Right Of Registration EPP Script (Free)

[Sean]

I wonder if they reset everything at noon when the deadline passed?

When Nominet release the live EPP for this, I take it we're going to need to create our registrant IDs again, register server IPs etc.? Guess we'll find out next week?

 

[Aaron Clifford]

My guess is it would be your live registrant Id?

 

[timter51]

So you think they'll copy across from the current live EPP? Or are they just going to use the normal EPP server? I thought they were setting up a different EPP server for the release...

Mirror of the existing EPP server I believe, so your usual RegistrantID's will apply. We'll have the ROR-EPP and testbed to play with next week.

Top stuff thanks Ian

Maybe daft question...but what are we on at moment ? I mean is it not the testbed for the ROR drop ?

Tell you what... this command line stuff getting this running on a VPS has been an interesting learning curve for me! Up and running now thanks mostly to Aaron being brilliantly patient. I've enjoyed it though.

Last bit of the puzzle. Does anyone know why if I hit index.php from a cron it doesn't work? If I SSH in via terminal and run it it's fine. Via cron I just get an email saying :

Message: Script failed, likely cause is the recent addition of the IP address to the Nominet test bed due to the large amount of people currently setting up. Please try running the script in 60 minutes time again.

It's a file path issue, cron fix and instructions coming monday!

 

[dee]

Okay . Thanks . I'll leave it then for now .

6 requests a minute though. That is such a joke. So are we running this PHP code every 10 seconds on cron? I'm assuming that's how it's going to work.

Think You run cron at 13h59m. It gathers the list and pre converts to XML for reg attempts. At 14h 00m exactly it runs 6 as fast as can..... waits for next whole minute. On the turnover of minute 2 hits 6 times as fast as can etc etc

By minute 2 though it will be low hanging fruit. Each go daddy, fasthost or whoever that has multiple tags will get 150 goes at the cream before we can even blink again

I think you should all band together against the unfair, big registrar favoured process and sit out of the .uk ror release all together in a show of solidarity

Why should you all use your energy fighting each other for the scraps when really you should be fighting for justice against the system itself

Do the right thing, sit it out

I will be attempting to catch of course but I have a weak character don't be like me

lol.....love the small print

Released an update fixing a bug with timings, explain in the commit message. Added config for 6/9 etc creates. If you are looking to send 100s of creates, out of the box I wouldn't recommend this, its really for the low end of the creates

One more fix to follow over the weekend to fix file paths so you can run it from a cron, and them I'm done with this, good luck everyone for next week!

 

[Aaron Clifford]

I'm not going to have time to release an update to run from a cron, but if you change anywhere there is a fopen or file_exists with the full path of the script (/var/nominet-ror/ or root/nominet-ror, or whatever your path is) it should run from a cron ok.

 

[dee]

Hi Aaron, just to be sure, so literally replacing any text in the script that says 'fopen' or 'fileexists' with the path to the folder ?

 

[Aaron Clifford]

No sorry, thats the function, you need to update the path within that function

Couple of examples in Epp.php

line 262 is :

$handle = fopen("REGISTRANT", 'w') or die('Cannot open file');

change to

$handle = fopen("/your/path/REGISTRANT", 'w') or die('Cannot open file');

line 281:

$f = fopen("logs/" . $date . "-" . $file . ".txt", 'a');

change to

$f = fopen("/your/path/logs/" . $date . "-" . $file . ".txt", 'a');

Aaaah... okay. Makes sense. Thank you
