Bug 455801

Ok, not a missing rewrite rule.  Looks more like a core wpmu flaw when
NOBLOGREDIRECT is set...

Started a thread in the wpmu forums:

http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=8910

Looks like the issue is with how the original everest datasource snapshot took
place.  there should be a "blog/" url prefix for the main blog when not using
VHOST's.

Upping severity and priority, likely a db-level issue as a result of the initial installation.

*** Bug 457580 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Ok, so this does appear to be an issue w/ the original config of the system. 
Need to run a sql update of the system to fix the issue, and implement a
redirect ...

SQL change:
============
UPDATE wp_blogs SET path = '/internalblogs/' WHERE blog_id = 1;
commit;


Redirect:

proposed redirect config change

Attaching the patch since git diff's don't appear well as a comment...

Moving to product "Red Hat Collaboration Applications".

See User Story #50326.

Looks like this was the wrong fix; instead of moving the blog down to be a peer, should have probably fixed its permalink structure.  See:

http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=8910

Anyway, here's what needs to be applied to the db to revert the /internalblogs/ change:

UPDATE wp_blogs SET path = '/' WHERE blog_id = 1;

UPDATE wp_1_options SET option_value = 'http://blogs.collab.webdev.redhat.com/' WHERE option_name in ('siteurl', 'home') and option_value like '%blogs.collab.webdev%';

update wp_1_options set option_value = '/blog/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/' where option_name = 'permalink_structure';


Then need to alter the RedirectMatch to point /internalblogs/ stuff back to the root.  Silly me :(

Closing legacy junk.
