Apache 1.3 FreeBsd Port missing mod_auth_digest

2005-07-14 Thread Chris Roos

Hi,

I'm not entirely convinced this is the right place for this question as 
it may be an Apache issue rather than FreeBsd/Port issue.  Either way, I 
thought I'd start here first.


I've been running Apache 1.3 from the ports on FreeBsd 5.3R for quite a 
while.  I've even been running it with mod_digest to provide some basic 
password protection.  Unfortunately mod_digest doesn't work with IE. 
This hasn't really been a problem until now.  Now that it is an issue 
I've been looking to enable mod_auth_digest in place of mod_digest as 
this should work with IE too.  The problem is that I cannot find any 
reference of it in my install or in any of the patches applied to the 
Apache 1.3 port; as far as I can tell mod_auth_digest is nowhere to be 
found on my install.  I've also been trying to google for similar 
reports of this problem but currently to no avail.


Does anyone have any information on this?  It could well be the case 
that I'm missing something obvious that I just don't know about so any 
pointers to other resources I might check would also be appreciated.


Thanks in advance,

Chris

According to this: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_auth_digest.html
if you have 1.3.8 or later the files required are included with the rest 
of apache.  They also list it as experimental.


Building it into apache should be as easy as adding the correct options 
to CONFIGURE_ARGS


-Glenn

Ok.  I had already seen the apache page detailing the fact that it 
should already be available in the Apache distribution since 1.3.8, 
which is why I was confused when I couldn't find it.  The problem I have 
now is how would I find out what options are available to be added to 
CONFIGURE_ARGS?  Is this something I would find somewhere in the ports 
info or in the Apache docs?


Thanks for your help,

Chris

You can do make extract in the dir for the port.  Then you can go to the 
work dir, find configure and do ./configure --help

That will give you a list of available options.

That's great thanks Glenn.  I think I've spotted the option I need and 
the source file (mod_auth_digest.c) certainly appears in the work directory.


Cheers,

Chris

No, you should use dump/restore and if it is the root partition you will 
need to edit fstab afterwards.


Can I just double check that the editing of fstab is only applicable if 
my device names change?  During my testing here I have been migrating to 
a secondary disk that eventually becomes the primary.  As such I haven't 
had to change the fstab (both origin and eventually destination are 
device ad0).  When I do this for real however, I will be migrating from 
a single drive to an array so understand that in that case I will need 
to edit fstab to reflect the device change (this should be fine as I 
have had to do this in the past).



--Alex

PS There's a FAQ all about this.  I have no wish to decry the bsdvault 
article you quote, since I haven't read it -- it may even be the same as 
the FAQ.  But if the FAQ or handbook  has a section answering your 
question, then it is always likely to be the best starting point.


http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/disks.html#NEW-HUGE-DISK 

Thanks, I'd already read the faq and the bsdvault procedure is very 
similar in content.  I just wondered if there was any better/other ways 
really..


Thanks for your help,

Re: Migrating FreeBsd installation to another hard drive

2005-07-07 Thread Chris Roos
Thanks for the time taken to detail all of the steps.  I think I am 
doing roughly the same thing except you are going via from _source_ to 
_intemediary_ back to _source_ once the RAID is sorted.  I am going 
straight from _source_ to _destination_.


I may be wrong but do any of your steps below involve writing the 
standard mbr (not the freebsd boot manager) to the drive?


Thanks for your help,

Chris

Hi there, 
I had to do something similar i.e. change RAID levels, there is no need to
install anything. Just use the fixit CD. Here is my procedure : 
Ofcourse you'll have to change disk[slice] names to what suits you. NOTE: I

used tar for the /usr slice as I had some size constraints and therefore
needed some compression ( I could have piped the dump to gzip ofcourse, but
didn't). In my opinion dumprestore is the best procedure. But dd works as
well.

1. boot from CD
2. goto fixit CD
3. create new mount point 
   -- # mkdir /new_mnt

4. mount external drive /new_mnt

7. dump / 
   -- # umount /mnt

   # dump -0au -C 32 -f /new_mnt/root_dump /dev/ar0s1a
8. dump /var
   -- # dump -0au -C 32 -f /new_mnt/var_dump /dev/ar0s1e
9. tar /usr ( or only those subsystems which contain userdata
(dbase,mail,etc)
   -- # mount /dev/ar0s1f /mnt
   # cd /mnt
   # tar czf /new_mnt/usr_tar.tar.gz ./
10.unmount all mounted filesystems 
   -- # umount /mnt

   # umount /new_mnt
11. exit fixit and boot CD
12. power down
13. replace disks
14. boot to RAID config tool
15. set array to RAID0
16. reboot to CD
17. exit to FIXIT
18. erase current disklabel  create new label with one slice

19. read disklabel  note c partition value
20. mount external disk  edit saved slice (step 6)
21. write edited label to disk

Subject: Migrating FreeBsd installation to another hard drive

Hi,

I've recently had the job of moving a FreeBsd installation to another 
hard drive.


After quite a lot of reading I got round to following this article[1] 
using a VMWare FreeBsd instance.  In brief the article uses dump and 
restore to move the data from one mounted partition to another in single 
user mode.  It also suggests that before you do this, you perform a 
minimum install on the destination disk to ensure that it boots fine.


First time round, I did the minimum install and then followed the steps 
(minus the MAKEDEV step as I'm running 5.3R) to backup the data to the 
destination.  This all worked fine.


Second time round, I didn't do a minimum install, rather I just set-up 
the slice and partitions on the destination using sysinstall, and then 
did the dump/restore.  On booting from the destination disk this time, 
nothing happened.  I reasoned that it was because I had no boot manager 
installed and so went ahead and used boot0cfg -B to install the FreeBsd 
boot manager.  The disk now boots; however, I would prefer to use the 
equivalent of the 'Standard - Install a standard MBR (no boot manager)' 
option from sysinstall as FreeBsd is the only OS on the disk and so I 
don't need the option of booting to it or anything else.  I'm guessing 
that I would use fdisk to do this but if so am not entirely sure how. 
In addition, is this safe to perform on a disk with data or would I need 
to go through the dump/restore process again?


One final question is whether the dump/restore process is the best 
approach in this instance?  I have read about using dd but am not 
entirely sure whether this would do what I need?


Thanks in advance for any help,

Chris
