Set up redirect webserver for toolserver.org
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The webserver should listen on http and https for the host names:

  • www.toolserver.org
  • toolserver.org
  • stable.toolserver.org
  • ortelius.toolserver.org
  • wolfsbane.toolserver.org

Default redirect should be [[meta:Toolserver]] where information on what Toolserver was, Labs is and where stuff moved (or a shrine :-)) may be set up.

I had thought about setting this up in Tools itself, but WMF already has infrastructure in place for redirects and inter alia certificate handling will be much easier the standard way(TM).

Change 151523 abandoned by Tim Landscheidt:
Set up redirects for toolserver.org

Reason:
The reason why to set this up on the existing redirect server was simply because otherwise someone would have to duplicate all those bits somewhere else and maintain them for eternity^Wa few years more there as well. But indeed this changeset has a lot of -1/-2s, and I don't have any energy to investigate why this or that redirect belongs on this server and not that.

@scfc: As you removed the Wikimedia-Apache-configuration project, which area is this task in?

Hi Coren and all, could we please get a status update? This needs to be done. Now.

*.toolserver.org are all sent to the same place, though it has a landing page by default with a brief explanation and links to documentation rather than automatically redirect (except for existing redirects of tools that send to the new place).

@scfc: As you removed the Wikimedia-Apache-configuration project, which area is this task in?

Apache configuration has been moved from the separate Apache-config repository to the mediawiki module in puppet. So i guess it's now a Mediawiki config issue (in a weird way).
