Thanks! It is good to see some progress here.

However we should improve the redirection in such a way that any URL
starting with gluster.org/community/documentation/ gets pointed to the
new site.  There was a plan to map all pages to their right new
location, but that seems rather painful to do. A generic redirect would
still allow existing search results, bookmarks or links on other pages
reach the new docs.

Maybe Misc could put that in the webserver config? Or someone could
write an index.php (that was in all URLs anyway, right?) that does the
redirection.

Thanks,
Niels

yeah, I am gonna do it in the web server config, and move that config from salt to ansible while on it.

Comment 2 Michael S. 2016-07-25 15:06:18 UTC
So we have:

Redirect permanent /rdo.php     http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/OpenStack
Redirect permanent /presos.php  http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Presentation
Redirect permanent /docs/       http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Main_Page

Can we consider this to be obsoletes now ?

And we have:

RedirectMatch ^/documentation/(.*) http://www.gluster.org/docs-redirect/

I will extend that to /community/documentation as well ?

Looks like misc has fixed this. Closing as resolved.

Comment 4 Amye Scavarda 2016-08-15 18:56:14 UTC
We should revisit this because we're discovering that there are things that people did need that are getting redirected into places where they don't exist. 

The review of all /community and Mediawiki work and moving into RTD was dependent on being able to resolve the search issues with RTD  - which is still outstanding.

However, with a focus on moving off RTD and into another system, we may be able to move what was in Mediawiki into the canonical documentation as part of this.

Could "there are things that people did need that are getting redirected into places where they don't exist. " be a bit more detailed ?

Comment 6 Amye Scavarda 2016-08-16 17:41:45 UTC
I have gotten multiple questions about where pieces from the mediawiki have gotten moved. 

Please can we revisit this?

Could you expand on the "pieces from the mediawiki"? Depending on the "piece", it can be redirected to the correct RTD page, or elsewhere...

Comment 8 Amye Scavarda 2016-08-16 18:13:55 UTC
At the very least, 
http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Features/Opversion that's marked in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1365706.

What would also help me get more data is tracking on the documentation site, as right now the redirect is not reporting back on what our highest hit pages are.

Comment 9 M. Scherer 2016-08-16 21:23:34 UTC
So I cloned the bug report, since the discussion is not the same request, and ths one is afaik closed. Moving to another bug permit to at least have differents person assigned and differents status.
