Just to let you know, that if you have cluster installed and want to run clouds, it does not work. Since the url for clouds still point to the main server.

True, but I saw clouds work on a cluster server (in fact, I set it up on mine when testing that division by 0 error and that slow regen issue I told you about last week or the week before). Clouds itself works fine on the cluster, assuming you bothered to copy over the smarty plugins.
Sefjam "could" work on the cluster. I'm not a whiz with mod_rewrite, but somehow you simply need to explicitly allow certain scripts on the master and cluster to not be re-written by sefjam. The only issue with sefjam and cluster, is that it blocks the remote connection from master to cluster and reverse.
If you need help making it work, I'd love to work on it with you- I had it working once, then forgot about it and accidentally deleted the test account I was using. We can schedule a time and work via live chat if you wish I know it would make a lot of folks happy Including myself, I get a lot of questions like "when will sefjam work with the cluster?"...like I would know!?

I'm burned out on that f'in cluster! (And find it hard to see the point - disk space is cheap and large, and if you need more than one machine to house your 25,000 members you don't need htaccess or mod_rewrite, there are better ways of doing it with rewrite maps [although I don't know how]).
I can send you the details for the test setup if you like, take a look and see if you can figure it out. I have some things working, but other things break.
If msultani has artists on the cluster he is all alone though, SefJam DOES NOT WORK WITH THE CLUSTER SERVER. Neither do Clouds. If 75,000 members genuinely need it to, I have not much work booked for the month of May and I am entirely self employed (although it's not really working for me as I take home less than I did as a cycle courier 10 years ago).
Can I just mention again, SefJam DOES NOT WORK WITH THE CLUSTER SERVER.

smith.kyle:
You were once one of those crazy bike messengers?!?!
I gave it up after borrowing neoprene booties to work in the snow during a week when I had a back wheel stolen from a borrowed bike after being mugged for mine whilst riding it.
It was an excellent job while it lasted. The money was rubbish, but the fitness, right action and roadrush really pays off - do it while you're young! People can say whatever they like, but that's just the way people can be, for example, reported in today's Guardian:
Quote:
However, the rhetorical assaults have intensified. Tibet's Chinese Communist party boss, Zhang Qingli, has branded the Dalai Lama a "wolf in monk's robes, a devil with a human face, but the heart of a beast".
The Chinese state media has condemned protesting monks as the "scum of Buddhism".
China claims Dalai Lama ready to foment violence and mount suicide attacks

Our government can't condemn ludicrous statements like this, neither can your government, but a cycle courier can.

LOL!!!! That's awesome, I have an all-new respect for you! I'm trying to picture you walking home in the snow wearing neoprene boots and carrying a bike missing it's back wheel over your shoulder.

Haha! Clouds does work on the cluster server Wanna see? Seriously I had it installed on KMLP.com to test (which is on a cluster) and it worked without issue, I even thought it was cool, but I didn't realize it was paid/licensed so I removed it..
sefjam/clouds combo may not work, because SEFJAM DOES NOT WORK ON A FRIGGEN CLUSTER, but that isn't what this topic was about.
I'm not sure if I have the latest version of sefjam here or not, but I'll show you the proof of concept- and you can see how much of the root of sefjam I broke to make it work (as far as I can tell, nothing is broke, I'm simply allowing jamroom to communicate with itself in sefjam).
Sefjam in a cluster setup, almost acts like a firewall between the master and the cluster. All we need to do is "allow" certain functions to bypass sefjam and its golden. Other then that, the basic build of sefjam has no issue with the cluster. The only issue that I've seen, is that it blocks the remote communication with the jamroom master and vice versa, nothing more.

DJ -
if you want you can contact me about this via email - I've been working with SteveX on this issue.
Thanks!

Oh? Just saw this...curious how far you've gotten
I should have time in the next couple days, sometime after wednesday.
The only caveat is that you need to put the clouds plugin on the cluster server (ie; you need to do the same clouds installation on the cluster that you did on the master)
I know it would make a lot of folks happy 
Including myself, I get a lot of questions like "when will sefjam work with the cluster?"...like I would know!?
