AutoRoute to Two Servers at Once
« on: January 11, 2010, 05:16:06 PM »

I have two servers that mirror each other's content and share the burden of several websites through a load balancer.  We don't use rsync in any automated fashion because it adds an unwanted load to the processors.  When we make massive changes to a site all at once, we might run an rsync, because the trouble is justified.  But when we are making one little change at a time, we count on FTP, and specifically, Yummy Smiley

But we are currently looking for a solution that will allow us to automatically upload a file to both servers at once, so that we don't have to manually do it for each server every time we make a change to a file.  I had hoped that we could accomplish this by setting the AutoRoute for each server's FTP account to the same local folder, so that when a file was opened by Yummy, it would upload that file to both servers.  However, it seems that instead Yummy picks the first account it finds that uses that folder, then stops the AutoRoute process without looking for other accounts that use the folder.  Is there a way to change this behavior, and if not, could it be developed?  It would be very useful for load balanced websites.

Yes, that could be added via a Preference fairly easily Smiley

Maybe it should be the default behavior? Options anyone?

I don't see anything wrong with it being the default behavior.  If someone doesn't want it to do that, then all they need to do is unset the AutoRoute for that folder for all accounts except one.

This is great news!  Any chance of issuing a super awesome uber elite alpha version that does this sometime soon?

Yes, that makes sense actually Smiley

As it happens, I just released v1.8.2b0, so...

I'll take a look at what's required first.

Wonderful!  Thank you so much.

I did an update check, but all it came up with was 1.8.2 b0.  Where can I get b1?

Hi JD,

It appears that you're latest update undid this change?   Am I missing something?  Did you add a setting somewhere?

Best,

Joey

Ouch! Yes, my mistake... in fixing a side effect of my previous change to enable multi-AutoRoutes, I actually broke it.

Revert to 1.8.2b4 with this link, which puts the capability back:

Of course I'll get this fixed (properly!) for the next build.
