Strange issues with Uniform server -- Starting

[wex-alpha]

Hello everyone, its been a long time since my last post here

 

I must say uniform server progressed nicely. I congratulate you on that

 

Over the time that I use US (Uniform Server) I have find a some peculiar problems, that I cant trace where do they originate from. As the title says, all of them are related to a US Start... locally.

 

I don't use Skype let me say that right at the start , so my 80 is free.

 

When I run US on USB stick:

 

Many times I do receive error message box saying that Windows cant find a redirect.html located in "W" drive. That is a default virtual drive for US.

When I click OK, thats it... nothing happens. When I repeat procedure several times (starting and terminating) problems fixes it self somehow. It appears it cashes US somewhere on a target machine, and when run later it pulls redirect from cash rather then from destination drive.

 

This is not influenced with the PHP content in a www file. I was running my programs (PHP/MySQL). I was running Joomla, I was running Typo3 and many more applications. I even tried running a server for most popular MMPORG game today (will not name which one, since it is not legal)... and it behaves same every time

 

When I move on other machine, the same thing might happen again... and it might not. I run US on at least 70 different machines over time, and I say error ratio is 60%.

 

 

 

When I run US on HD stick:

 

 

 

Things get much better. There is one fix that eliminates 80% of a problem and that is changing number 1 to higher value in this piece of code. That code is located in redirect.html

 

 

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;url=http://localhost/">

 

I cant say much about running US on HD... it is under tolerance level.

 

I was giving a lot of thought about my problem, and one thing comes back every time... and it is USB stick. It looks like it is directly in connection with it.

 

Right now I do not have any questions... I will keep posting as I find ideas and solutions. If someone can share some nice information about this issue, please do by all means

 

 

All the best

OMG

 

That looks promising. I cant wait to try it. I will post results in here.

 

 

The code for elminating "race" condition which is:

 

:Check apache started if not loop until it does

%Disk%:
cd \usr\local\apache2\logs

SET /P input1=<httpd.pid
:REPEAT
ping 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 1000 >null
SET /P input2=<httpd.pid
if "%input1%"=="%input2%" goto :REPEAT

 

Where do I exactly put it in Server_Start.bat:

 

I think its here somewhere, but I am not sure (content of existing Server_Start.bat):

 

%Disk%:
cd \usr\local\php
start \usr\local\mysql\bin\mysqld-opt.exe --defaults-file=/usr/local/mysql/bin/my-small.cnf
CLS
echo The server is working on the disk %Disk%:\ [http/127.0.0.1/apanel/]
set www=\www\
set apanel=\home\admin\www\
start %apanel%\redirect.html

if "%3"=="console" goto :CONSOLE
start %programit%uniserv.exe "%apacheit%" "%closeit%"
goto :END

 

Can you edit it for me pretty please?

 

 

Thank you.
