Hi all,
We are now redirecting non-existing pages in netbeans.apache.org to the
old website (137.254.56.26) by using a custom htaccess file [1]
For example, the following URL:
https://netbeans.apache.org/kb/previous.html
does not exist in netbeans.apache.org, so it's redirected to the legacy
Oracle web server (137.254.56.26),
https://137.254.56.26/kb/previous.html
And that returns a 404, because "netbeans.org" is a virtual host in
137.254.56.26, so it needs the "Host: netbeans.org" header.
For this to work:
a) we'll need Oracle setting up the old netbeans.org content directly on
the IP above.
or b) we'll need to correctly set up the "Host: netbeans.org" header in
the .htaccess file (it seems this is not working now). I don't now if
this is possible.
Is there anybody more experienced with the Apache web server able to
provide an alternate solution?
Otherwise we'll just proceed with changing the DNS of netbeans.org to
point to netbeans.apache.org, and we'll forget about the old server.
Thanks,
Antonio

We don't own control of netbeans.apache.org, so we have to use this
.htaccess file:

The above sounds like a plan and I think we should simply go ahead with it.
Antonio could you update INFRA-17245 and state who should do what when (I
would do this but am about to take off into a Cloud).

Hi,
I think this is perfectly possible. The plan could be:
1.- In netbeans.apache.org we add a redirection (.htaccess?) so that all
404 "not found" pages are sent to the existing Oracle hosted web server,
by IP address. Much like in the bits.netbeans.org website. This may take
one day or so.
2.- ASF Infra changes the DNS settings, making netbeans.org an alias of
netbeans.apache.org. Again this could take a few days, depending on
Infra availability.
3.- We monitor the 404 pages through the next weeks/month and see which
content is still missing in netbeans.apache.org.
4.- The existing Oracle web server is shut down after one/two months and
404 pages return a not found pages.
Thoughts on the plan?
Thanks,
Antonio
P.S.: We can also make infra change the DNS settings as in 2.- above,
without the redirection. That's faster, but content that has not been
migrated will return a 404-Not Found webpage.

Hi all,
We have this issue:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-17245
The intention has been throughout the Apache NetBeans process to redirect
from netbeans.org to netbeans.apache.org. Now that we're working on
graduating, maybe the time for actually doing this has come?
This point has come up today in the DISCUSS thread re becoming a top
level
Apache project, hence maybe the moment is right to actually do this now.
See:
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/648834cdb10ce55aff2c6c8dd3c32454a74711c6289f385e456b74d8@%3Cgeneral.incubator.apache.org%3E
Thoughts? If not now when.
