Re: FreeBSD MySQL Performance Tunning suggestions???
Hi,
FreeBSD 7 should offer much better performance for MySQL. The FreeBSD
kernel developers have found ways to relieve some of the kernel
bottlenecks which permit multithreaded applications to operate much
better.
Regards,
Antony.

Hi Guys
I need some performance tuning suggestions/help from you.
At my job, I am going to build a Web Server with
1. FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE amd64
2. Apache 2.2.8
3. PHP 4.4.8 (or may be PHP5, what do you suggest?)
Server's hardware configuration is as follow:
2 x Quad Core Xeon E5450 3.0GHz,2x6MB,1333FSB
16GB (8x2GB Dual Rank DIMMs) 667MHz FBD
6 x 450GB SAS 15k 3.5" HD Hot Plug
PERC 6/i, Integrated Controller Card x6 backplane
PE2950 III C5 MSS R10 Add-in PERC 5/i / 6/i 1 S
TCP/IP Offload Engine 2P
Broadcom TCP/IP Offload Engine functionality (TOE) Not Enabled
For FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE amd64 Which MySQL 5.0 would be used ?
1. FreeBSD 7.x (x86_64)
or
2. FreeBSD 6.x (x86)
I have done some googling and made these configuration files for
Apache and
MySQL?

As the vmware driver does not seem to exist as a package, compile it from ports: cd /usr/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-video-vmware make install clean And you should be on your way. However I would suggest you create (and possibly edit) your own xorg.conf file: X -configure (This make get you a blank screen on vmware, it does it to me everytime, in this case just ssh in from somewhere else and reboot the machine, or press CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE and blindly type 'reboot') Test your settings with X -configure /root/xorg.conf.new Edit the file and make any necessary changes, and move it to the final location: mv /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf You can get more info on all the above in the X11 chapter of the FreeBSD Handbook, in the configuration section: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Adobe does not allow it to be crippled as conspiracy-theory Ted > claims. Nonsense. Adobe doesen't have any control over the matter. Others have already detailed the difference in speed between the HP PCL and PostScript implementations on HP Printers. I listed all of the ways that HP tries to discourage customers from buying PostScript, and encourage them to go with PCL. Most of these, such as marketing and pricing, and the amount of ram included with the base model PostScript add-on, Adobe has absolutely no control over. Adobe doesen't support their PostScript implementation in an HP Printer, HP does. And the PPDs supplied by HP are different than the ones Adobe supplies from their own website. You also forget that Microsoft went with true type rather than Adobe Type Manager, and many people have complained about the poorly implemented PostScript drivers that come standard with Windows. So not just HP but Microsoft also "cooperates/competes" with Adobe. There's more ways to tank an implementation that just failing to properly implement ie. There's many ways that tech companies have tried over the years (and succeeded at times) to sabotage their competitors. You have a very naieve view of the tech industry. > All genuine Postscript printers ship with similar CPUs, > originally Motorola 68000 family, for this very reason. > And the fact this makes it a lot easier to port has nothing to do with it..NOT!

One thing I've come up with is the fact that I have CPUTYPE?=athlon-mp in /etc/make.conf on both 6.3 and 7.0. I understand that this optimizes compilation for that CPU but can this potentially cause problems? Is this a possible cause of strange problems? All my ports are built from source rather than from packages so are built with this option.

I used to have a "Powered by FreeBSD" button with the BSDie on a mailing list server that I'd set up for the PTA for my daughter's school in Texas. I figured that I could handle any complaints or questions that I got about it. But then I heard one of the teachers explain to other staff that if she ever was shopping and the final price of items totaled up to $6.66 she would make sure to add another item so that she wouldn't have to be part of a transaction involving 666. (I guess she never would have been a customer of Demon Internet in the UK which started out with the telephone prefix for their dial-up pool being 666). At that point, I decided that my problem wouldn't be with responding to complaints and queries, but the problem would be with the people who never complained directly to me, but who shunned the service or complained about me. So now there is just a text link without the button. Whether you want to call this self-censorship or not, I think that I made the right decision. In the same way that when I volunteer at the school, I don't where controversial T-Shirts. (Though who would have thought that my "Friends don't let friends use Windows" shirt would cause complaints!) So I agree with your point. If you like the old BSDie, use it. If you like the new logo, use that. If you want something else, you are free to roll your own.

