Mouse fails with ACPI enabled 8-B4
If I boot with ACPI enabled and then either start X or moused the mouse will appear to work for a few moments and then cease to proccess any input (as tested by moused verbose output, xev, and failure of the mouse to move). This happens on 8.0 BETA 4 If I boot without ACPI the mouse works. Any ideas on how to fix? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: reducing size of apache instances
Here's a few you can disable: mod_status, mod_info (both give extra unnecessary info about server) and mod_include (allows include statements in html files). These aren't recommended anyway unless you really need them as they create some level of security concern. mod_userdir is only needed if you are allowing users to have webpages from home directories mod_ssl, only if you're going to use ssl mod_rewrite only if you will be rewriting webpage names to something else mod_auth_basic and mod_auth_digest only if you're going to add http authentication to any of your webpages John Almberg wrote: My Apache 2.2 instances are running about 18 Meg each.

I *don't* know which ones I don't need, if you see what I mean, since I inherited them from the default configuration. I assume that some are critical to the basic operation of Apache. I am hoping I can google a list of these tomorrow. Obviously these I'll have to live with. But what about the set that is left after I remove the ones the system needs, and the ones I need? How do I know which ones I can safely turn off? All I can think of is a trial and error process (i.e., turn them off one by one and see if anything breaks.)

Anyway . . . while I have not tried installing FreeBSD on an SL500 or a T400 either, I suspect support would be decent -- as long as you don't need 3D graphics support good enough for WoW.

Problem is, I know which ones I need, since There is another thing you can try. Judging from the process size you've given it looks like you are not using PHP or a similar Apache module. Also, you didn't specify anything so I assume you are using the default configuration, which operates in prefork mode - MPM_PREFORK, which means a separate process is forked for every request. If all of this is true, you can trivially switch to the worker-threaded MPM in which every Apache process (which will be of comparable size to the one you currently have) will handle a large number of request. In effect, instead of e.g. 50 Apache processes active for 50 connections, you will have 2-3 Apache processes.

Re: reducing size of apache instances
Ivan Voras wrote: There is another thing you can try. Judging from the process size you've given it looks like you are not using PHP or a similar Apache module. Also, you didn't specify anything so I assume you are using the default configuration, which operates in prefork mode - MPM_PREFORK, which means a separate process is forked for every request. If all of this is true, you can trivially switch to the worker-threaded MPM in which every Apache process (which will be of comparable size to the one you currently have) will handle a large number of request. In effect, instead of e.g. 50 Apache processes active for 50 connections, you will have 2-3 Apache processes. Enable WITH_MPM=worker in /etc/make.conf to enable this. I am using PHP, in fact. I've listed all the loaded modules below, and marked the ones I added with an '*'. I need the proxy modules because I use Apache as a front end for Mongrel.

SVN + Apache
Hi all, The only relevance that this has to FBSD is that both Apache and subversion were installed via packages. I've been meaning to get around to enabling SVN so that I can access my repo via HTTPs. However, most of the docs I've found via Sir Google claim that it's likely that I'll have to recompile subversion ( and/or apache ) in order to make it work. Although I have very up-to-date clone-able backups and archives of this particular system, I really don't want to do anything that has the potential of clobbering my current working setup. Can those in the know provide any insight into: - how I can verify whether the necessary components are currently installed - how to identify whether said components were compiled with the appropriate args - a qd howto consisting of a path of least resistance ( or a reference to a confirmed reliable existing howto ) - any caveats and/or things to look for prior to trying to implement it I'm the only one who uses the repository ( at this time ), and currently I access it via SSH. Security isn't an overly major concern at this point, as I will just apply the web server to it's own IPv6 address and filter those who could potentially access it via IPFW :) Cheers!

NFS issues on 8.0-BETA4
Hello, I have a 7.2-RELEASE(i386) server hosting NFSv3. I've installed 8.0-BETA4(amd64) in a VMware 6.5 workstation virtual machine. I cannot sucessfully mount exports from the NFSv3 server on the 8.0-BETA4 client. All works well with 7.2 clients.

First of all, just try it manually, as I mentioned (from FreeBSD live system CD or by using FreeSBIE), e. g. # mount /dev/ad0s1e /mnt/usr Because the installer does not expect /var to exist, and because it does reside on the former / partition which is /mnt/ while installing (as far as I remember), /var cannot be accessed. In this case, / needs to be mounted as /mnt/ and /usr needs to be mounted as /mnt/usr; the problem is: if /var really points at /usr/var, then /mnt/var will point at /usr/var, too, which does not resolve because it exists as /mnt/usr/var during the installation. An idea would be to specify a different path in the partition editor, but not let the installer form an /etc/fstab from this setting. Another idea would be to change the /var symlink on / from /var@ - /usr/var to /var@ - usr/var so that it will work when / is mounted as /mnt/; the result will then correctly be /mnt/var@ - /mnt/usr/var (running an email server on this box runs the risk of 'filesystem full' with a 'small' restricted /var partition , this way the problem is escaped) That's why I prefer to use one big / partition in such settings where I have no chance to reliably determine the future requirements of partition sizes. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
