Description

[JP Schneider :jp]

Early on thursday morning, prior to approximately 9am, we will be needing to setup permanent redirects for

mozillaopennews.org --> opennews.org
www.mozillaopennews.org --> opennews.org
source.mozillaopennews.org --> source.opennews.org

How can I best coordinate with you on it?

-> % host mozillaopennews.org

www.mozillaopennews.org is an alias for mozillaopennews.org.
mozillaopennews.org has address 63.245.223.162

These are currently all pointing to the same VMs in Labs, what specifically are you looking to have changed?

As a point of clarification: 9AM in PDT or some other time zone?

Comment 3

[JP Schneider :jp]

We'll want mozillaopennews.org and www.mozillaopennews.org to 301 to opennews.org
Similarly, we'll want source.mozillaopennews.org to 301 to source.opennews.org

Our objective here is to switch domain names.  I control the DNS zone for opennews.org, and while opennews.org is moving to S3, source.opennews.org will continue to point back to vm labs.

The announcement is at 9am eastern, so we can probably say about 30 minutes prior to that?

[C. Liang [:cyliang]]

8:30 AM EDT works.  I think I should be able to put in a redirect on the Labs load balancer to do this:

    if ( http.getPath() == "/" ) {  
         http.sendResponse( "301 Moved Permanently", "text/html", "", "Location: http://<NEWURL>"  );  
    }  

As a side note, it looks like "mozillaopennews.org" == "knightmozilla.com" and "knightmozilla.org", so the redirect at the load balancer will also repoint folks hitting those names.

[JP Schneider :jp]

We could probably redo those 301's for knightmozilla.com and knightmozilla.org straight to the opennews.org domain so we save our users a 301.

The plan is solid, you are solid, and I appreciate it!  I'll hit you up at 8:30am eastern tomorrow morning!

Goood morning sunshine!
Lets do this! :)

Comment 7

[JP Schneider :jp]

We added planet.mozillaopennews.com --> planet.opennews.org

While we are at it, might we be able to add the SSL cert to source load balancer?  it is a cert for source.opennews.org on the domain for it, so it should be aok.

* Redirects are in place and should be working for:
   mozillaopennews.org 
   www.mozillaopennews.org
   source.mozillaopennews.org
   knightmozilla.com
   knightmozilla.org

* As relayed in IRC, planet.mozillaopennews.org looks like part of a larger feed service and a bug probably needs to be filed in Websites :: planet.mozilla.org.

* I'm not sure how adding the SSL cert to the ZLB would interact with the trafficscript rule and there is not HTTPS on opennews.org at the moment.  Once the cert is installed at opennews.org, the trafficscript rule on the Labs load balancer can be retweaked to force HTTPS redirection and/or we can experiment with this at some later (non-announcement) date. 

* JP confirms that source-dev.mozillalabs.com should stay put for now.

* At some point after MozFest, JP will file bugs RE: decommissioning the infrastructure bits in Labs.

We'll leave this open for the planet.mozilla.org bit, and I'll move the SSL parts to a different ticket.
After Mozfest, I'll get Dan to a new dev server if he wants so we can decom.

Thanks again for your help!!
