New Portal in Place, DNS switched ...

Have we dropped the notion of mirroring the website?
www.postgresql.org now takes me right to the main page, not to a list of
mirrors.

It does look nice though ;-)

the portal itself is not mirrored, butif you go to, for instance
UsersLounge or Downloads, it then gives you the option of which mirror to
go to ...

Ah. But if I do either, I see

Warning: pg_exec(): supplied argument is not a valid PostgreSQL link resource in
/usr/local/www/www.postgresql.org/mirrors.php on line 28

and

Couldn't query the mirrors table!

Might just be a transient problem till DNS updates ... or not ...

Ok, am online and DNS seems to be propagated out this way.

Will take a look now.

BTW - Should we do the redirects that the old postgresql.org used to do:

i.e.:

www.postgresql.org/doc -> www.ca.postgresql.org/users-lounge/

and similar.

:-)

Hi Tom,

Sorry about that. Was a combo of two simple problems.

It's fixed now. :-)

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@postgresql.org)

Better, thanks.

Minor suggestion: could we get ALT text for all the flags? Right now
it's there for USA, UK, Italy, but not the rest ...

Looks pretty good here.

However, the bugs link on the main page is currently broken (404: Page not

Any volunteers to act as a tertiary? :)

We're actually working on adding a new server online that is offshore,
which will also give us another subnet to work off of ... but having a
third-party secondary server wouldn't hurt, you are right ...

Sure, I have 2 NS's on my network with good upstream connectivity (UUNET,
SPRINT,
GENUITY, C&W, SAVVIS).

(207.158.72.11/207.158.72.45).

Let me know what the primary is, and what domain(s) you want.

the NS records listed in the root are:

NS-A.lerctr.org [207.158.72.11]
NS-B.lerctr.org [207.158.72.45]

Be more than happy to supply it.

is the only one maintained by 215.9 ...

Should I use both of the above, or which would you prefer?

Put them both in. I have a tendency to not have both down at the same
time.
Looks like you need to allow me AXFR.

I've added it to both, but I'm getting no AXFR permission.

Looks like your firewall needs to allow TCP/53 connections from me as well.

I'm getting RST's.

(BTW, TCP/53 can be used for large queries, so it should be allowed
globally).

Hi Marc,

Just tested it! it seemes that the address for the french flag is wrong:
http://www.fr.postgresql.org/www.postgresql.org instead of just
www.fr.postgresql.org.
