Firefox crashes and hangs my 6.1R system
Hi, Lately, and seemingly inexplicably, firefox will lock up my X server with it if I click a button where filesystem access is required eg. if I'm in an 'upload file' form and a 'Browse...' button is available to go to a filesystem browser. If I ssh into the machine remotely I can see that Xorg is using 90+% CPU and the only way to recover is to reboot (which doesn't even execute cleanly). Interestingly, I can reproduce this situation when running firefox on a remote host but displaying locally so it seems more likely X/system related than specifically firefox. When the machine hangs, even the keyboard is non functional eg scroll lock won't light. I have USB keyboard/mouse. I'd appreciate any tips for diagnosis/recovery. I've appended the most relevant configuration information. I've already rebuilt and installed kernel/world to ensure I'm up to date, and portupgraded as much as practicable. I should note that I haven't changed my build options for firefox since pre-crash, either. regards, -- Joel Hatton -- Infrastructure Manager | Hotline: +61 7 3365 4417 AusCERT - Australia's national CERT | Fax: +61 7 3365 7031 The University of Queensland| WWW: www.auscert.org.au Qld 4072 Australia | Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Firefox options: # This file is auto-generated by 'make config'. # No user-servicable parts inside! # Options for firefox-1.5.0.4,1 _OPTIONS_READ=firefox-1.5.0.4,1 WITH_NEWTAB=true WITHOUT_SMB=true WITHOUT_DEBUG=true WITH_LOGGING=true WITH_OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS=true 6.1-RELEASE-p1 Information for xorg-server-6.9.0_4: Depends on: Dependency: expat-2.0.0_1 Dependency: pkgconfig-0.20_2 Dependency: pkg-config-0.20_2 Dependency: libdrm-2.0.1_1 Dependency: freetype2-2.1.10_3 Dependency: fontconfig-2.3.2_5,1 Dependency: xorg-libraries-6.9.0 Information for firefox-1.5.0.4,1: Depends on: Dependency: libiconv-1.9.2_2 Dependency: expat-2.0.0_1 Dependency: gettext-0.14.5_2 Dependency: jpeg-6b_4 Dependency: pkgconfig-0.20_2 Dependency: pkg-config-0.20_2 Dependency: png-1.2.8_3 Dependency: freetype2-2.1.10_3 Dependency: popt-1.7_1 Dependency: perl-5.8.8 Dependency: glib-2.10.2 Dependency: nspr-4.6.1 Dependency: nss-3.11_1 Dependency: fontconfig-2.3.2_5,1 Dependency: libxml2-2.6.24 Dependency: libdrm-2.0.1_1 Dependency: xorg-libraries-6.9.0 Dependency: libXft-2.1.7_1 Dependency: tiff-3.8.2 Dependency: xorg-fonts-encodings-6.9.0_1 Dependency: shared-mime-info-0.17_1 Dependency: bitstream-vera-1.10_2 Dependency: libIDL-0.8.6_2 Dependency: atk-1.11.4 Dependency: xorg-fonts-truetype-6.9.0 Dependency: hicolor-icon-theme-0.5 Dependency: glitz-0.4.4_1 Dependency: desktop-file-utils-0.11 Dependency: cairo-1.0.4 Dependency: pango-1.12.2 Dependency: gtk-2.8.17 My current kernel config file: machine i386 cpu I686_CPU ident GX260 options SCHED_ULE # ULE scheduler options PREEMPTION # Enable kernel thread preemption options INET# InterNETworking options FFS # Berkeley Fast Filesystem options SOFTUPDATES # Enable FFS soft updates support options UFS_ACL # Support for access control lists options UFS_DIRHASH # Improve performance on big directories options NFSCLIENT # Network Filesystem Client options MSDOSFS # MSDOS Filesystem options CD9660 # ISO 9660 Filesystem options PROCFS # Process filesystem (requires PSEUDOFS) options PSEUDOFS# Pseudo-filesystem framework options GEOM_GPT# GUID Partition Tables. options COMPAT_43 # Compatible with BSD 4.3 [KEEP THIS!] options COMPAT_FREEBSD4 # Compatible with FreeBSD4 options COMPAT_FREEBSD5 # Compatible with FreeBSD5 options SCSI_DELAY=5000 # Delay (in ms) before probing SCSI options KTRACE # ktrace(1) support options SYSVSHM # SYSV-style shared memory options SYSVMSG # SYSV-style message queues options SYSVSEM # SYSV-style semaphores options _KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING # POSIX P1003_1B real-time extensions options KBD_INSTALL_CDEV# install a CDEV entry in /dev options ADAPTIVE_GIANT # Giant mutex is adaptive. options IPFIREWALL #firewall options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE #enable logging to syslogd(8) options INCLUDE_CONFIG_FILE # Include this file in kernel options TCP_DROP_SYNFIN #drop TCP packets with SYN+FIN device apic# I/O APIC device pci device fdc device ata device atadisk # ATA disk drives device atapicd # ATAPI CDROM drives options

