Hi Annelise,
It seems you are running mergemaster with a new kernel but with the old
make(1) binary across a major release update. Since part of the update
process spawned by mergemaster depends on `make' and the `/usr/share/mk'
files, you have to installworld before you can use the new megemaster
script.
The pre-buildworld mode of mergemaster (`mergemaster -p') should run
fine even with an old userland and old `/usr/share/mk' files. But you
should install everything before you run a full mergemaster update of
all files in `/etc'.
Right you are. Thanks. Now I understand what I was reading in UPDATING.
Annelise

It's running FreeBSD 5.5 or so. What to do next? Annelise ___ Hmm.. Can it connect to the outside world at all itself? Has the network changed at all recently? Did the server restart at all and if so are the firewall rules (if any) permitting external traffic? You could check the apache logs to see if any external connections are getting through to the box at all, too. Is the lynx test connecting from the same box to itself? or from another FreeBSD box..? From the same box to itself. What about from other boxes 'inside' your domain? -- Also, what Chris said would cover most of these. :) Cheers, Mark Chris wrote: Sounds like a (probebly external) firewall issue. Just because pings get through, doesn't mean the http requests are. No firewall on my machine. No, but there are (hopefully :) Stanford firewall/s between you and the outside world. Might they have upgraded policy about allowing inbound port 80 connections to boxes not known/expected to be running servers? I'd run ngrep or tcpdump on the console and double-check that the packets are actually making it to the server. Also, do a sockstat -4 and make sure it's listening on the approprate IP. Thank you both-- sockstat -4 show that it's listening on *:80, which is right. Neither tcpdump (assuming I'm reading it correcting) nor httpd-access.log shows any tcp packets at all getting through except when lynx is run from the machine on which apache is running after Sept 12 at 2:12 a.m. Thus, I assume packets are not getting to the server, except when requested from the local machine. Sounds like your machine is setup ok, but inbound tcp setup packets are apparently getting blocked upstream. email and ftp are working--and I can log into the machine remotely-- so stuff is getting out and in. tcpdump shows a lot of other activity, Specific like 'tcpdump -pn -i $iface tcp port 80' quells other noise. So, I'm stumped. Annelise Ok, ping and DNS look fine. I (also) can traceroute your box this far: 14 bbrb-isp.Stanford.EDU (171.64.1.155) 193.489 ms 193.562 ms 195.603 ms 15 * * * 16 * * * 17 * * * 18 * *^C I don't know whether you allow inbound traceroutes? but the question now is, how many routers between you and and bbrb-isp.Stanford.EDU ? Can you show us a 'traceroute bbrb-isp.Stanford.EDU' from your machine? This might sound like an odd test, but try configuring it to sit on a port other than 80 (8080, for example) and seeing if you get the same problem there. Cheers, Mark If you're thinking what I'm thinking, 8080's just as unlikely to work :) cheers, Ian I think port 80 is being filtered. I have started talking to the admins. The traceroute looks like this-- andrsn 2:23PM ~ % traceroute bbrb-isp.Stanford.EDU traceroute to bbrb-isp.Stanford.EDU (171.64.1.155), 64 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 goz-srtr-vlan910.Stanford.EDU (171.66.112.1) 0.610 ms 0.571 ms 0.711 ms 2 * bbra-rtr.Stanford.EDU (172.20.4.1) 1.093 ms * 3 * * * 4 * * * and so forth indefinitely.

FreeBSD Book for New Users Available in PDF Format
The book I wrote for users new to FreeBSD and Unix-- FreeBSD: An Open Source Operating System for Your Personal Computer-- is out of print now (although DeamonNews may have a few copies) and no longer available on Amazon, although they may still be listing the first edition. Many people have written to thank me for providing an introductory book for new users. This book is based on versions 4.1-4.11 of FreeBSD and doesn't cover 5.x or 6.x at all. But I continue to get requests for it. So it's available in pdf format on http://andrsn.stanford.edu/FreeBSD/introbook/ It's still copyrighted (I own the copyright) and so is available for personal use, not reprint. But feel free to download and print. Let me know if it doesn't work.
