Description

Hi All,

Just to get it out there if you get the following error message when attempting to test with your own self-hosted librespeedtest instance:

Selected server is not responding at the moment, try again later

The fix is just to add the "backend/" to the variables with the php files, I did not figure this out on my own, it was posted [HERE] by @fmolinelli (https://github.com/librespeed/speedtest-cli/issues/27)

[
  {
    "id": 0,
    "name": "<Name>",
    "server": "http://URL or IP/",
    "dlURL": "backend/**garbage.php",
    "ulURL": "backend/empty.php",
    "pingURL": "backend/empty.php",
    "getIpURL": "backend/getIP.php"
  }
]
