Re: apache's mod_log_sql from ports

Unfortunately, it's giving some grief. As you can tell from below, I'm using the apache+mod_ssl and mysql41-server ports, whereas mod_log_sql seems to prefer plain Apache and MySQL 3.23. Is there a way to get mod_log_sql integrated with my current setup? Do I have to edit any of the information in the ports tree entry for mod_log_sql to reflect these newer versions Apache and MySQL? Finally, am I better off using the generic compile/install instructions on the mod_log_sql website? The way this is supposed to work, you should be able to put: WITH_MYSQL_VER= 41 APACHE_PORT=www/apache13-modssl into /etc/make.conf to make the ports do what you want. Most ports depending on Apache or MySQL will respect those. Unfortunately the www/mod_log_sql port is not configured to play ball. While it will obey the APACHE_PORT setting, unfortunately it is hardwired to use mysql323-client -- which could well be because it doesn't work with any other MySQL version. Try www/mod_mylo instead.

As others have mentioned, FollowSymLinks is not an Option you should

all of your user areas are going to be under

straight there:

Note the importance of using

I would agree with this if the goal is to be able to restore a busted server. If the goal of the backup is merely to archive DATA, then this isn't true. Of course, it's important to understand that archiving data and backing up the server are two different things. With a server backup the goal is to create a restore set that allows you to come back from a flat server with a minimum amount of effort and time. With a data archive there is no goal to create a restore set - instead you want to get the data centralized and put to a medium that you have a ghost of a chance of being able to read in 10 years. (and that ain't Arcserve, my friends) And there's actually a *third* possible goal, which is quick recovery of accidentally deleted (or overwritten, etc.) user data. UFS2 filesystem snapshots are a remarkably easy way to provide this. And then there's RAID, which doesn't solve any of these problems, but can help you get back up fast after losing a disk. Each of these goals has a different best solution, and in some cases the solution even depends on the details of the environment.

Furthermore on digging the manpages (for puc) I found that this card is in the
supported list of HW cards and has the following entry in
/sys/dev/puc/pucdata.c

Mounting smbfs
Familiar with Webmin way of mounting smbfs type file systems on our Linux boxes, I tried it with one of the FreeBSD 5.3 machines. It works fine, but when rebooted, it sits waiting for a password. After investigating a bit on the web I found that FreeBSD is uses the /etc/nsmb.conf file for configuration and in that file I find information evidently setup by Webmin, for example: [spc2k:backupexec:backup] workgroup=SPCLOCAL password=x addr=192.168.1.13 First, was this properly setup by Webmin? From the comments in the file, it looks good. Since I am at a remote location, I had someone locally just hit Ctrl+C during boot to get back in and look at these things. I go to Webmin and click to mount, but then it wipes out all the mount points except the one I clicked and does not mount that one. From looking around the web, I realize Webmin may not be the best way to manage this, I found this document: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=34247 I am looking for something that can guide me on how to make the entries in my fstab file.

I have a similar setup: a FreeBSD file and backup server with a dedicated hard drive that holds all of my backed up data. I mount the hdd read-write at midnight each night, and I have scheduled tasks that run at 1am on 5 Windows boxes that rsync (over an SSH tunnel) specific directories that I want to keep backed up to the FreeBSD box. I also have a local rsync job that runs on the FreeBSD box that backs up various locations in that system. For the Windows boxes, I use the cwrsync package, which is really just rsync with cygwin. I sort out the directory structure on the backup drive something like this: /[boxname]/[weekly.[0-2]|daily.[0-6]]/[backup_dirs] As you can tell from the directory structure, I run 7 days of incremental backups, and I also keep 3 weeks of full backups. I have scripts that run at 12:15am to rotate the various directories around so that the incremental backups can work. I compress the weekly backups via gzip to conserve hard disk space - I use the entirety of the 300gig drive. At 6:30am, I remount the hdd as a read-only drive. I push around about 20 gigs per night when everything is all said and done, but because this all happens over a local 100mbps network, it isn't that bad. I don't currently have any provision for providing easy, automated restore functionalities to the backups, and this is only onto a single hdd and not on tape or a raid array or anything, but it is good enough for my backup system at home. :-) -- Alan Gerber ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Type of backup---read the man page for rsync-- It basically sync's a copy of whatever you tell it to to someplace that you tell it to. Whole file systems or just one file. Then the next time rsync runs, it copies the files that have changed since the last rsync. This is my explanation...please read the man page for more. Rsync is located in the ports. How many GB's you transfer? Total transfered a night..I don't know. It depends on what is on the machine. A few K on one machine, 70-90M per file on another, etc... All machines are on one LAN so no transfers over T1 yet. All-in-All there is 13G that is stored on the backup server from the 7 servers but not all 13G's are transfered every night. On the Win2k machine, I have cygwin running that I use to rsync the data over every night. I think there is rsync for windows but I liked the command line capabilities that cygwin gives me. All use ssh in the rsync. [...] How do you restore files? rsync them back or scp. I use dump on the tape backup so if an archived file(s)is needed it is restored to a different location then copied to the server where it is needed. __ Do you Yahoo!?

They would completely freak out at the sight of turning on the computer and not seeing the XP startup screen. I'm planning on installing FreeBSD 5.2.1 on the second hard drive in this computer. I've read over the installation guide and don't see anything useful about the bootloader being on the non-first drive. My question is: can I install the FreeBSD bootloader on the second hard drive and use something like GAG on a floppy to boot it? ice I just use the BIOS to change back and forth with the hard drives. Just have to go into the habit of switching back to the first hard drive after a shutdown or reboot for your family. One other thing you can do is put your bootloader of choice on the second drive; that way the bios can either boot to windows or to the loader. If you swap backward and forwards between OSs yourself, a proper loader is more convenient. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Once you get used to the way Bacula works, it's fairly easy to use. You have a central machine that is the director and initiates and coordinates all of the backup jobs. You also have a storage daemon (which can be on the same machine as the director or another machine altogether) which stores all of the files. You can also have multiple storage daemons if you wish. And finally, you run a file daemon on every client you wish to backup. There are clients available for many different OSes. I use it to backup two FBSD boxes and 2 WinXP boxes to file volumes.

