Fix 5xx server validation errors in Google Search Console for Gatsby

January 31, 2019   ·   2 min read  ·   Edit on GitHub

Today I woke up to a new email sitting in my inbox saying “New Coverage issue detected for site http://markshust.com/:

Coverage email

Clicking the “Fix Coverage Issues” button, I was sent into Google Search Console (you are using Google Search Console, right? It tells you all sorts of good and bad things happening with your web site). I then noticed that the comment and newsletter URLs from my old Drupal blog were being returned as 404/500 server errors:

Console errors

The easiest solution would be to just add some lines to a netlify.toml file. This file controls all sorts of server settings and configurations you would typically see in a server configuration file. I find it much more flexible than using a _redirects file.

I had a few entries there, so just added a few more.

netlify.toml
[[redirects]]
  from = "/blogs/markoshust"
  to = "/"
  status = 301
  force = true
[[redirects]]  from = "/comment/*"  to = "/"  status = 301  force = true[[redirects]]  from = "/newsletter/subscribe-marks-newsletter"  to = "/"  status = 301  force = true[[redirects]]
  from = "https://markshust-com.netlify.com/*"
  to = "https://markshust.com/:splat"
  status = 301
  force = true
[[redirects]]
  from = "https://markshust-com.netlify.com/"
  to = "https://markshust.com/"
  status = 301
  force = true

After pushing up and deploying, I just clicked the Validation Fixed button in Google Search Console, and now the validation errors will correct themself on the next batch check.
