#24232 [Opn->Bgs]: php.net/query redirects still hit google (see bug 23652)

ID: 24232 Updated by: goba@php.net Reported By: lmulcahy at pacbrands dot com dot au -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Website problem Operating System: XP PHP Version: 4.3.2 New Comment: au3.php.net is not listed as an official mirror, therefore you won't get redirected there when using php.net/function_name. We are waiting for the maintainer to solve the problem. All the other mirrors redirect you to a search page for mirrorname.php.net/blahblah, as it used to be. The only change is that the search page is not served from php.net, but from google. If an exact function or file or other shortcut is not found, a website search is issued. See http://php.net/urlhowto for explanation on what you can access with URL shortcuts, and how is the fallback mechnanism programmed BTW, we have received many complaints about the google search issue, and from the first moment it was turned on, we were working on an alternative search solution using mnogosearch. We just need more time to come up with a good search engine for the php.net sites. We think redirecting to Google is better than printing out a not found page.

I know you aren't responsible for au3 steve, but, au3.php.net/manual is still an apache manual.

To be honest I can't replicate it from my desktop, but I will try it from offsite later today. If someone could test the behavior and email me with what happens I'm happy to follow up and sort it out asap. regards, Steve Kelly Technical Manager Ilisys Web Hosting Pty Ltd 1800 999 618 steve@ilisys.com.au ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-17 21:04:02] lmulcahy at pacbrands dot com dot au au3.php.net/manual/ is an apache manual. (php.ausgamers.com?) au2.php.net/manual/ redirects you to http://www.php.ilisys.com.au/manual/ (www.php.ilisys.com.au?) au.php.net/manual .. still server down or unresponsive (karl.planetmirror.com?) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-17 20:58:16] lmulcahy at pacbrands dot com dot au Could be similar to Bug #23797 .. au.php.net (karl.planetmirror.com) is being unresponsive or is down so I can't check if the /manual issue is affecting it.
