TriRan Posted October 5, 2011 CID Share Posted October 5, 2011 when you finish a test from the DC server and hit retest it retests but on the dallas server. i doubt this is a bug or anything it's probably just not setup to be dynamic and i got a couple server 500 errors when doing tests and hitting stop test halfway through which i couldn't reproduce but i'm sure you will have logs of them somewheres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasrelee Posted October 5, 2011 CID Share Posted October 5, 2011 Ditto on the DC server's re-test option - it initiates tests back on the Dallas server. It seems to be how the linking is coded. Everything is set to: testmy.net/{whatever} After evaluating the scope/purpose of the links, it would be assumed that not all links need to be "mirrored" - examples: /Home - If you type testmy.net, you are going to hit testmy.net just like "www.testmy.net" will hit testmy.net - don't you love how the Internet works? - Once seasoned visitors know their preferred server, they can simply enter/bookmark a link to {MIRROR}.testmy.net /Forum - I would assume one would want this on the main server, or at least all in one place - in the future...possibly backing up to the other servers as a means of fallback should the original host go down. --- As for the other main links and dynamic links, like "Re-Test (same size)", they need to reflect: {MIRROR}.testmy.net I'm tickled with the shape it is in now though - A. It works, B. So far, manually entering dc.testmy.net/{whatever} does not kill anyone I hope the changes aren't a headache and look forward to the expansion of testmy.net with additional test mirror locations.

CA3LE Posted October 5, 2011 CID Share Posted October 5, 2011 Thanks for letting me know. It was actually correct... I just hadn't synced it with the dc server. I'm going to have to setup rsync to make sure the servers are synced. You should be all good now. Basically how I have it setup is the SUBmenu will give you links to dc.testmy.net -- the main menu (dark gray) escapes to the main server. You guys will get it. I try to design things to the point that it's self explanatory... but it's hard because as a designer you have to design things for people that don't always think the same way as you. Let me know if you spot anything else... I'm pretty confident that I squashed this one though, funny thing is... I already had done that, I just only uploaded it to one server......... the server that doesn't even need those variables. (lol, look at my max speed right now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA3LE Posted October 5, 2011 CID Share Posted October 5, 2011 haha thats what i thought, and yeah i do too i was gonna ask you what kind of a deal you worked with cox to get uncapped I played with uncapping in the late 90's and early 00's.. via TFTP crap, old school. But I haven't wanted to do that for years, I don't want to get caught and banned... I have a business to run and I need the fastest internet. In Phoenix Cox is hands down the best. ... it was fun to trick the system though. I was doing it back then to uncap the lame ass 128 Kbps upload... BOOM, symmetrical 3Mbps! -- sounds so slow these days. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
