Re: php-cgi 5.3.x and APC 3.1.3
Michael Powell wrote: Joe Auty wrote: Hello, I'm trying to get the APC user cache to work for me... It works with PHP installed as an Apache module, but not as a CGI. I run Apache with the event mpm. This may, or may not be wise, but I've been doing it for a while now and had no problems with it. I also use Xcache so my comments are not APC specific. Since not all of PHP is considered thread safe it is not advisable to run PHP on the event mpm as it is a threaded version. The way around this is to not use mod_php but instead run mod_fcgid.so so PHP can be run as a FastCGI. The problem with mod_fcgid for me is that it doesn't work with the APC cache... From http://www.brandonturner.net/blog/2009/07/fastcgi_with_php_opcode_cache/ : Both mod_fcgid and mod_fastcgi can be told to limit the number of PHP processes to 1 per user. The PHP process can then be told how many children to spawn. Unfortunately mod_fcgid will only send one request per child process. The fact that PHP spawns its own children is ignored by mod_fcgid. If we use mod_fcgid with our setup, we can only handle one concurrent PHP request. This is not good. A long running request could easily block multiple smaller requests. I understand that in order to get this to work one has to add a: FastCgiConfig -maxClassProcesses 1 to their Apache config (for those that use Apache). I've done this, but I'm still not seeing any evidence that the user cache is working. This I do not know about and have never seen, but I do recall floundering around in the beginning and being very confused by the difference between exec'ing PHP code as a CGI as opposed to running it in a FastCGI process. There is a huge difference, with the FastCGI being many times faster. I'm now convinced that FastCGI is running since I'm seeing FastCGI signatures in my logs... I think I've been able to get everything to work though, but I can see why this article above says that performance of what I'm doing (upload progress bar) is not as good. Oh well, I imagine that the general improvements in using FastCGI and PHP CGI will offset this difference. More below... In phpinfo(); you can see this: Server APICGI/FastCGI I'm seeing that... Thanks for posting your example httpd.conf config, it was useful to make sure I had all of my bases covered! My options for PHP build: WITH_CLI=true WITH_CGI=true WITH_APACHE=true WITHOUT_DEBUG=true WITH_SUHOSIN=true WITH_MULTIBYTE=true WITHOUT_IPV6=true WITHOUT_MAILHEAD=true WITH_REDIRECT=true WITH_DISCARD=true WITH_FASTCGI=true WITH_PATHINFO=true Also keep in mind that any time PHP is rebuilt APC will need to be rebuilt too. Thanks! It looks like the with_fastcgi option has been removed from PHP 5.3's make config option list (no sign of it in the Makefile either), but it appears that building with CGI support also builds it with FastCGI support. I'm assuming this FastCGI support is generic and supports both mod_fastcgi and mod_fcgi? This is the confusing part, I'm sure someday I'll want to upgrade to mod_fcgi as soon as it supports the APC (or some other) cache mechanism which I count on for upload progress bars.

Re: Small computer to run a GUI?
well. I went checking out Soekris but couldn't really see if they offer a GUI, the models I looked at didn't have a VGA port though. I was hoping for something about 9 inches square and three inches thick, or smaller. Soekris users consider the lack of VGA to be a feature, since they make the systems smaller and less power hungry. If you want to run X stuff, my advice would be to run a X server on your laptop to make it act like an X terminal, and run the applications on the Soekris over the network. That's how X was designed to be used. Works great. If you really really want to run X on your Soekris, you could plug in a mini-PCI video card, which I see you can get for about $45, but I'd recommend not running an X server process on your server hardware.

Re: Small computer to run a GUI?
I was more thinking of something without a monitor, keyboard or mouse. I want to put it in a cupboard and not worry about it. Sounds like a Soekris. Their net5501 has a 500MHz CPU, 512MB RAM, serial ports, Ethernet, USB, compact flash, SATA, mini-PCI, and no video. It runs FreeBSD. The case is quite small, 6.7 x 11.5 x 1.3, but has room for a 2 SATA disk if you want to add one. If you want wifi you can plug in a mini-PCI card. They make it quite clear that their market is OEMs and they do not offer software support, although there is a friendly community that is helpful if you ask sensible questions. Many people run FreeBSD on them. With a case and wall wart it's under $300. They have slower cheaper boards, if that's all you need.

Can a foreign drive's mirrors be prevented from joining identically named mirrors?
Say I have two systems with two hot-swappable drives and have created mirrors for root, var, and swap across those two drives on each system. If I take a drive from one system and insert it into the other system, it appears that the mirror providers on that drive automatically insert themselves into the identically named mirrors on the system where the drive has been inserted. What's worse, they may also become recognized as the mirrors with the most recent data, even though they came from a different system and should in fact be immediately flagged as dirty and synchronized with the mirrors on the receiving system. The only solution we've found is that drives being inserted into an existing system should be thoroughly wiped first. The problem with that is we cannot be certain a user will follow that guideline. The alternative is to make sure that the mirrors are uniquely named across all systems. So for example instead of having mirrors named root, var, and swap, we could name them root-macId, var-macId, and swap-macId, where macId is a unique ID based on the MAC address of a given system's Ethernet interface. This is a 100% solution but it would likely solve most of the problems we've encountered. My question is whether there is any other way to accomplish this? We do not want the mirrors on a drive being inserted into another system to automatically added to the receiving systems identically named mirrors. ___ 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
Does FreeBSD run on 32-bit sparcs (V8)?
When I look at FreeBSD distribution I only see sparc64 (which I guess implies V9). When I look at LLVM compiler sources they define V8 as a 32-bit target and V9 as 64-bit target.

FreeBSD is my firewall running PF. I have rebooted my entire environment hundreds of times, and non of my Windows or Linux VMs will complain or boot into a repair/single user mode. The background to this problem is because the FreeBSD root filesystem (UFS) is not journaled and for some reason I cannot set my root partition to be UFS+SoftUpdates. Well I'd say that's clearly not the problem since so many of us don't have your issues. SU is disabled on / for a reason. I highly doubt you actually want to enable this, but you can if you adjust the FS when it isn't mounted eg boot from fixit cd. At any rate, we are in the year 2010, most modern operating systems and databases and able to survive an unclean shutdown without booting into single user mode and file system/data corruption. FreeBSD has defaulted to background checking on SU FS's for the better part of 10 years. What version are you running? What data corruption did you have and what does databases have to do with it? Also DB's that are unexpectly killed can have consistency problems regardless of what FS it writes to and OS happens to be running it. I love FreeBSD, and have been a user since 2.x User as in you saw it running a couple times? So on to your actual issue instead of all the bs, what does your /etc/rc.conf say? Specifically, what is the boot failing on? If you really want the disk/partition/slice journaled, you can do so with gjournal or ZFS offers an even better copy-on-write system. If the install is only running a fw, the zfs is probably overkill though. -- Adam Vande More ___ 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
