| Summary | 0006569: FTP Remote Includes timesout | ||||
| Description | FTP Remote includes times out even though all data is transferred. This causes fallback to cached copy meaning remote conf changes are not synced during rehash. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Rehash server while utilizing remote includes over FTP. | ||||

[info] Testing IRCd configuration.. [info] Configuration loaded [info] Configuration test passed OK [ircadmin@hugo unrealircd]$ Recompiling unrealircd using systemwide curl did not fix the issue. Curl has no issues downloading any of the above files over FTP or http or https at console. However, if I renamed the config file on the ftp target and updated the local config to point to that would work on the first sync. After that it would repeat the error suggesting a cache issue. Upgrading from Centos 7 to Alma Linux 8 and then recompiling unrealircd ultimately fixes all the issues, the ftp remote include as well as the https geoip downloads. After a ton of testing and going back and forth, my best guess is the remote include loop for ftp targets falls back to cache more easily (maybe from the geoip download errors?) than when using http. Since this is a unsupported OS and likely an issue stemming from out of date libraries, I am not sure it is worth investigating. But I do have a copy of the VM prior to upgrading to Alma 8 if additional info or testing is needed. | ||||
