MTA-Fan Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 Is it possible to load the nickserv.ini directly from the www? We are many admins and need a syncronized nickserv.ini!
MTA-Fan Posted October 6, 2004 Author Posted October 6, 2004 (edited) Yes that would be great ! Edited October 6, 2004 by Guest
NosGoth Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 Yes that would be great and when will it be released? Ouch! Never ask for release-dates.
Oli Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 1 thing i must stress about this, is if the nickserv.ini file is large (ie even 50KB) then this system will be very bandwidth comsuming... ie every time a single person joins the server the script will download the nickserv.ini file and check the names in it (basically) so say a person joins every 10secs thats 3MB a min which is 180MB an hour, which is 4.32GB a day so please be aware of this, also note that u wont be able to upload to it whtout ftp details to the webserver. So considering all this, i am not sure it would be worth adding these features as they would require at least 6 hours of scripting work on my part AND would increase the script size by at least 25KB
Harry Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 The best solution for this is a (distributed) databaseserver, where everyone can query. That would decrease the bandwith, because a join then only requires 2 queries, max 1k
