Description Arrigo Marchiori 2021-01-01 16:48:47 UTC
URL http://blog.openoffice.org is redirected to http://www.openoffice.org/projects/blog/ , that gives error 404.

The destination URL should rather be http://blogs.apache.org/ooo/

Confirmed!

I think this is defined in the server configuration.

@Dave: Something for you?

rigio; where did you get the original  url from. Was it from one of the websites or was it from the wiki?
Comment 3 Matthias Seidel 2021-01-01 23:15:05 UTC
We can always set up a redirection page similar to:

https://extension.openoffice.org/

Or do a direct redirection.
Comment 4 Dave Fisher 2021-01-01 23:21:01 UTC
This has to do with how the dns for openoffice.org is redirected in the Apache TLP servers.

I recommended creating an index page at /projects/blog/index.html and having that redirect to blogs.apache.org/ooo

I just typed it in, because I was too lazy to Google it and it seemed the most intuitive URL for the OpenOffice blog :-)
Comment 6 Matthias Seidel 2021-01-07 14:15:33 UTC
I just added a page with manual redirection:

https://github.com/apache/openoffice-org/commit/795ecbf8ea9ed927513a7a50ce2b3963be07b9fc

Feel free to enhance.
