Multi-Server Problems

[bplex]

A couple of notes:

1. You shouldn't be running the FLVTool on MP4 videos. The FLVTool injects meta data into FLV files. If you are running the tool on MP4 files, I would expect it to hang or fail.
2. The code is supposed to select the server with the least amount of space being used. However, I believe that there is a bug in the vShare 2.7 as I have run into issues in the past with FTPing videos to other servers. I haven't tried if my fix fixes the entire problem. But, I do know that it fixes the FTP issues that I have run into. The typo is in the functions_upload.php file. I have to go back and look to see what it was.

Yea, I realize FLVTool shouldn't be ran on MP4, but what would make it fail only on videos uploaded to the server via FTP? It doesn't fail or hang if it was uploaded via the Uber uploader. Could it deal with file permissions?

Also, if you can tell me what the typo is when you get a chance that would be great.

Well, if it is trying to write to MP4's, it's failing all the time. The hanging is likely do to file permissions. Do you know if your server has suExec and suPHP turned on? If not, your uploaded files and your conversion are all happening as the Apache user. Your FTP uploads are all running as your FTP user.

When I get in tonight, I'll look to see what it was that I changed.

I am currently running a cPanel server with suPHP set in EasyApache, as I had to rebuild it to insure TTF & GD Support for the Captcha. This is on a Dedicated solution.

Are you using the cron job (batch processing) or the background or immediate processing?

[heathman]

Immediate. I removed the use of FLVTool2 just now, though I don't know if that will make an improvement, we'll find out.

[bplex]

Ok. Immediate should be running through suExec and suPHP so it shouldn't hang. Let me know if it continues.
