Re: bg.php.net mirror site deactivated

Dear colleagues,

Our automatic mirror site check was unable to reach the PHP.net mirror site maintained by you for three or more days now, or have found a critical error in your mirror setup. Therefore our bot automatically disabled your listing as an official PHP.net mirror site.

bg.php.net is up and runnig, I am a little confused about this email message. The server is accessible via HTTP. The server status http://bg.php.net/mirror.php shows: The site was last updated at Mon Sep 8 05:09:33 2003 EEST At the same time, www.php.net says it was last updated at Mon Sep 8 05:09:33 2003 EEST, i.e our mirror seems to be in sync. I am not aware how the automatic check is performed. Some days ago we introduced filters which severely restrict the ICMP "echo request" messages (i.e. pings) due to a virus (Welchia worm) which generates huge traffic. If you need to be able to ping the mirror server, please advise an appropriate IP address (or address range) and pings will be permitted. If there is any other reason for deactivation of our mirror, please, advise. Best regards, Assen Totin Development Manager
