References to http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/cgi-bin/ should be redirected to their new and permanent home at /knb/cgi-bin/. This should be easy as the following rewrite rule:

RewriteRule ^/cgi-bin/(.*) http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/knb/cgi-bin/$1 [L,R=301]

Test this on dev, and pending no unforeseen consequences deploy to KNB.

This type of a redirect will simply shield the actual URI problem in the source. Can't we find these problems and fix them? If we don't, then people at other sites that install it will likely run into problems when the URLs don't work for them without the redirects.

The URLs in the pages themselves (e.g. the 'Registry' link from the NCEAS skin) will work fine, only preexisting references are affected. This has been tested and works fine on dev, the following lines were added:

RewriteEngine On RewriteLog "/var/log/httpd/rewrite_log" RewriteLogLevel 5 RewriteRule ^/cgi-bin/(.*) http://dev.nceas.ucsb.edu/knb/cgi-bin/$1 [L,R=301]

Additionally, the ScriptAlias and blocks for the old /cgi-bin/ reference were removed.
