Re: [gentoo-user] OT - Apache, mod_perl, and Apache-ASP
I am attempting to install Apache-ASP for my users on my server box. Personally, I don't use ASP (I prefer PHP), but most of my users still prefer Microsoft and they might want to use it. It wasn't available in portage, so I had to get the source code off the Internet. I've followed all the instructions (I think), but I still see the example ASP code when I go to the example ASP scripts that came bundled with Apache-ASP. Does anyone else have experience with Apache-ASP that could tell me what I'm doing wrong? Apache-ASP depends on mod_perl (I emerged it last night), and I've added -D PERL to the APACHE2_OPTS variable in /etc/conf.d/apache2 and restarted apache, but I'm not sure if it's working. Is there a way for me to test if mod_perl is working? heya, from my experience you would need something like sun's chilisoft asp engine in order to run true asp code on a linux-based machine. apache-asp is all perl-based, meaning you can't just take code off a windows machine and expect it to work on linux. to be honest, i have no idea what the point of apache-asp is. -matt -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Go through top and see what is sucking up your memory. Or you can use
gnome-system-monitor, which I like better.
Here is a little program I tossed together to free that cached memory.
Just run it and specify an amount of memory in MB. Do not run this as
root, a normal user is fine.
I have 2 GB and after running VMWare I run:
mem 1200
Which frees all that cached memory that VMWare sucked up. If you have
1 GB, you should turn swap off before you run this, otherwise you might
just be allocating memory from swap and defeat the purpose.
Before you run the program, look at the output of free to see how much
you should try to free. For example,
[EMAIL PROTECTED] free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1963 1643 3190 258 923
-/+ buffers/cache: 461 1502
Swap: 509 0 509
I have 923 MB sitting in cache. So if I run:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mem 1200
allocating: 1200MB bytes of memory
allocated: 1258291200MB bytes of memory
freed 1258291200MB bytes of memory
I now have 1.2 GB free:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1963 715 1248 0 45 307
-/+ buffers/cache: 362 1600
Swap:509 0 509
To compile the program, just do:
You can replace $CFLAGS with whatever you like, for example -O3.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] gcc $CFLAGS -o mem mem.c
[EMAIL PROTECTED] sudo cp mem /usr/bin

Do you actually get any performance benefits after having freed the memory occupied by the cache? In theory, you shouldn't see any benefits, as the system should throw away memory pages occupied by cache stuff, as soon as there are more important requests (like any malloc). Or am I wrong? That is how it should be. However I noticed when I only had 512 MB of memory that most of my memory would be used and I would see a lot of cache. Instead of that cache being freed or used, I would see a lot of swap file usage which really kills performance. I basically don't want to see swap touched unless I actually run out of physical memory. The best thing to do besides have a bunch of memory is to tune your swappiness: http://kerneltrap.org/node/3000 Now that I have 2 GB of memory, I don't worry about it any more.

The compiler is slotted, so you can just do emerge --oneshot =sys-devel/gcc-3.4.5-r1 and then use gcc-config to set your compiler back to the 3.3.5 version. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] problems with ifplugd
Hi, does anybody use ifplugd successfully? Assume a cable is inserted. Then i perform the following commands: - ifconfig eth0 up - mii-tool eth0 = works, shows infos about the link - ifconfig eth0 down - mii-tool eth0 = shows no-link even though cable is inserted! The problem: So assume i unplug the cable. ifplugd calls /etc/init.d/net.eth0 stop and the interface goes down (same as ifconfig eth0 down above) Now ifplugd polls the interface and waits until the a cable is inserted, but this will never be detected, because mii-tool always reports no-link. So i assume that ifplugd was written to detect the when the cable is reinserted - but in my case, it can't. Is that a proper behaviour? I mean: is mii-tool supposed to report the link infos when a cable is inserted and the interface is down? I may have found a bug in the network-driver (bcm4400). Can you perform those three steps with your network card? - ifconfig eth0 up - ifconfig eth0 down - mii-tool eth0 What does the mii-tool report?

Hi,

I have had it working with my last 3 laptops.
Probably what is happening is that the interface needs to be up in
order for mii-tool (or ethtool) to work correctly.
Try adding the following to /etc/conf.d/net:
postdown() {
test ${IFACE} = eth0 /sbin/ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 up
return 0
}
This will make sure that when the interface is brought down by the
init script, that it is really kept up, but with no address.
I may have found a bug in the network-driver (bcm4400).
I have this same driver, although I prefer ethtool:
Can you perform those three steps with your network card?
- ifconfig eth0 up
- ifconfig eth0 down
- mii-tool eth0
No, the interface needs to be up for mii stuff to work.
But as proof that it works:
