Re: [webmaster] Fw: Re: Fwd: Mirroring PostgreSQL.org in Israel]

Hi Aric,

I have added www2.il.postgresql.org to our mirror system. The DNS record
and rsync access will be automatically setup within the next few hours.
The system does not currently allow rsync access to subnets so I have
just added the 2 ip addresses specified below.

To get started, please create a virtual host on your server with the
hostname www2.il.postgresql.org. Note that apache can get upset if you
try this before the DNS record is in place. Once that is running, please
use rsync to populate your server with a copy of the content. This
should be run on a daily basis to keep up to date. We normally recommend
a command line something like:

rsync -avz --delete rsync.postgresql.org::pgsql-www
/path/to/vhost/docroot

Alternatively, you might try:

rsync -vzrltD --delete rsync.postgresql.org::pgsql-www
/path/to/vhost/docroot

Which was recommended to me today (I'd appreciate some feedback if you
try that). Once you have rsync'd, the system will automatically add your
mirror to our listings.

Re: the ftp mirror, unfortunately we cannot handle uid/pwd in the URLs
at present, but thanks for the offer anywy :-)

If you have any problems, please let me know.

Regards, Dave.
