Nick Kwiatkowski commented on FLEX-33149:
-----------------------------------------
Steps that we had to follow to get this working (besides behind the scenes work
to fix our webspace that Infrastructure helped with):
1. Created new .cgi file with the following contents :
#!/bin/sh
# Wrapper around the standard mirrors.cgi script
exec /www/www.apache.org/dyn/mirrors/mirrors.cgi $*
2. Created a new .chtml file with the [preferred] tag. [preferred] will be
replaced with the site mirror base URL. Make sure the .chtml file is named
the same as the .cgi
3. Update the .htacces (or create one), to make sure to include ExecCGI
permissions in that directory.
4. Update the SVN properties of the .cgi file to include :
svn:eol-style = native
svn:executable = *
5. Commit to SVN. CGI script will not have execute permissions on the staging
server.
6. Commit to production via the CMS. Make sure to to a refresh on the CMS
before refreshing. You should see the CGI and the CHTML in the DIFF.

> Key: FLEX-33149
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33149
> Project: Apache Flex
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Reporter: OmPrakash Muppirala
> Assignee: Bertrand Delacretaz
> Priority: Critical
>
> Erik de Bruin's proposal:
> 1. Create 'single-mirror-url.cgi' in the root of the site (i.e.
> http://incubator.apache.org/flex/single-mirror-url.cgi) with these three
> lines:
>
> #!/bin/sh
> # Wrapper around the standard mirrors.cgi script
> exec /www/www.apache.org/dyn/mirrors/mirrors.cgi $*
> 2. Create 'single-mirror-url.html' (.mdtext?) next to the .cgi from step 1.,
> with only this line:
>
> [preferred]
>
> 3. Set CGI script permissions to executable:
>
> % chmod a+x single-mirror-url.cgi
> 4. In 'ApacheFlexConfig.xml', change the 'path' attribute of the
> 'ApacheFlexSDK' node to "/incubator/flex/4.8.0-incubating/binaries/" and the
> 'file' attribute to "apache-flex-sdk-4.8.0-incubating-bin.zip". Note: the
> application (when patched) will take care of the addition of the mirror
> domain to complete the URL.
> 5. Apply patches to InstallApacheFlex source:
> InstallApacheFlex.txt for InstallApacheFlex.mxml
> ViewResourceConstants.txt for ViewResourceConstants.as
> RuntimeLocale.txt for RuntimeLocale.as
> HTH and that I understood the rules and regulations for patching, commenting
> etc. correctly (if not, please tell me and I'll behave better next time).