Heavy creation and deletion of symlinks
I am currently planning an FTP-based service which requires a custom application to run which will create hundreds (if not thousands) of symlinks in various directories per hour. There will probably also be a cronjob running to delete symlinks periodically. The main purpose of the server will be medium to heavy traffic FTP serving. So my question is; how does such activity affect the general health and operation of FreeBSD? Also, the health of the harddrive(s) which will most likely be SATA disks. It is my understanding that symlinks only affects the file allocation table, and not the physical data blocks? This would mean that the impact isn't so terrible, as the changes will be contained to a relatively small part of the beginning of the disk, correct? -- Dag Rune Sneeggen Romolslia 23B 7029 Trondheim NORWAY -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

That's pointed out in /usr/ports/UPDATING. Unfortunately, it didn't automatically fix the issue for me. ** thats because you are using the devel version of apache. php4 & php5 are designed to auto update apache13 not apache22 you are on your own when you use devel apache22 Blow away apache22 and you can use the apache13 package for quick install then php5 port like said before. if you have previous working apache13 httpd-config restore it to correct path after apache13 package install, then php5 port "make" will update it correctlly. ** > > Your other httpd-config problems are due to you using apache22 > instead of apache13 which is the rock hard production version of > Apache web server.

There were security issues with 1.3 that were not resolved at the time of my upgrade.

The package php5 is broken because it does not contain the apache module by default as in previous freebsd releases. you do have to cvs the php5 config files plus the base make control files. go with it. * * warning side note: be sure to comment out proxy module statements in both places in httpd-conf. this will stop your web server from being used to attack other systems without your knowledge.

How to set up private gateway server with specific features
I have a new freebsd6.1-stable install I've almost got it configured the way I want it. Except Ive got a couple of problems and dont see what to do about it. requirements I cant figure out how to do are: specific setup issues are I have two nics and one is named red, and the other green, as you can imagine the red one is out to the internet, and the green one is the internal net. green ip = 192.168.1.1 red ip = DHCP 1. I need a dhcp server on the green net that can update the dns server automatically when a dhcp lease is accepted. 2. The freebsd server needs to be able to be a dns server for the green net and forward other requests to the nameserver obtained from the DHCP setup. 3. the dns server needs to be setup to look to itself for name resolution first so that it can resolve names of internal clients as well as external ones. 4. Id like to be able to assign the same ip address from the dhcp pool to the same host for testing purposes when building new servers. I find that configuring the dhcp server to assign the same lease via hostname works better than configuring temporary hostnames. WHAT I've done so far... I already know how to configure dnsmasq to do both the dns and dhcp part of my requirements and that is currently setup and running. except that the server is not looking to itself for name resolution first. Ive used dnsmasq before and in this setup it requires that the dhcp client that runs on the red interface NOT create a new /etc/resolv.conf but instead create that file in some other defined location like /etc/dhcp/resolv.conf dnsmasq can then be configured to look to the other resolv.conf for domains which are not local, and the server looks to dnsmasq for its own name resolution because I've hardcoded its own static internal ip in /etc/resolv.conf using the default dhclient, I can not configure it to NOT replace the /etc/resolv,conf and instead replace some other file. (actually I could get by with just NOT replacing /etc/resolv.conf and I can hardcode the other one, but dhclient just doesnt seem to have this feature.) yes I read the man page! I cant not seem to get any dhcp server Ive used (isc-dhcp-server, and dnsmasq build-in) to properly read the hostname and send the same ip address each time. seems that one of my freebsd clients does not report its hostname to the dhcp server in the way I expect. assume a fqdn of myhost.myinternaldomain.net windows boxes and some unix boxes report to the dhcp server a hostname of "myhost", but my dhcp server couldnt match to a client hostname of "myhost" and serve out the IP I requested. I altered the dhcp server to expect a hostname of the full fqdn, but it didnt match on that either. so what "hostname" does dhclient report when its trying to get an ip address. For security reasons I dont want to use bind. so I looked at using tinydns and dnscache, that sort of worked, but again I couldn't make the dhcp server update the DNS database. dnsmasq works because it is its own dhcp server. so the name server portion automatically reads the dhcp leases database when answering queries. Has anyone else been able to set this up with these requirements? Im stuck taking this server to the "next level" all my internet sharing and such works now, so it isnt a major issue, but I'd to fix it just the same ( if for no other reason than a learning process) Thanks for suggestions ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: portupgrade across NFS
Sergey Matveychuk wrote: Michael Collette wrote: No luck. I was back on 2.0.1 which I upgraded with pkg_delete and pkg_add. Still the exact same error with deleting the /var/db/pkg directory. Let's make it clean. You have /var/db/pkg as nfs mounted? You can't remove /var/db/pkg/portname directory? Got one bad bit of information from my previous post. The problem DOES exist when just performing a pkg_deinstall. Apparently the one test I based my earlier post on wasn't repeatable. The problem is not with the portupgrade script itself. Dug in quite a bit further with this today. When pkg_deinstall calls to pkg_delete a .nfs file is created which is showing as being actively accessed by the ruby process. This file vanishes once pkg_deinstall quits. Due to that file, even attempting a "rm -rf" on that directory will fail within pkg_deinstall. For testing this out, we added a cheap hack to the portupgrade script immediately after the call to pkg_deinstall that just removes the directory once pkg_deinstall has ended. This works, but has no logic or error checking at this point. The pkg_deinstall script does not report that it didn't complete, so the main portupgrade script just keeps on going as though there were no errors. With that being said, what I believe needs to happen in the short term is to have a check within the portupgrade script where if the pkg_deinstall returns successful and the /var/db/pkg directory still exists, delete it. This would be right around line 1721. Obviously the more correct thing to do here would be to correct pkg_deinstall's behavior. That looks like it may be quite a bit more clever to do, thus my recommendation for fixing portupgrade now, and revisit pkg_deinstall later.

