New router installed
This weekend there was an opportunity to install the Vigor router in stead of the Fritzbox; since IPTV was now working on the Fritzbox, I was able to prepare a number of installations to handle IPTV on the Vigor. This traffic is in a separate, tagged VLAN, and the easy solution is bridging it to a LAN port, and since it is another network, into a separate LAN. That solution tunred out to work, for a running configuration, but how that will work if the TV-receiver needs to restart remains to be seen; the configuration is probably not the best.
IPv6 doesn’t initialize either, but since the prefix is known and fixed, it can be defined as a static address; however, I followed the Draytek advice and it makes no dfference….
So the Fritzbox remains available, in case I need to re-initialize the receivers….
Another issue with installation is that the Netgear GB-switch I had in mind – split VLANs – does not work properly. It seems to work, but after some time, connections are lost. So I re-installed the old 100Mb box in stead – it simply works…..
WordPress issues – continued
Did some deeper investigation on the problems; I created an audit log for both SWS and WASD and found a difference in handling. Posted the outcome to the WASD mailing list, after which Mark installed Wrodpress and MySQL to investigate; however, he used a different mapping than he proposed, and that one seems to work, except for ACCVIO’s. But he didn’t get the redirections that I found – which were, in retrospect, not really unexpectible; for some reason, a 301-status triggered a full reparse of the code – up the four times until the last one runs into resource exhaustion…
There is something going on in the WordPress code that triggers a 301-status to be returned – and false! – when the command to the server is a REDIRECT – as is shown in the WATCH output that Mark included.
The next step in this investigation is changing the mapping – and find out what causes ACCVIO, which is a completely different matter.
