Description Xixi 2013-12-19 22:31:53 UTC
Description of problem:
Noticed this when a RHN API documentation link / bookmark is hitting "Page Not Found" at https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/Red_Hat_Network/API_Documentation/ (which is also the top google result for "RHN API").

It looks like https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Network/ still exists, but there is now a version "5.0.0" for RHN which wasn't there before, which changes the urls to the lower level doc links (i.e., https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/Red_Hat_Network/API_Documentation/ has become https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Network/5.0.0/html/API_Documentation/index.html)

Was the documentation rebuilt with a version for RHN Classic?  Need to put in redirects from old urls to the new ones so customers/associates/search engines/other links/bookmarks etc don't keep hitting 404s.

This applies for all 3 of RHN Classic guides:
API Documentation
Client Configuration Guide
Reference Guide 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Current.

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/Red_Hat_Network/API_Documentation/ directly or Google "RHN API" and click 1st result.
2. Go to https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Network/Reference_Guide/s1-sm-users.html directly or Google "RHN Reference Guide" and click on 2nd result.
3. Go to https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Network/Client_Configuration/ directly or Google "rhn client configuration guide" and click on 3rd result.

Actual results:
All 404's

Expected results:
Redirected from old to new urls.