Not toast, exactly. Another configuration error, most likely. httpd.conf tells the server which file(s) is/are acceptable as INDEX files. If all your index files were "index.php", for example, and the httpd.conf file (which is new, apparently?) says that only "index.html" files are allowed as INDEX files, you'll get this error every time.

I also don't use ServerAlias directives. Like I said, no expert. Right: that's not from the httpd.conf file itself any longer; it's the httpd-vhosts.conf file, which is called on as an include in the 2.2 version of httpd.conf. In earlier versions, the VirtualHost directives have been moved from the main config file to that include file.

Get the right syntax, and it'll be there. Watch out for "IF" syntax, also. I triple-checked the config to make sure apache is loading the correct config file.

First and foremost, thanks for the reply. On 6/6/06, fbsd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: The php5 port is broken in 6.1. It no longer defaults to activating the php/apache module. Thanks for that. I do appreciate it. This has been covered in great detail on this list in the past 6 weeks which you would have found out if you reviewed the list archives before posting this question. I may have missed a week or two, but the only responses I've seen personally have been "see /usr/ports/UPDATING", which I did. I'm not thrilled with the stock "RTFM" post, but I guess that's par for the course. After downloading the 6.1 version php5 port config files you have to do "make config" and select the apache module. The "make install" will automatically make the correct changes to your httpd-config file for serving up php pages correctly. php5-extensions is not normally needed. I did that. That's pointed out in /usr/ports/UPDATING. Unfortunately, it didn't automatically fix the issue for me. Your other httpd-config problems are due to you using apache22 instead of apache13 which is the rock hard production version of Apache web server. Apache22 is generally considered as the developmental version. I was running 1.3 before my BSD upgrade to 6.1-STABLE. There were security issues with 1.3 that were not resolved at the time of my upgrade. And I assumed with the package changes to PHP5 in 6.1 that going with an updated version of apache as well would be the best method. If you're saying I should revert back to 1.3, should I also revert to an earlier version of PHP5, or is the latest and greatest still best compatible with apache13?

Some things that might help would be to recheck your cabling, replace the IDE cable with a new one, check for and install the latest BIOS update for your computer, tweak BIOS settings like UltraDMA & LBA modes.

