Rich mentioned in this thread that every lgsl install could feed (open ports provided).

Is there a howto available, or anyone can give a short install explanation?Currently using the e107 version.

I don't believe the issues with the feed server, as I have put an external up-time tracker on it, and this month, apart from a day of maintaince, its had 100% uptime.

The issue is often the requesting site, fsockopen or curl becomes jammed.

But what I am planning to do is make errors invisible / hidden in the next version, so if there is a temporary problem it does not affect the site.

Hi Rich,

I believe its still a feed problem!

When i put the URL:www.greycube.co.uk/lgsl/feed/lgsl_files/lgsl_feed.php in my browser the message "LGSL FEEDPROBLEM: INCOMPLETE REQUEST" appear.

Yes, thats normal, because you have not put in the url the game server information or what is to be retrieved.

For example:
http://www.greycube.co.uk/lgsl/feed/lgsl_files/lgsl_feed.php?ip=200.177.229.31&c_port=27016&q_port=27016&type=source&request=s

Also note, greycube.com itself uses the .co.uk feed, so if LGSL is working here, it is unlikely to be the feed.

When our site has had the so called feed issue it can last for a long time and hiding the problem will only mean we have server monitoring modules on the site not showing accurate info.

This issue never used to be a problem in the older versions of LGSL so something must have changed. I'm not qualified to point out where this problem stems from but hiding the problem doesn't seem to be the correct solution.

I might try going back to older an version of LGSL just to test.
If it's not the feed, the same website hasn't moved hosting then maybe its LGSL current version.

Edit: I now have LGSL v5.1 running on a testsite...

On our website we have 3 LGSL modules on the home page and on the test site I only have one LGSL module.
Since setting up the older version on the test site I've had the feed problem on our website with three LGSL modules but the single LGSL on the test site was working fine.

I then thought maybe this issue could have something to do with running multiple LGSL modules more than it being a feed issue.
I'm now only running 1 module on both sites and both have been working OK.

Out of curiosity how many of you guys having these feed issues are running more than one LGSL module?

I have 8 servers added to LGSL and use 1 module and set it to random and most of the time LGSL slows my website down as the feed takes so long and thats if it works at all!

The feed is always going to be slower than direct queries and is meant as a last resort.

But I just had a look into performance, and usage had jumped from 500 to 14000 IPs hitting the feed O_o

I have cleaned out the cache and logs, rebooted the server. Hopefully it was just once off flooding, otherwise I will have to bring back registering to use the public feed.
