New Mirror

Hi,

 

I am an assistant administrator from the web hosting company Qualsec.net, I
have the rsync command running at the moment to setup an apache mirror the
details are as follows:

 

*	URL of mirror - http://mirrors.qualsec.net/apache, looking into
linking that dir to FTP too at a later stage
*	Country where the mirror is located - United States
*	Contact email address - assistantadmin@qualsec.net
*	Update frequency - Undecided at this stage hoping at least once per
day, I also need help with what specific rsync command to run for updates
*	Rsync repository used - rsync.apache.org
*	Approximate bandwidth - 200 - 400GB+ per month
*	I have followed the recommended configuration for my mirror (yes/no)
- yes

 

I will need a bit of help with getting the crontab running to get the mirror
to auto update, but as I write this am waiting for the initial download to
complete. At this stage I do not have a 100x34 logo but am hoping to have
one ready within the next few days.

 

Regards,

 

Zac Shenker

Just for clarity, the logo policy is here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/FAQ.html#logo

You are, in fact, allowed to use the asf_logo.gif, as long as you aren't 
implying any sort of endorsement.

(Really, we should have a better set of public-use logos.  The 
asf_logo.gif is not a great one for that purpose.)

Joshua.

Yes, it's working fine, see http://www.apache.org/mirrors/.

Sorry, that's not possible right now but if you can provide a logo or 
other artwork, we can link this to an address you desire.

The ASF logo is a trademark and therefore can't be used on your own 
pages without prior written permission from the ASF. Though, as said, 
you can always provide your own logo and we will inline it on the 
download pages. See the last paragraph on 
http://www.apache.org/info/how-to-mirror.html for details.

Cheers,
Erik

Hi Erik,

Sorry its taken me a few days to reply I have been a bit busy with a few
other things. I managed to get my rsync line for the crontab setup and it is
now updating ok. Would it be possible to get the @ address for the mirror
changed to http://www.qualsec.net . Also is there any particular artwork for
mirrors to use to link to their mirror or the main site or should I use
http://www.apache.org/images/asf_logo.gif

We very much prefer HTTP mirrors so there's no real need to set up FTP 
access, especially for the US mirrors (we already have a bunch of US 
FTP mirrors).

We require at least one update per day, preferably between 2 and 4 
times a day. Have a look at 
http://www.apache.org/info/how-to-mirror.html for more information and 
rsync examples.

Looks good and I have added your mirror to our list.

Looks like your mirror is updating fine. If you have any problems or 
questions don't hesitate to post to this list, there's usually someone 
around to help you out...