RE: Dial Up To ASDL Router
Your post is missing a lot of description. I will try to fill in the missing info. Your general wish is to use your personal mobile phone and connect it to your work provided laptop which is running win/xp and be able to dial a landline phone number to your FreeBSD server which is currently connected to the public internet over a 24/7 ADSL line. You need hardware to do this. The laptop needs a winmodem with a telecom phone line that connects to your mobile phone. If your mobile phone does not have i/o jack which most do not, you are dead in the water. You could still plug the laptop winmodem telecom phone line into any hotel or airport public access port and dial the landline phone number to your FreeBSD server. Your home FreeBSD server would need a separate FreeBSD modem (IE not winmodem) and you would use "user ppp" to answer the incoming call. In this mode your home FreeBSD server would be acting as an gateway LAN box so your dial in connection could have access to your internet connection to public internet. Speed of this laptop/modem to server/modem is limited to 33k under best conditions as 56k is only possible when connecting to ISP which supports 56k. Speed over mobile would be considerable slower. Configuring "user ppp" for dial in support is covered in the install guide at www.a1poweruser.com give it a read for the details. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Richard Collyer Sent: Tuesday, June 06, 2006 12:59 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Dial Up To ASDL Router Hello, I've been given a company laptop which is ok but they dont supply data cards.

Virtual hosts and PHP "downloads": php5 and apache22 on FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE
I upgraded my system from 5.4-RELEASE to 6.1-STABLE last week, and my web server immediately stopped serving PHP pages, where I had no problem doing so before. Instead of processing the PHP code on the server and displaying the result in a browser, browsing to any page containing PHP code resulted in a prompt to download the PHP page as a file. /usr/ports/UPGRADING mentions that PHP has been streamlined and must be recompiled to work with Apache and other packages. After deinstalling, configuring (where applicable), and reinstalling PHP5, php5-extensions, and apache2 to the latest versions, not only were PHP files not being served, but my web server was toast: "Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server." I edited the new apache config file (now located in /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf) with my system information, including a DocumentRoot path. But when I started apache, I got some very peculiar errors: "Warning: DocumentRoot [/www/docs/dummy-host.example.com] does not exist Warning: DocumentRoot [/www/docs/dummy-host2.example.com] does not exist" Not only did I confirm beforehand that I had set the DocumentRoot path, and that apache was using the correct config file... but these "dummy" paths didn't exist in the config file! I learned eventually that a new apache directive splits out virtual host directives to a new include file (/usr/local/etc/apache22/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf). Then I learned after getting a server warning ("NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts") that the syntax has been slightly modified, so that the IP/port value of each VirtualHost specification must match that of the NameVirtualHost directive (i.e., "NameVirtualHost *:80" and ""). Still having trouble though: my "main" site loads properly, but the other virtual hosts aren't. Browsing to any virtual host address other than the default results in either the wrong content or an error. Here's what my httpd-vhosts.conf looks like: NameVirtualHost *:80 ServerName www.SiteA.com ServerAlias SiteA.com *.SiteA.com DocumentRoot /usr/www ErrorLog /var/log/httpd-SiteA-error.log CustomLog /var/log/httpd-SiteA-access.log combined ServerName www.SiteB.com ServerAlias SiteB.com *.SiteB.com DocumentRoot /usr/www2 ErrorLog /var/log/httpd-SiteB-error.log CustomLog /var/log/httpd-SiteB-access.log combined So, what's happening is that SiteA works as expected, but browsing to SiteB brings you to SiteA, or doesn't load at all ("403" error). In addition, I'm back to my original problem, where PHP files are not loading, and browsing to a PHP page prompts the user to download the page as a file. Any help on either the virtual hosts or the PHP download issue would be greatly appreciated.

Plug a standard home phone jack into a standard external modem and plug that into a serial port on the home server, or use an internal modem card that is NOT a software modem (a.k.a. a "Winmodem"). Configure the server to offer a PPP or SLIP connection when the modem is dialed into, and walla! You just became your own dialup ISP. The server is probably already configured as a network gateway with NAT capabilities; if not you'll need that configured too. There is more to it than that, of course, but further detail may be specific to your hardware and circumstances.

It seemed to be answered by someone saying that the command "mount_devfs devfs /your/jail/dir/dev" needed to enter, which in fact does make the jail start working.

Either way, the one killed usually isn't the one using all the memory. > What would cause swap to increase steadily like that? Something not > releasing swap when it's no longer needed? One of two things: 1) You have misconfigured an application to think it has _way_ more memory available than it does, so it just keeps using more and more memory, because you told it that it was OK to do so. 2) You are running an application with a memory leak. Meaning: it allocates memory, then loses track of said allocation and re-allocates it later. Since it lost track, it's no longer using the memory, but can't tell the kernel to release the memory for other applications to use either. This is a bug in the application, not FreeBSD. If you provide the full output of top to the list, I'm sure some problem will jump out for someone on the list. Wait till the system is close to having no swap, then do "top > somefile" and paste the file into your mailer. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

get file
Hi, Is there a way from the console to get a file by http | ftp protocol? Which command should I run to do it? Thanks, Efren Bravo. - Fight back spam!

