Now on Mephisto

October 13th, 2007

Well, after a long time, I finally made the plunge. This blog is now running on Mephisto. The upgrade went rather smoothly (from Typo), following the instructions on Converting Typo to Mephisto.

Mephisto handles most redirects itself, so here’s my redirection section in config/environment.rb:

1
2
3

Mephisto::Routing.redirect  "articles/?/?/?/?" => "$1/$2/$3/$4",
                            "articles/tag/?" => "tags/$1",
                            "articles/category/?" => "tags/$1"

I had to use Apache RewriteRule to take care of Typo’s feeds:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8

# Stick this in your .htaccess file

# Allow FeedBurner to index the site, but redirect everyone else to FeedBurder
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !FeedBurner
RewriteRule ^/feed.* http://feeds.feedburner.com/teksol [R=301,L]

# Redirect old feed URLs to FeedBurner
RewriteRule ^/xml.* http://feeds.feedburner.com/teksol [R=301,L]

And I finally changed my blog’s feed to FeedBurder. Subscribe to the new URL: http://feeds.feedburner.com/teksol. I configured Apache to take care of it automatically, so you shouldn’t have to do anything to get your news reader to switch.

If you’re wondering, the theme is a slightly modified TerraFirma. View the theme at the Mephisto Themes Gallery.

With this change, I will also post more regularly, as my Typo installation was pretty unstable.

See ya !
