You will need to either set up your site or set up a virtual host so that the following URLs can operate from your site:
If you are using IP-based virtual hosting, the site name(s) will be transparent to you. This is by far the preferred setup, and the only one with works for FTP. For HTTP, HTTP-based virtual hosting (relying on the client passing the unresolved hostname) is also possible. If you are using HTTP-based virtual hosting, please make sure that you process any .kernel.org request directed to you, and not just a certain list of names.
If you are using Apache, this can be done with the following VirtualHost directives:
ServerName: www.handle .lkams.kernel.org ServerAlias: *.kernel.org
If you are providing both FTP and HTTP access, the FTP and HTTP IP addresses can be the same or different.
Please enter the IP address(es) for your site that are set up to respond to ftp://ftp.*.kernel.org/ and http://www.*.kernel.org/, respectively (if you are only providing either FTP or HTTP access, leave the other fields blank).
We ask that only sites with sufficient bandwidth (see the requirements page) participate in the mirror system. If you have less bandwidth than specified, or you have fairly low bandwidth and are in a country which already have many mirrors (such as the United States) please contact ftpadmin@kernel.org before registering.
