Type: Bug Report
Resolution: Fixed
Priority: L3 - Default
Fix Version/s: 7.16.0, 7.16.0-alpha2
Affects Version/s: None
Component/s: documentation
Labels:
None

Environment (Required on creation):

Docs

Description (Required on creation; please attach any relevant screenshots, stacktraces, log files, etc. to the ticket):

For the old CMMN links we have infinite redirects to themselves; the brother puts a stop to it after ~20 redirects
Google reports this as a problem for search and it might hurt our Google score

Steps to reproduce (Required on creation):

Navigate to https://docs.camunda.org/get-started/cmmn11/

Observed Behavior (Required on creation):

Status code 307: Temporary Redirect
Header Location: https://docs.camunda.org/get-started/cmmn11/

Expected behavior (Required on creation):

The page does not redirect redirect to itself, instead it either returns a 404, redirects to https://docs.camunda.org/get-started/ or https://docs.camunda.org/manual/latest/reference/cmmn11/

Root Cause (Required on prioritization):

Probably introduced with ~~CAM-13253~~
The infinite redirect is caused by the redirects for old cmmn versions, implemented in https://github.com/camunda/camunda-docs-static/blob/d497e7f86954f2d1d32e0624a1dd5b4115c0b6fc/config/live/.htaccess#L109-L111. They redirect to /get-started/cmmn11, however, with the absence of the cmmn11 directory the rule applies to its own redirect again

Solution Ideas (Optional):

Check the Apache redirects in docs-static

Hints (Optional):
