I bring glad tidings. The correct redirection of
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=NNNNNN is https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=NNNNNN (note that there are now IDs that have anywhere from 1 to 6 digits in their numbers). I just tried it with <https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=118518> For the staging site, what needs to be rewritten is http://ooo-site.apache.org/qa/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=NNNNNN I don't know what to do about the general redirection of *.openoffice.org/issues/ and whether it can be preserved on the staging site with a single rewrite or not. Could it be that these can all be caught at the main issues URL on openoffice.org? - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Kay Schenk [mailto:kay.sch...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, November 04, 2011 15:45 To: ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org; dennis.hamil...@acm.org Subject: Re: URL redirection lost On Fri, Nov 4, 2011 at 3:29 PM, Dennis E.

The problem, as it is -- is that a) someone with access to the old qa site needs to put the "issues" directory back in, and b) rewrite the old show_bug.cgi to use apache bugzilla instead. So it is both a web and cgi programming problem at this point. I could take care of both of these things if I had access -- well I have NO idea what was in show_bug.cgi however, and that might come in handy.
