RE: PHP Mirror Status Info.

Hi Roland, yesterday we released version 4.2 (in tar.gz, zip, etc) ... that was alot to be sending down the wire, so rsync was very slow. It should return to normal in a few days. james -----Original Message----- From: Roland Guthauser [mailto:roland.guthauser@lie-comtel.li] Sent: Tuesday, April 23, 2002 10:36 AM To: 'mirrors@php.net' Subject: AW: PHP Mirror Status Info. Hi there > No response was returned from these following hosts: > hk.php.net, hk2.php.net, lv2.php.net, mx2.php.net, no.php.net, > ph.php.net, pt2.php.net, sk.php.net, za2.php.net, tr2.php.net, > us4.php.net, li.php.net, cn2.php.net. li.php.net was down for several weeks because rsync has deleted the web :-( anyway I have setup a newer version of rsync and now I seems to run normal. But rsync.php.net is so slooooooooooooooooow - I don't know if this a european problem, rsync died about every 30 minutes and the speed was very very slow. If someone whant's to install a new mirror he has to spend hours to do that. I know some time ago there was a discussion to install a second rsync server perhaps in Europe. I don't thin that this would be the right solution, but could it be possible to have a .tar.gz File generated every 2 weeks. This file is then stored in 3 or 4 locations around the world. When someone is setting up a new mirror, he can download the file and only the updated files has to be received by rsync. The second problem I have is with the .htaccess in the root directory. When I rename this file to something else the web is working, as soon the .htaccess is there the web doesn't run anymore! any hints? greetings from Liechtenstein Roland -- Roland Guthauser, System Engineer ISP Lie-Comtel AG, Industriestrasse 22, FL-9487 Bendern Phone: +423-370'19'45 Fax: +423-370'19'47 Mail: roland.guthauser@lie-comtel.li WWW: http://www.lie-comtel.li
