Torrentflux and Zabbix Apache Include files??
Hi guys, I am trying to migrate over from Linux to FreeBSD and although have been using BSD for a few months now I really enjoy it and it's amazing ability to be light yet powerful and secure at the same time. Not to mention the UFS2 and ZFS filesystems which knowing UFS and ZFS from Solaris really rock!! Now am a first time user for Zabbix which came highly recommended; but Torrentflux I have moved between Linux machines quite a bit without any problem. My issue for both of these ports is that I'm in need of configuring Apache Include config files for them but having no luck in doing so. I'm not really used to the native BSD Apache config as with Linux the httpd.conf or apache2.conf file is very different (similar to case to Bind9 too). Anyhow, I decided to use my standard Linux config file: Alias /torrentflux /opt/torrentflux Directory /opt/torrentflux Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride Limit IfModule mod_dir.c DirectoryIndex index.php /IfModule /Directory of which kept spitting out Permission Denied errors?? On first glimpse one can already see that the alias and Directory statements don't point to the port!! The ports path is /usr/local/www/data/tf. I have tried pointing it to the port but also get the same error?? The instance of Torrentflux in /opt is a migrated one from Linux. This is in the Apache error log file: [Sun Jun 06 14:41:07 2010] [error] [client 192.168.1.110] client denied by server configuration: /opt/torrentflux/ it doesn't really explain much at all.. apart from the client 192.168.1.110 which is a reverse proxy using Squid. I attempted to modify the file as I found a working Include file for use with Drupal5 which I also have on the system. So the modification is like so: Alias /torrentflux /opt DocumentRoot /opt Directory /opt Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride Limit #AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all # IfModule mod_dir.c #DirectoryIndex index.php # /IfModule /Directory IfModule php5_module AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps IfModule dir_module IfModule mod_dir.c DirectoryIndex index.php index.html /IfModule /IfModule /IfModule #/Directory Oh clump!!! Which I've just modded to /opt/torrentflux for the Alias and the same for the Directory directive too I can't believe I missed that :-O It works now finally but is asking for a MySQL database instance which is easy!!! Few. Now for Zabbix as I haven't got anywhere that actually gives the Apache config? I downloaded the PDF manual for it which doesn't actually even tell you which URL to go for the main page so how do I get that info or will I need to hack this one out like Torrentflux??

The only thing I don't get with FreeBSD ports is why there aren't template files for doing things like this, as people like me with not much experience in the FreeBSD world have to really struggle. I guess one could say the same about Solaris which doesn't give you ANY config for some software such as Bind which means you need to either grab an 'already configured' version from Linux or build the config files up from scratch which is pretty time consuming!! I mean coming off of two weeks of severe fatigue it's taken me 2 days to configure: Net-SNMP Cacti Torrentflux Squid in Jail Zabbix A radio station comprising of Darkice, Icecast2, Drupal5 and xmms2 as the base audio core Logwatch on 2 servers Munin and a bunch of other stuff that I can't recall now which I'm thinking if I was work I'd have to have done that in half a day as I already got

There are plans to have every mod_* port install a file in
${APACHEETCDIR}/Includes as mod_${AP_NAME}.conf.sample which contain
the LoadModule line and some relevant default config. All you'd need to
do to active it is cp it to mod_$name.conf and the default httpd.conf
will pick it up.
Thus cleanup up a lot of Makefiles and pkg-plist shenanagins while
hopefully being self documenting for the module.

Re: Torrentflux and Zabbix Apache Include files??
Just in response to the there are other better web servers then Apache comment! What are they?? I mean I always use Apache although I do know of light_http and I have tested the Sun Java Web Server once which I felt was pretty awsome but don't know if supports virtual hosting or can be used for commercial web serving either which is something I would really like to investigate! I guess it's similar to ISC's Bind. There are many other DNS servers out there all with different strengths and weaknesses but the difference between the most popular amongst the general folk and what's better for large scale enterprise clustered environments.