intrusion? find is thrashing my disk every time I boot.
I'm really no security expert. I don't leave the system up 24/7, and I'm on a US DSL connection with a bunch of windows boxes. Seems to be a recent phenomena, I've started experiencing disk thrashing I can hear across the room. ps and top report cvslockd has been responsible for the thrashing (which usually occurs at a specific time of day (~1 am MST)), but now, find is doing the thrashing at boot every time (within the last week at least). Needless to say, I haven't changed the system in any way during that week. On windows, I'd just assume this to be normal behavior, but on FreeBSD, it's got me worried... I presume the security section of the manual has a good into to detecting intruders, but first I'm interested if there is a legitimate reason for find to be torturing my disk. I don't run much on my system - apache, cvs, portsnap, ssh, that's about it.

Problem with makeinfo when I'm building devel/autoconf-262
Hello. I'm running FreeBSD 5.5 and trying to build
autoconfig 2.62 from ports (due iirc to an update to the
autotools port in mid-May). Everything goes fine until we
reach the doc directory. Unfortunately then the texinfo
source upsets makeinfo. I don't understand texinfo source
and I can't figure out how to fix it. Can anyone give me
some advice? TIA. Here is the (trimmed but still
somewhat lengthy) output of the build:

The market for printers is a very competitive one. Any manufacturer has to factor in the cost of the base machine, plus addition components, so as to compute a selling price that will be competitive with his competition. A manufacturer could easily load up his product will all the RAM he wanted; however, if he could not sell the product, or at least a sufficient number of them to turn a profit, then that effort would be for naught. Personally, I have not found the secondary RAM market to be all that expensive anyway.

Example: Database caches are good to reduce disk I/O and so to increase performance, but you will not increase caches if your system is already paging heavily (= your RAM is too small). There is no need to change any parameter unless a) its current setting restricts your performance, and you have sufficient resources to raise the limit, or b) its current setting allocates more resources than needed here, which could be used better at some other place.

Storing a copy of queued mail?
Hi, I have a 6.3 system running as a mail server, offering imap, pop3 and smtp. The smtp server can be used from anywhere because all users are required to authenticate with SMTP AUTH and it supports TLS. This is using sendmail 8.14.2. What I would like to do is have any mail submitted to the SMTP server to get automatically stored into an imap mailbox (I'm using mbox format currently) for that user, preferably based on the username they supplied to authenticate, but it could also be by the 'mail from:' field. Previously I have been configuring the users mail clients to do this, but they have proven completely unreliable and of course they may use different clients at different locations etc. Obviously having the server do this is still not 100% reliable, since they could still possibly use a different SMTP server, but I'm not going to worry about that currently as it's unlikely to happen often. It's sort of an unusual thing to have the MTA do, so I'v not been able to find anything about how I can get this to happen.. I thought maybe there might be a way to get the sent mail to be processed through procmail or something first.. Any thoughts on the best way to make this happen?

If thats ok then cd /usr/port/java/jdk16 make Follow the instructions Also see http://www.freebsd.org/java/ 5.x has just been announce as no longer supported by ports though, although support wont be removed, just not updated and checked as changes are made. You will need a current jdk to compile it though and need to get the source files manually. To get a jdk to compile it I'd recommend installing the package from http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/downloads/java.shtml Although you could install one of the linux-sun-jdk* ports if you prefer. you can pkg_delete the old jdk once you have the new one installed.

Apparently he had been asked too many times for his taste if the FreeBSD project had something to do with devil worship. A long drawn out argument ensued but core being core got their way. Core then started claiming Beastie wasn't a logo, he was a mascot and that it why we needed a logo (despite the fact that Beastie has been used as a logo for years) As a peace offering they tried the contest idea. The submissions were so crappy they extended the contest deadline. Finally they got a submission that they decided was OK and that "won" the contest. The FreeBSD community was not allowed to see the other entrants. It was your basic star chamber decision.

As its not in 6.3 (sorry didnt think to check if it was before answering,) you could give it a go manually. http://www.clearchain.com/wiki/Wpi is the maintainers website for it but as its down at the moment, I'm not sure what the status of it on 6.x In 7.x its in the distro though.
