Apache, Typo, and Feedburner 5
A few weeks ago, I started using FeedBurner and posted a blog entry about how I configured Lighttpd to handle that so it didn’t disrupt everyone that subscribes to my RSS feed. This was working great… until the other day.. when I upgraded to Typo trunk. When I did this, I decided to start using mongrel::cluster and pound. Two days later… I’m noticing that my subscriber count has dropped over thousand people in a day… was it something that I said?
A ha! I was handling the redirect with Lighttpd and had replaced it with Pound.
So, I am now delegating this to Apache.
# Redirect typo feeds to FeedBurner
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !^FeedBurner.*$
RewriteRule /xml/(atom|rss|rss20)/feed.xml$ http://feeds.feedburner.com/RobbyOnRails [R=temp,L]...and all was well again.
UPDATE
The rewrite condition should be !^FeedBurner.*$ not !^FeedBurner$.
Enjoying the content? Be sure to subscribe to my RSS feed.
I restarted Apache, Mongrel and also cleared the cache in Typo, but it still gives me the original Typo feed URL, not the FeedBurner one. What am I missing?
I fixed the problem. The scapegoat was the ordering of the rewrite rules…
Thanks man, your update about !^FeedBurner.*$ save my time! ;-)
Thanks for the tip. :-)
not working for me :( i am using mod rewrite on that site, could that be an issue?
