Re: nl2.php.net Questions

| At the time you tested the search function at nl2.php.net htdig had | overwritten and destroyed its search database. Standard it unfortunately | doesn't have the function to update the files and to leave the current | database as is. So I now sometimes update the mirror search database by | hand at night so it couldn't destroy the current database, because I put | that one aside at that time. Well, something like this is happening on the php.net site now... | Coul d you test our local search support now? If I remove the htdig/ | directory with the two star images they won't display any more. So I | leave it standing there to show up the stars from the htdig/ directory | because they wouldn't be loaded from the gifs/ directory otherwise. Can | you please check this out? Checked. It works all right ;) But the stars should work without the htdig directory. The maintainer of ch.php.net can probably help you in this. prochat@lbdsun.epfl.ch | I removed the FAQ.php and tut.php redirect scripts now. And it works | automaticly now, great!! I'm almost certain it was the language setting | you changed from English to Dutch that did the trick. Unfortunately this | doesn't work right for unofficial mirrors by default. Something you have to | work on I think. Otherwise they need to make a redirect script theirself | to make in work, as I did in the past. It should work for unofficial mirrors too. Unofficial mirrors automatically have the "en" default language, and all operations are done using that language. Some code in /include/site.inc is used for that... | Another question, why doesn't the download window popup automaticly and | start downloading from the mirror the visitor is visiting? Now you have | to scroll down to the country where you live in to download it there... | And If you don't like it to start automaticly than it's probably nicer | to make the: | | php-4.3.0.tar.bz2 | 3,680,957 bytes | | Clickable as a link to the download location of the mirror the visitor | is currently using. The whole point in having that page is to try to move downloads to local mirrors, instead of downloading from the mirror they are using (which is sadly www.php.net most of the time). Maybe it is workable to add that link if it is not the main site... | And I would love to speed up the search process for our mirror which can be | done if I exclude the print manuals you said. Can you tell me exact in which | file(s) I have to make what kind of changes? Actually I also got some advice from the ch.php.net maintainer mentioned above. He excludes all manuals from the index process, which are not heavily used on the mirror site. He also excludes /cal.php. And I have just added a recommendation to exclude /manual/howto (becuase it is not for PHP users, but for manual authors). | Because the search process now | takes five times longer than on php.net because we get five times more | results as you can see. What and how can I do something about this? Is | it possible to let your systems person mail me their configuration so | I can see the differences? You need to ask that yourself from systems@php.net. But as it seems, reindexing is just going on at php.net, so it will be slower probably with the new updated (and probably bigger) index. Goba
