build set_fastest => all servers are dead

[zEitEr]

Hello,

I've just noticed new feature in custombuild:

./build set_fastest


# ./build set_fastest
File already exists: servers.txt
MD5 Checksum on servers.txt passed.
Testing with file 10.kb:
files.directadmin.com is dead
files2.directadmin.com is dead
files5.directadmin.com is dead
files6.directadmin.com is dead
Total test duration: 4 seconds

Testing with file 100.kb:
files.directadmin.com is dead
files2.directadmin.com is dead
files5.directadmin.com is dead
files6.directadmin.com is dead
Total test duration: 5 seconds

Fastest server is at 0 B/s
Unable to determine fastest server



Please consider to change into LANG=C in order to change national locales for testing.

I dunno why someone would ever code it to require the bc command.

Tons of if statements are also missing quotes.

[DirectAdmin Support]

Hello,

I've updated the code to use perl, as it's got a much higher likelyhood of existing over bc.

Hello John,

OK, can't wait to test it. It's not published yet?

Alex.

It's on files.directadmin.com. If you used the "old" verison, you might have a faster "filesX.directadmin.com" setting, which would be a different box, and takes about a day to get the new rsync.

If you want it now, set:
downloadserver=files.directadmin.comin your options.conf, and do a ./build update.

Keep in mind that if you run the command, and it uses a different server, then if you do another ./build update, you'll be getting the old build again. This "window" should only last about 1/2 a day, at which point, the files mirrors will also get the updated build, then it won't matter.

Hi John,

ive edited the option file as described:


>cat options.conf | grep downloadserver
downloadserver=files.directadmin.com

But after build update the result seems to be the same (removed server.txt file aswell)

Any idea?

Does that mean, we should use it in command line? And run like this:


LANG=C ./build set_fastest

?

[localhost]

Works OK for me.
files6.directadmin.com :)

[zEitEr]

What locale are you using?


[root@vps1 custombuild]# env | grep LANG
LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8
[root@vps1 custombuild]#

If I use en_EN.UTF-8 or C, that's ok for me too. But some servers are localized.

[SeLLeRoNe]

this worked now for me

>env | grep LANG
LANG=it_IT.UTF-8

[DirectAdmin Support]

Hello,

I don't mind adding LANG=C into the code if it's needed, but can someone explain how exactly this affects the wget or perl calls? I'm not clear on why it's needed. (localized servers?)

John

[zEitEr]

Hello John,

on localized servers, this code:


speedtest()
{
${WGET} -O /dev/null --timeout=1 --tries=1 http://${1}/services/${2} 2>&1 | grep saved | cut -d\( -f2 | cut -d\) -f1
}

fails (grep returns nothing), because saved is never present in wget's output, it's substituted with a translated word. Something like this attached.

Regards,
Alex.

[DirectAdmin Support]

Thanks for the clarification.
I've updated the code to have a global LANG=C

John

[zEitEr]

Thanks John,

I'm sorry I was not enough clear from the beginning of the topic.

Alex.

[SeLLeRoNe]

Thanks for the update.

Now work perfectly!

[interfasys]

Well done zEitEr :)
