$lgsl_config['live_time'] = 5; // seconds allowed querying servers which prevents page time outs
$lgsl_config['cache_time'] = 70; // seconds before the cache is considered old
$lgsl_config['retry_offline'] = 0; // 1 will quickly retry servers that ignore the first request
$lgsl_config['management'] = 1; // 1 will show advanced management in the admin by default
$lgsl_config['public_feed'] = 0; // 1 will allow anyone to add servers to your lgsl database
$lgsl_config['cms'] = "sa"; // sets which CMS specific code to use
$lgsl_config['url_path'] = ""; // full domain path to /lgsl_files/ for when path detection fails

As long as its being run every minute it should not need any changes.

It might be timing out after 30 seconds, which you can fix using a .htaccess file with:

php_value max_execution_time 1800

Just so you know, I am also working on some cron improvements in 4.6 making it easier to sort problems.

If you still have problems, let me know, and I will send you a beta of 4.6 when its finished.

so just create .htaccess files with:


php_value max_execution_time 1800

and put it to lgsl/lgsl_files or lgsl ?

p.s. example http://cs.infocentras.com/ opens fast with correct servers info

The lgsl_cron.php does not run by itself, you need to setup a "cron job", either using the cron options in cpanel or linux.

http://docs.moodle.org/en/Cron

If you have cPanel, you would use * * * * * and the command:

wget -q -O /dev/null http://EXAMPLE.COM/lgsl/lgsl_files/lgsl_cron.php

If your hosting does not use cpanel, check if they provide another way to setup a cron.

If not, ask a friend with cPanel, to setup a cron pointing to your sites lgsl_cron.php ( the cron does not have to be on the same server )

Sorry, I dont know any free hosting.

Just an update, some hosts dont allow wget anymore, and give a permission denied error. For those you can try CURL instead.

curl --compressed -s -o /dev/null http://EXAMPLE.COM/lgsl/lgsl_files/lgsl_cron.php

Rich maybe now i want to much...?

I want when I refresh page (list) all servers new info quickly comes on the list .. but now you can refresh .. refresh but everytime server info is old.. so i close page and wait few minutes..(or just wait few minutes) and then refresh and all info now is correct.. but when i refresh again servers info is old... :/

sorry for bad english, I hope you understand what i write here..

If you change this setting :


 $lgsl_config['cache_time'] = 70; // seconds before the cache is considered old

It will dump the cache at what ever interval you use, but with that many servers I don't know if that is or isn't a good idea. You better wait for Rich.

First thing is to view the lgsl_cron.php in your browser, and making sure its refreshing all the servers, and not timing out.

Also remember that the list only updates once every minute.
