InstallApacheFlex - single-mirror-url.cgi
(Trying to resolve this here before I go bother infra folks)
Erik and others,
The page http://incubator.apache.org/flex/single-mirror-url.cgi and is
live and working, but it is showing up inside the standard template of the
standard page. What do I need to do to make it work as a standalone page -
which returns just the preferred url?
http://incubator.apache.org/flex/single-mirror-url.html is there as well,
but is showing only the word [preferred]. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Om

I've got a lot further today... The CGI is at least now showing up in the
right place, and executing -- just with a 500 error :)
http://flex.staging.apache.org/cgi-bin/single-mirror-url.cgi
I'm working to get ahold of the logs to see why we are getting the 500. We
are getting a lot closer now :)

Looks good I get "http://mirror.overthewire.com.au/pub/apache/" from Sydney Australia that's 8 hops and 30ms away :-)

Where would be the best place to document what we had to do? There were
some server misconfigurations that had to be taken care of by the infra
people. Once those were taken care of, it was a matter of writing the
wrapper (two line script for apache's mirror.cgi), write the new .htaccess
file, and set the execute permissions in SVN.

Nick, this is fantastic! Thanks for getting it done. We should be good
with the mirror urls now.
I will push a new build of the InstallApacheFlex app this weekend.
It would be great if you could document what all you had to do to get this
done. Would be good for us for something like this in the future. And I
am pretty sure that other Apache projects could use something like this as
well.

Like the chtml and view/path.pm change.
In templates/no_template.html you should switch from "content|markdown" to "content|safe". That will definitely not change the *.chtml file.

done.
I worked with infra until about 2am, and they ran across some weird perl
errors that were being generated for our list of mirrors, but it is fixed
now.
http://incubator.apache.org/flex/single-mirror-url.cgi
It should just be spitting out the base URL for the mirror now. That
should include the http, but not the directory.

The current binaries are read into the application from the
ApacheFlexConfig.xml (which holds more info besides the binaries
location, so would still be needed). All we need from the CGI is the
'base' URL of the mirror.

Re: InstallApacheFlex - single-mirror-url.cgi
Posted by Nicholas Kwiatkowski <ni...@spoon.as>.
Just a heads up -- I got the new CGI in place, and setup a new template in
the CMS (.chtml). Anything published with a .chtml extension will not get
a template applied to it. The theory is that we should be able to simply
parse the http://flex.staging.apache.org/flex/single-mirror-url.cgi page
to get the proper URL (we would update the single-mirror-url.chtml page
with the current binaries). In order to do this, I had to modify the
/trunk/lib/path.pm and the /trunk/templates/no-template.html pages to parse
.chtml pages.
The only issue I'm running into now is that the actual CGI script does not
have execute permissions. I'm working on that right now (if anybody wants
to join us on IRC to chat about it)

Erik, now that the html parsing code is not needed, I think we are not in a
hurry to merge this patch. So no need to separate the patches. I will try
my best to review the patch this weekend, though.
For future reference, it would make the committers' life so much easier if
each patch addressed a single problem or bug. Or at least, the patch
description should have all the details of what is exactly is in it.

Well, no, I'm afraid. This is the whole point of my 'crossing patches'
argument. The new HTML parsing code is embedded in the code that I've
refactored to accomodate the new localisation handling. Is there any
way I can get (temporary) write privileges on (our section of) the

Ah, I see. But your description has no mention of the html parsing.
If you don't mind, can you extract that piece alone into a separate patch?
I don't have the bandwidth at the moment to work on the locale refactoring
part. I promise to do it very soon though.

The last patch I see is:
InstallApacheFlex_Patch_FLEX-33149_FLEX-33150_2012-08-03.txt
Is this the one you are talking about? I dint see any code for parsing the
HTML in there.

Nick mentioned that he will work on it today. I will wait for a day or so
before starting to bug infra.
In my mind: Single-mirror-url solution > HTML parsing solution > GeoIP
solution
In my testing the GeoIP provider sometimes cannot resolve the country code
and just fails. The HTML parsing solution, even though kludgy, will always
work.

I've added code to parse the HTML to my most recent patch. The 'single
word' HTML output is probably easier to parse than the 'raw' output of
"mirror.cgi", as the URL we're looking for is the only text inside of
a DIV with the id "content"...
Maybe we should ask infra politely if there is a solution that
prevents the 'frame' HTML from being automatically added, and if not,
we should think about if we want the GeoIP solution or the HTML
parsing solution.

Yes, I see that the html file I added with just " [preferred] " in it has

If you look at the page:
http://incubator.apache.org/flex/single-mirror-url.cgi, we do get the
single preferred mirror url in the content section. It looks like the cgi
is running fine inside of /flex/content/ itself.
When I put the single-mirror-url.cgi and single-mirror-url.html files
inside of the cgi-bin folder, it caused build errors. I might have done
something wrong as well.

I would like to shadow you when you do these things. It will be good for
me to learn how these things work.

Om,
I was working on this early last week (sorry I haven't touched it in the
last week -- I've had a few personal things I had to take care of this
week), and I was getting the same thing. It has something to do with the
way the CMS is transferring the content to the production server.
I do know that the CGI has to be in the CGI folder, and given run
permissions. I'm assuming infra does this for us (the permissions part),
but I'm not sure. I hopefully will be able to dive into it again tomorrow.

I don't see anything at that URL... I get a 404 (Not Found) message.
