Beta Site Up
by Richard Ford 16 Mar '07

16 Mar '07

G'Day All, centos-beta.candishosting.com.cn is up ready to server the isolated penguin lovers of the middle kingdom. I am doing a sync now to make sure it is all up to date (and activating RSYNC as well). Do I need to do anything else? Clear, concise, succinct answers preferred. Cheers, RF.

Question Regarding beta DNS
by Kevin M Stange 16 Mar '07

16 Mar '07

Is the DNS for the beta geographically based? I find that when I access the mirror from our own network, I seem to be directed to a random beta mirror in the US rather than our own, which is most certainly closest. -- Kevin Stange Chief Technology Officer Steadfast Networks http://www.steadfast.net kevin(a)steadfast.net Phone: 312-602-2689 ext. 203 | Fax: 312-602-2688 | Cell: 312-320-5867

geo-ip/loadbalancing causing trouble for beta.centos.org
by Jonas Anden 14 Mar '07

14 Mar '07

I've done a bit of downloading of packages using the beta.centos.org hostname yesterday, and there are some issues because of geo-ip and load balancing being used. When navigating the http://beta.centos.org/ site, some mirrors have different structure than others. Navigating the tree we sometimes get redirected out of http://beta.centos.org/centos/4.92/... and into a different structure (in the mirrorservice.org case, you'll sometimes end up on http://beta.centos.org/sites/beta.centos.org/centos/4.92...). I've noticed this with mirrorservice.org, the same may be true for other mirrors as well. Now, this would be fine if it wouldn't be that the geo-ip/loadbalancing solution in place for beta.centos.org will land me on *different* servers a little now and then. Coming from the same source IP, I'm receiving different results to lookups. This makes the downloads fail with a 404 if I land on a different server when I click on the hyperlinks... One possible solution would be to have the servers do a redirect to the real server name when contacted as beta.centos.org. That way all my subsequent navigation within the site would land on the same server (cluster). The above problem report is a bit of 'informative'; since we've now synced up a local mirror here the problem is in effect gone *for*us*. It may still be causing headaches for others, though... Since we're using centos on a number of servers here, we have a local mirror (we've only got a 2 Mbit link here and are only mirroring certain releases & architectures, so setting up a public mirror just wouldn't make sense). I've set it up to rsync from beta.centos.org for the beta release. This, too, is a bit of a headache due to load balancing... Some mirrors do not support all switches recommended for rsyncing from mirrors. Particularily, the -H switch is not supported by mirrorservice.org and the rsync bails if we try to rsync with this flag. Other sites (don't remember which one, and can't reproduce it at the moment) don't support the -z flag, but doesn't bail but just ignores the -z flag. Mirrorservice.org: Would it be possible for you to support the -H switch? Thanks for your hard work, it is really appreciated. Almost all of our servers are running CentOS in some form. // J

Permissions changed on the 4.92 directory
by Johnny Hughes 13 Mar '07

13 Mar '07

All, The permissions are now changed on the 4.92 directory to allow public access on the master mirrors. For those of you that are live, please rsync your servers to pickup the new permissions ... or change the permissions on your 4.92 directory to 775 ... on the master server it is: drwxrwxr-x 7 centos centos 4096 Mar 11 02:29 4.92 Also .. seems some of you only have 4.92 tree ... BUT ... since you are all now part of beta.centos.org, you need the older trees too. (I have no mechanism to split directories out, so to be beta.centos.org, you do need them all ... 4.1beta, 4.2beta, 4.3beta and 4.92/5) Thanks, Johnny Hughes Thanks, Johnny Hughes
