Hello all,
What I figured is that from the Google search tool the URL
forum.openoffice.org is not reachable.
So I checked with Duckduckgo (my prefered Search engine), they don't use
crawler and point at the infra of Google, Bing and Yandex.
I checked then with Bing, but could not figure out to check bots
feedback on an URL so I moved on
I checked with Yandex. They have a search URL test page. I have entered
there forum.openoffice.org
The Response is:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Date: Tue, 12 May 2020 10:37:47 GMT
* Server: Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu)
* Location: https://forum.openoffice.org/
* Content-Length: 237
* Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=100
* Connection: Keep-Alive
* Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
------------------------------------------------------------------------
HTTP status code 301 Moved Permanently
Server response time 133 ms
IP address 54.84.201.130
Encoding UTF-8(unicode-1-1-utf-8, UTF8)
Page size 237 B
I am not sure, what that means. HTTP Status Code moved Permanently reads
wrong. I just dont know if this is the return code from our webservcer
or a response code from the crawler.
I try to get someone from Infra. Or I'll open a ticket.
All the best

Hi Peter...
Since I am a Google Search admin for www.openoffice.org, and
openoffice.apache.org, I got this also. Disclaimer: I have not done
ANY work with the Google Search apis on these sites in quite some time.
I actually was NOT aware forum.openoffice.org was set up to use Google
Search until I saw this.
I think, I added it to the list when we had a discussion about outdated
information regarding SourceForge found by Google Search.
But I don't have access to forum.openoffice.org, so I could never
complete the step.

OK. In the top level of the website source, there is a file called
"skeleton.html" which references the following bit of code --
<!--#include virtual="/scripts/google-analytics.js" -->
I didn't dig far enough to find how "skeleton.html" is used ( I
forgot) but this this is example for the google-analytics code snippet
that is used. Basically, this needs to be included in the site you
want analytics to be used on by putting it in the (header) files that
generate the site. And, you might take a look at recent instructions
from Google. Things change.

Yes, but this is for Google Analytics. I wouldn't want to "analyze" the
forum...
The procedure for the Google Search Console is the same, it needs access
to the root directory.
Maybe Andrea can help if he is available again?

One of the Google Search admins for forum.openoffice.org could check
the current Google search apis that are in use on that site. Changes
are occasionally made to the calls, and maybe that is the issue, or a
robots.txt for that site is causing this. I don't think it requires a
response, but maybe some investigation.
Just some ideas...
Regards,
Kay

Hi all,
I have received following mail. Probably because I am listed in the
google-Analytics page.
Does this has some action items? What can we answer Mr John Mueller?
All the Best

Betreff: Critical issue on forum.openoffice.org and Google Search
Datum: Mon, 11 May 2020 13:37:27 +0200

Dear webmaster of forum.openoffice.org <http://forum.openoffice.org>
I'm an analyst at Google in Switzerland. We wanted to bring your
attention to a critical issue with your website, and how it's
available for Google's web search.
In particular, Googlebot has been unable to crawl URLs from
https://forum.openoffice.org/ . This will cause those pages to drop
out of Google's search results, and will prevent new pages from being
picked up for Search. If you're not aware of this issue, you may be
accidentally blocking these pages from Google Search due to a server
issue. If you need to block Googlebot from crawling pages on your
website, we'd recommend using the robots.txt file instead.
Should you need to recognize IP addresses of Googlebot requests, you
can use a reverse IP lookup to do so:
https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/80553
Should you have any questions, feel free to contact me directly. For
verification purposes, we are sending a copy of this message to your
site's Search Console account.
Thank you,
John Mueller (joh...@google.com <mailto:joh...@google.com>)
Webmaster Trends Analyst