Manually registering dependencies for ports
Hello, I've been wondering about something: When I write a script or webapp that needs some port to run, like a perl module, I install the needed port and life is good (tm). A year later when I've completely forgotten about the script I go do some spring-cleaning of the ports on the server, and I see some perl module that doesn't have any dependencies, and delete it. Fast forward a few days when I discover the script doesn't work anymore, cue face-palm, remove bullet from foot, etc. Is there some way I can register a dependency to prevent this ? Like adding a flag to an installed port to say something outside of the ports system depends on this along with a user specified comment string. A system like that could result in something like this: pkg_delete -x p5-something pkg_delete: p5-something cant be uninstalled because: somescript.pl uses this module, for the love of everything good do not delete it Is something like this already implemented, or does anyone have suggestions to where I might begin if I want to make this ? Am I the only FreeBSD admin absent-minded enough to have this problem ? :) Best regards Thomas Steen Rasmussen PS: I know that this kind of hand-holding is uncommon in FreeBSD. We allow all kinds of foot-shooting, but a safeguard like this would be a nice improvement to an (IMO) already excellent ports system. ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Doug Well, in my mind, when I sent the message, I was somewhat sure it would work, at least that it would pass some kind of quick test. What I am not sure is whether it would introduce some weird side effect, and after an excess of installing and uninstalling other ports, that it might mysteriously disappear or otherwise corrupt the system.

OK, after that appropriate chastising, let me try again. This time I did test it. So, suppose you have a script xxx that uses port yyy. So this will work: echo xxx /var/db/pkg/yyy/+REQUIRED_BY mkdir /var/db/pkg/xxx touch /var/db/pkg/xxx/+CONTENTS On the other hand, this will cause programs like pkg_info and pkg_version to get out of sorts. And I guess if you use programs like port-upgrade (which I don't), who knows what damage this might cause. So --- this is what I would do. If I had a set of scripts that I wanted to install, I would write my own local port whose job is to install the scripts, and which lists the needed dependencies as RUN_DEPENDS. ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: Manually registering dependencies for ports
Hello,
I've been wondering about something: When I write a script or webapp that
needs some port to run, like a perl module, I install the needed port and
life is good (tm). A year later when I've completely forgotten about the
script I go do some spring-cleaning of the ports on the server, and I see
some perl module that doesn't have any dependencies, and delete it. Fast
forward a few days when I discover the script doesn't work anymore, cue
face-palm, remove bullet from foot, etc.
Is there some way I can register a dependency to prevent this ? Like
adding a flag to an installed port to say something outside of the ports
system depends on this along with a user specified comment string. A
system like that could result in something like this:
pkg_delete -x p5-something
pkg_delete: p5-something cant be uninstalled because: somescript.pl uses
this module, for the love of everything good do not delete it
Yeah, there is. If you don't want to make a local port for your
script/program with the module listed as a dependency, then don't muck
about +REQUIRED_BY and friends -- that's a pain. Instead, you can use
a package requirements procedure -- a script or program that is
executed before installation/deinstallation, and if it returns
non-zero exit status, the installation/deinstallation aborts. You can
read about it in pkg_create(1) (look at the -r flag), and
pkg_delete(1), of course. For example, say you have a script called
/home/foo that requires a port /usr/ports/devel/bar. Add something
like the following script as /usr/ports/devel/bar/pkg-req:
#!/bin/sh
if [ x$1 = x ]; then
exit 1;
fi
if [ x$2 = xINSTALL ]; then
exit 0;
elif [ x$2 = xDEINSTALL ]; then
if [ -f /home/foo ] ; then
echo /home/foo requires this package; aborting deinstallation;
use
-f to override
exit 1
else
exit 0
fi
else
exit 1
fi
When you rebuild and reinstall devel/bar, this script will be added as
/var/db/pkg/bar-1.0/+REQUIRE, for example. You can add it manually if
bar-1.0 is already installed, and it will take effect when pkg_delete
acts on bar-1.0, even without rebuilding.
Obviously, you can make this more elaborate: it could examine a list
of dependent programs contained in a file that you can edit, and check
for each one of them in your PATH, or in specified places. You could
edit this list at any time, and the +REQUIRE script would still work.
You can keep the script in a location other than
/usr/ports/devel/bar/pkg-req, just by using something like:
.if${.CURDIR:M*/usr/ports/devel/bar*}
PKGREQ=insert full path to script here
.endif
in /etc/make.conf, because /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk will use PKGREQ
along with the -r flag in the do-package target.
You are always free to tie a string around your finger. Just don't
tie it too tightly.
Regards,
b.

That is, in the do-package target when making a package, and in the
fake-pkg target when installing a port.
