[arm-allstar] astdb.php database down again

[Logan Crook]

Hi Doug, and the group

The issue when I updated my stuff this morning and went on Supermon and
showed private node and node not in the database when I do astdb.php and it
gave me these errors this morning.

[root at K8LRC-HUB sbin]# astdb.php
astdb.txt: Retries exceeded!!  0 bytes - Invalid: file too small, bailing
out.
[root at K8LRC-HUB sbin]# astdb.php
astdb.txt: Retries exceeded!!  0 bytes - Invalid: file too small, bailing
out.
[root at K8LRC-HUB sbin]#

Something in the astdb.php script I saw in the script that caused the
problem
//$url = "https://allstarlink.org/cgi-bin/allmondb.pl";
$url = "https://nodelist.hamvoip.org/getASLdb.php";
$retries = 0;
while (true) {

When I did this in the astdb.php script it didn't do the invalid: file too
small, bailing out and the problem went away

$url = "https://allstarlink.org/cgi-bin/allmondb.pl";
$retries = 0;
while (true) {

[root at K8LRC-HUB sbin]# astdb.php
astdb.txt: 480739 bytes

Want to share this what the issue that it caused.
