This plugin uses a txt life wich is being read, I think this plugin is only usefull if u use multiple local servers.

Why not put these info in a db, and let users login on that server so this plugin would be usefull for multiple servers.

The ZeroSwitch plugin uses a db connection wich can be accessed from a remote server ( other location ).

It would be great if this plugin is aseable over remote servers.

Thanks for ya plugin ....

Cheers

now there are at least 3 published serverswitches and some non published like the one i use.

about the remote connection to db, personally i dont like to open the remote mysql connection. and usually all servers are at the same machine i think...

Thank you for the plugin.

I'm running your plugin on 5 servers with xaseco 1.10.

No problems at the moment.

Within a a certain clan there are various people who host a tm server who would be able to use this kind of plugins, so thay can combine the servers for various reasons.

U could use a public mysql database, and let the servers logon to that source. Or setup 1 server wich is providing the database.

My advise is use a public mysql database wich is hosted by a provider or... if someone is rebooting a personal pc i have no idea what the plugin is going to do on the other machines. In worst case the other servers are crashing.

That's true, sorry I forgot to tell.

Why not put these info in a db, and let users login on that server so this plugin would be usefull for multiple servers.

The problem is that each xaseco installation needs an own database, so you can't merge the table for all installations of xaseco into one database (different connections). Then you need to setup a extra database for the server neighborhood plugin and of course you have an additional (mostly remote) db-connection, which slows down the speed.

It would be great if this plugin is aseable over remote servers.

I think about that and maybe I would integrate that feature later.

Sure. I think the assortment is good for all. Nobody must use my Plugin.

I think the style of mine is more compatible with the style of the Fufi.Widgets (only my opinion).

[whazzaa]

I have used tools like webdrive to make this tool accessible from other stand alone servers but alway's had problems with timeout settings.

If this plugin is going to be combined with a database i personaly think it's going to be great

Zeroswitch is build on database connections why not combine best of both worlds

Hi,
the plugin doesn´t work with TM Dedicated Server (2009-10-09) & Xaseco 1.10
neighboring servers are not shown. On this settings "<show_self>True</show_self>" the plugin shows only the current server.

The Dedicated Server/2009-10-09 and xaseco/1.10 I´am currently running too and the Plugin works very well.

Did you run your Dedicated Server under Linux? The directory you have typed in <storing_path> need to be chmod 770 (or 777). Did you chmod'ed them?

Please post the parts <storing_path> and <server_accounts> of your serverneighborhood.xml here or PM me with that.

The server run under Linux (Debian 4 Etch) "<storing_path>/tmp/tm-server-neighbors/</storing_path>" has chmod 770.

Code: Select all

		<!-- Path to txt files for read and write (must set to CHMOD 770 under UN!X/Linux) -->

	<!-- Serverlogin where this plugin runs (used to writing the txt file) -->

Can you create a file into that directory as that user under that the server runs? If not try chmod 777 and report here please.

Did your /tmp looks like:

Code: Select all

drwxrwxrwt  9 root  root  12288 Nov  4 21:00 tmp

Is the directory /tmp/tm-server-neighbors/ empty or are there the following files?

Code: Select all

kdwnfun_serverinfo.txt
kdwnmini_serverinfo.txt

Please make a

Code: Select all

ls -la /tmp/tm-server-switch/

and post it here.

Did you install this plugin on all servers? Or is this server the first you try to install?