Have you tried the last (2.1.1) version? I've fixed a few problems and one of them looks like yours. But it's not relate to NFS however. -- Dixi.

vsftpd uploading rate problem
Hi all. I got a wired problem here. The ftp server I use on my laptop is vsftpd. Till now it works quite well, except the low uploading rate. The situation is: a computer could download stuffs from my laptop via vsftpd at a rate of 10M/s. while uploading stuffs to my laptop at a rate of only 300K~400K :( The account used to log in is one of my local accounts, and I have set local_max_rate=0 in /usr/local/etc/vsftpd.conf. I am wondering how this imbalance happens. Does anybody have this problem before? Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance :-) -- Best Regards Yuan, Jue @ www.yuanjue.net ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
[misc] demos/bio/Makefile
Hi all, Well, for me the Makefile in demos/bio was broken, because it wants to link against static libraries of openssl.

ipf blocking packets from proxy servers
Hi list, I have been running FreeBSD servers as firewalls for several years now and recently installed a new 6.1 server (6.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE #1) in the place of a 5.4 box that I had installed last year. Since replacing the box my users have had connection problems with their SOAP applications hosted behind the firewall. The symptoms were applications hanging intermittently and massive delays in transactions (up to 2 minutes or more). I eventually realised that this only happened when the users were using our Squid proxy server so I had our Windows admin bloke change the group policy to allow them to bypass the proxy when connecting to the servers. Problem solved I thought... Wrong, now some of our clients are having the same problems and, guess what, they too are using Squid proxies. I have been doing some digging this morning and noticed the following while running ipmon. 06/06/2006 09:19:41.056085 STATE:NEW 165.165.192.80,65431 -> 196.7.156.157,80 PR tcp 06/06/2006 09:19:41.557534 STATE:NEW 165.165.192.80,52159 -> 196.7.156.157,80 PR tcp 06/06/2006 09:19:42.010889 em0 @1:19 b 165.165.192.80,53088 -> 196.7.156.157,80 PR tcp len 20 48 -S IN OOW 06/06/2006 09:19:42.063731 STATE:NEW 165.165.192.80,63975 -> 196.7.156.157,80 PR tcp 06/06/2006 09:19:42.564807 STATE:NEW 165.165.192.80,54989 -> 196.7.156.157,80 PR tcp The 165.x.x.x IP address is from an ADSL line I was using to see what was happening to my packets (I was the only person using the line so it made tcpdumps etc etc easier to interpret). Now here is an extract from my ipfstat -ni @2 block in quick on em0 all head 1 ... @10 pass in quick on em0 proto tcp from any to 196.7.156.157/32 port = http keep state keep frags group 1 ... @19 block in log quick on em0 all group 1 And finally my question: If rule 10 specifically allows all traffic to 196.7.156.157 on port 80 why are packets being blocked? Sorry if this is an extremely noob question and I have overlooked something obvious. I will of course be researching this in the meantime but if anyone could shed some light on this matter I would greatly appreaciate it.

Re: FreeBSD 6.0, ThinkPad 600, dc0: watchdog timeout - ACPI?
Thanks, Björn. Your information solved this problem, the networking works correctly now. Ah, well, I upgraded my other ThinkPad from 600 to 600E to get the 16M colors.

NFS mounting problem (RPCPROG_MNT: RPC: Timed out)
Hi, I've two Freebsd boxes, One is NFS server which have a valid ip address and the second one is NFS client behind NAT with an invalid IP . On the server side, I've the following configurations: # vi /etc/exports /usr/local/www/data-dist/ripe/graphs 213.217.100.111 # The IP of NAT server /usr/local/www/data-dist/ripe/graphs 127.0.0.1 # this was for the test /usr/local/www/data-dist/ripe/graphs 213.217.100.115 # The IP of the NFS server I can mount localy without any problem: # mount -t nfs 213.217.100.115:/usr/local/www/data-dist/ripe/graphs /mnt or # mount -t nfs 127.0.0.1:/usr/local/www/data-dist/ripe/graphs /mnt But On NFS cleint I got the following error: # mount 213.217.100.115:/usr/local/www/data-dist/ripe/graph /mnt [udp] 213.217.100.115:/usr/local/www/data-dist/ripe/graph: RPCPROG_MNT: RPC: Timed out [udp] 213.217.100.115:/tmp/test: RPCPROG_MNT: RPC: Timed out ...
