The great big .uk Rights of Registration thread!

[armistice]

Still cant access live epp. IP been added for days now but still getting

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.

Works immediately if i switch to test. Anyone else in same boat or have i screwed up somewhere ?

The live ROR EPP uses the live EPP settings not the Testbed settings so double check your live settings at nominet (ipaddress and passwords)

Will do. I have about 3 times, but my muppetry knows no bounds.

ror-epp.nominet.org.uk (port 700) and dac.nominet.org.uk (port 3043)

Make sure you correct not just the config.php file, but also the dac.php and epp.php files within the app > nominet folder.

Also make sure you are adding a RegistrantID from your live account, I.e. one of your contact addresses for an active domain on your tag.

Are you using @Aaron Clifford's software? If so, it might be a problem with SSL certificate, I've just sent this through to him - https://github.com/AaronClifford/nominet-ror-epp-software/pull/11

Could be something completely different, but worth a try.

I don't think you're going to get better than 7ms. Unless you can get yourself a powerful VM inside Powergate, London. Which is not impossible, but probably expensive and overkill for this sort of script.

7ms is truly terrible. Even digitalocean droplets will get you 2ms; the most competitive sub 1ms.

 

[ian]

Yeah, it's terrible for someone who has spent hundreds of or thousands building a low level language drop catching script. I mean come on, nobody is expecting to catch anything really good with this code. There's all sorts of stuff you have to think about that's in between LON1 at DO and Nominet servers, let's be honest. Firstly DO has their own Firewall to think about, secondly the VM servers just ain't that good without spending $80 at least. Show me a 2ms DO VM please, and I'll be surprised. I'LL EAT MY HAT!

EDIT: Just kidding. I'm eating my hat right now. Honest!

My main server in LON runs at 1.29 ms

Well, not that I'd advocate them for reliable/stable use, but digitalocean droplets at $5/month achieve in the 2-3ms response time. Many other faster VPS options are available for a similar price.

I am. Funny... i got rid of the initial ssl:// and now its changed to '
Error logging into EPP, please check your config and Nominet settings.'

my config is this :

<?php
return array(

    'dac' =>
        array('host' => 'dac.nic.uk', 'port' => '3043'),

    'epp' =>
        array(
            'host' => 'ror-epp.nominet.org.uk',
            'port' => '700',
            'tag' => 'MYTAG',
            'password' => 'PasswordIsDefoNot1234',
            'liveRegistrantID' => '148--------blah',
            'testRegistrantID' => '148-----blah', // Max 16 characters, change this every time

DAC and EPP in app are same

EDIT...certainly not complaining or trying to piss Aaron off. He's been amazing. Just been trying to work this out myself. Lol...thats gone well.

BINGO !!!!! i changed to

' ssl://epp.nominet.org.uk' as a lightbulb moment after your post and its worked

Thank you !

Edit. This is in config file for anyone else using Aarons script.

 

[wb]

This has been a real learning curve!

Think I'm set up correctly with NTP, how do I find out what my response time is in ms?

ssh in and type : ntpstat

That will give you your error. If thats what you meant ?

Assume you mean changed to ssl://ror-epp.nominet.org.uk in the config, otherwise you are connecting to the wrong server.

My coat is being got for me as I type. It was late.....

 

[ian]

Has anyone found that ror-epp.nominet.org.uk gives this greeting?

"<svID>Nominet EPP server epp.nominet.org.uk</svID>"

You would think they'd have changed the label!

 

[stitchbob]

It's probably the same servers, they've just isolated a couple and put a different load balancer in front of them.

Cheers, just as I thought it was all going well – "time correct to within 30 ms"

Would anyone be kind enough to help me bring that down?!

Try `ntpdate -q 1.uk.pool.ntp.org`

 

[dee]

Try `ntpdate -q 1.uk.pool.ntp.org`

What does that do ? Does it change the ref ?

 

[dee]

We shouldnt need to do a create on the ROR Epp should we ? They use the same database as main EPP ?

It syncs your time with the server at 1.uk.pool.ntp.org. If you prefer another NTP server, use that instead - they should all be the same.

Use an existing registrantID from the live server; nothing from the testbed will work.