Decent partition editor
Hi folks!
I was reorganizing my hard-disks these days to suppress all Linux and
ext2fs stuff - I finally decided I wanted to keep just FreeBSD on my desktop
at home. The 2 disks were scattered in 8 partitions in total and I
decided to
group some of them. That's where the headaches started...
I tried to use fdisk but the syntax is complex - I'm sure it is a
powerful tool
but changing partitions is not a game where you just take a chance: when
your data are gone... they *ARE* gone. I tried also sysinstall but, for some
reason, the partition table was not updated (I just mean to extend the
/home partition, not install a new system).
If you take Windows, Linux or BeOS, they all come with a decent editor.
In the end, I spent more time on the FreeBSD man pages than { shutting down
FreeBSD, booting Zeta (the new BeOS), opening the partition editor,
3 mouse clicks (to unlock the partitions, select the partition type and
commit the changes), moving a slider to the appropriate size, shutting
down Zeta and booting FreeBSD }. It worked like a charm.
Does anyone know if there is such an editor in the ports? I have not seen
any but it would be damn good...
Thanks in advance
Olivier

Re: Decent partition editor
Olivier Gautherot said:
Hi folks!
I was reorganizing my hard-disks these days to suppress all Linux and
ext2fs stuff - I finally decided I wanted to keep just FreeBSD on my desktop
at home. The 2 disks were scattered in 8 partitions in total and I
decided to
group some of them. That's where the headaches started...
I tried to use fdisk but the syntax is complex - I'm sure it is a
powerful tool
but changing partitions is not a game where you just take a chance: when
your data are gone... they *ARE* gone. I tried also sysinstall but, for some
reason, the partition table was not updated (I just mean to extend the
/home partition, not install a new system).
If you take Windows, Linux or BeOS, they all come with a decent editor.
In the end, I spent more time on the FreeBSD man pages than { shutting down
FreeBSD, booting Zeta (the new BeOS), opening the partition editor,
3 mouse clicks (to unlock the partitions, select the partition type and
commit the changes), moving a slider to the appropriate size, shutting
down Zeta and booting FreeBSD }. It worked like a charm.
Does anyone know if there is such an editor in the ports? I have not seen
any but it would be damn good...
Thanks in advance
Olivier
P.S. please copy me on follow ups as I not subscribed to this list.
One of the downfalls to BSD's partitioning system is that it requires its own
special tools. Whenever I need to create or modify FreeBSD partitions and
labels, I just boot an installation CD and use the fdisk and label utilities.

Problems with MySQL and SNORT after Reboot
Dear list,
After a power failure and my computers went down, I have been starting
to get error messages in sys log and on the console:
Dec 28 19:50:52 setiathome snort: database: mysql_error: Can't open
file: 'event.MYI'. (errno: 145) SQL=INSERT INTO event
(sid,cid,signature,timestamp) VALUES ('1', '10', '4', '2004-12-28
19:50:52.597+001')
Im not an expert on SQL and database servers etc and have followed this
guide to make snort work with MySQL:
http://bsdguides.org/guides/freebsd/security/snortreport.php
I didn't find that too hard and it worked when I did it some months ago.
But now after the reboot/restart of the system, the fault that I
described abow have arised. I have had similar power failures before and
that did not create this problem.
And I have checked in /var/db/mysql/snort after the file event.MYI and
its there:
setiathome/var/db/mysql/snort# ls -l event.* 9:35PM
-rw-rw 1 mysql mysql 560343 Dec 28 13:27 event.MYD

So Im clueless to what could be causing the problem that I have. Perhaps

that I could think off.

Subject: PCI RAID for 'gift'
My wife has done the unthinkable this season! She decided to buy me
a new server for our small office, which I am more than excited about,
except for one paramount detail...
It is a respectable 1U server with the following specs from manual:
Dual (2) IntelR XEON 2.8GHz HT Processors=20
533MHz Front Side Bus, Hyperthread
512K L2 Cache=20
Intel E7501 Server Chipset
2GB PC2100 ECC Reg. DDR Memory
Dual (2) 160GB SATA Hard Drives, 8MB Buffer=20
52x Sony CDROM Drive (black)=20
8MB Onboard ATIR RageT XL=20
Intel 10/100Mbps NIC=20
Intel Gigabit NIC
And now the problem:
SuperMicro Board comes with onboard RAID, an Adaptec ICH5R SATA
controller.
If I remember correctly... (somebody please correct me)
The Intel ICH5R supports RAID 0 and RAID 1, and I think their 'Matrix'
technology. Which should allow you to mirror, striped volumes. Should
be able to setup the volume(s) via BIOS. Is any FreeBSD support
necessary??? I have no idea. When I googled I found a few other FreeBSD
threads discussing ICH5R. So you might start with the past posts to see
if anything helps.
HTH
I am not a computer expert, nor an expert with respect to FreeBSD, but
there is really no other operating system that I am willing (nor trust) to
run
on our server. The retailer will not accept return or exchange, so I am
stuck with this thing. Can anyone provide any suggestions to overcome this
problem? Maybe suggest a compatible pci raid card or something to make
the system work in a raid configuration with the existing HD's?
Any and all assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you so very much for you help.

Normal users will be able to read and write whereever their user account permissions let them, but you can set up user-owned areas or even a group-writable area under /var/ftp/ if you want to do that instead.
