Re: Error due to the "Automatic Mirror Select" function...

This is a simple matter of no.php.net being broken. The search randomly picks a mirror in your country and sometimes it picks the broken no.php.net as opposed to the working no2.php.net Another broken mirror is us.php.net as it will do a Yahoo search nomatter what you type: us.php.net/echo -> http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=us.php.net%2fecho Regards, Philip On Sat, 24 May 2003, Arvo Huru wrote: > Updated somewhat.... > > Have spoken whit some people at #php.no on EFNet (IRC) > And they report simular problems, but there doesnt seem to be any consistansy > in where you get redirected I have this: > > www.php.net/search_this --> Google > www.php.net/preg_match --> no2.php.net (Successfull searc (correct page)) > www.php.net/strstr --> no.php.net (404 Not Found) > > Another user had this : > www.php.net/strstr --> no2.php.net (Successfull searc (correct page)) > all other /xxxxxx --> no.php.net (404 Not Found) > > > Why and how these difrences occures I don't know .... > But I hope you'll find the error whitout too much problems ... > > And again just send me an mail if anything is unclear (probably are)... > > > Sitat Gabor Hojtsy <gabor@hojtsy.hu>: > > > > When I type in the folowing as the URL in the browser: > > > "www.php.net/char" > > > I get redirected to this page: > > > > > > "http://www.google.com/search?q=char+site:no2.php.net&l=en" > > > > > > If I write ths in the URL: > > > "http://www.php.net/chart" (unknown > > > function) > > > I get a 404 Not Found Page (IE's 404 informing it cannot find the > > > page/server/or other) > > > > > > > > > If I write this in the URL: > > > "http://www.php.net/sdf" > > > I get redirected to: > > > > > > "http://www.google.com/search?q=sdf+site:no2.php.net&l=en" > > > > > > The redirection to google I think is due to the IE settings, becouse > > > I tryed the "sdf" as "search-term" and 3 times I got "404 > > > Not found" > > (IEs), > > > and the 4th time I got redirected to Google... > > > > Hm, this does not seem to be deterministic.
