Realtime Apache Load Balancing

Author: Vince

Hello I just wanted to let anyone who is interested in using the 'Realtime Apache Load Balancing' script that there is a minor bug in the version currently available on the site. Line 49 which reads: $buffer=fread($handle,409 6); should be: $buffer.=fread($handle,40 96); The problem is that if the buffer submitted by calling 'server-status' is greater than 4096 bytes then all you will retain in your buffer is the portion of data that exceeds the final iteration of the 4096 byte limitation. Besides this little problem and a lack of a real person to talk to about implementing this script I think it's great. I've read the code, researched all the functions I didn't understand and was able to get everything working relatively easily. Only really new thing for me to learn in using this script was in how to enable 'server-status' in apache. Fortunately for me, I run my own server and was able to make the neseccary changes to the httpd.conf fils myself but this is probably not the case for all developers. Vince
