Bug#90458: this is merely due to Apache misconfiguration



retitle 90458 some web mirrors' Apaches default to unconfigured zh-HK when given Accept-Language they can't serve
reassign 90458 mirrors
severity 90458 important
thanks

I've checked several mirrors with lynx with bg,mk as the preferred language:

  * www.debian.org: English
  * www.de.debian.org: Chinese zh-HK
  * www.uk.debian.org: Chinese zh-HK
  * www.fr.debian.org: Chinese, plus it offered me a cookie?!
  * www.dk.debian.org: Chinese zh-HK
  * www.za.debian.org: Chinese zh-HK
  * www.ru.debian.org: Russian
  * www.es.debian.org: Spanish

This is most problably due to the fact that we don't have zh-hk mentioned on
the web pages for the web mirrors, d'oh! Which is probably because the
change was made in /etc/apache/srm.conf and not
/org/www.debian.org/apache.conf, so I haven't noticed it <grumble>

We probably need to inspect the apache config files on klecker, get them in
shape (i.e. put the settings specific to www.d.o in the small config file,
not srm.conf), and then put the new settings in /mirror/webmirror After
that, the boring job of asking mirror maintainers to update their configs.

Someone should probably file a bug against Apache for acting like this, too.
