest offenders has now been dealt with.

Bumping to qa verified -  I do not see 404s although there is a new 500 error on the report/list summary. Bug 902839 captures this.
