Re: Virtual Hosts Subdomains
2012/3/16 David Hughes dghughe...@googlemail.com Hi all, Forgive me if this is slightly off-topic, but I wonder if I could trouble you for some advice about setting up website subdomains with Apache. I currently have a website up and running on a jailed VPS; I've been trying to set up subdomains so that one might navigate to a certain area of the site by using a URL of the form blog.mywebsite.net rather than mywebsite.net/blog. I've tried reading the official Apache documentation and a number of tutorials that I've found online, but nothing I've tried has worked so far. Do Virtual Hosts behave differently if they're within a jail? Or do I need some sort of DNS registration for subdomains? I've been trying to figure it out by myself, with little success so far - I'm quite new to this. If you have control of your DNS for mywebsite.net just add a CNAME for blog.mywebsite.net and add a virtual server to your apache configuration. I'm assuming that you control your DNS and your apache server. More subdomains would requier repeating the process. Not much help without a bit more info on your installation. ed Thanks for your help, David __**_ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/**mailman/listinfo/freebsd-**questionshttp://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-** unsubscr...@freebsd.org freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org ___ 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

I've since seen Frank Shute advise how to csup from 8.2-S to RELENG_9_0 and in your case that's likely the easiest way to go. Sorry about the time difference - not much I can do about that... :-) As you see, you got exactly the same error I got with BETA1, and for the same reason - bsdinstall isn't running newfs on your existing partitions before trying to extract the distribution. I thought that was going to be fixed before release, but clearly not yet. It really needs the newfs toggle option of sysinstall/sade before it'll be useful as sysinstall. The docs are very much a work in progress. Even sysinstall requires you to at least enter the mountpoints for your existing partitions (within a slice); they're needed for install and of course to build /etc/fstab. In my case, wanting to preserve /home, seems I'll have to NOT supply a mountpoint for that partition in order for it to be left alone, and then add it into fstab afterwards, probably having to merge any newly created user there from /usr/home, revert the symlink etc. Messy. Did you try running sysinstall (or sade), just to do the slicing + partitioning / newfs'ing from Live CD mode, only on DVD1 I guess? In your case I think a source upgrade and building is probably the way to go. In my case, my 8.2 is on another slice (s4), but I want 9.0 on s2, over an existing 7.4-RELEASE, because that slice has enough space for a decent ongoing 9.x system, and because I'd hoped to contribute to debugging bsdinstall - but then I moved and had no net access for nearly a month. Still, I'm persisting with that plan and I'll keep hassling until this regression in functionality is fixed, for 9.1 now I guess. The third time is the charm! I was successful (and am now running 9.0-PRERELEASE!) with the upgrade of this older Dell laptop. The first (failed attempt) was from 8.2-S to 9.x anything (turned out to be RC1 at the time). This was a source upgrade (csup/buildworld/installworld) but failed during the compilation of the kernel. At this point I decided to just grab the DVD1 and install over my 8.2-S since I was not invested in anything on the disk (although I had csup'd the ports tree and was running Xorg successfully at that point). The DVD1 ISO install of 9.0-RC1 was unsuccessful due to the oddness of the bsdinstall program as you describe above. At about this time RC1 was transitioning to RC2, so I decided to grab the bootonly RC2 ISO and yesterday ran into the same bsdinstall issues. So I was forced to try the source upgrade again, hoping that by this time the kernel compilation problem had been fixed. Well, evidently it was, because the csup/buildworld/installworld method worked like a charm and I am now happily running 9.0-PRERELEASE. Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. I am going to try to avoid using bsdinstall like the plague and I advise others to do likewise, at least until it becomes more mature. It seems to me that the inclusion of the bsdinstall program as the default installer in 9.0 is illadvised at best. Amen. I share that opinion. I have never had problems or even been confused with the old installer and have used it since the beginning. I have heard that pcBSD has a great new graphic installer and thought it was going to be included in releng_9 but it seems as though it isn't. I understand that you can use it for FreeBSD through the pcBSD dvd but haven't looked at it. If anyone likes it and has a link to some basic docs, it would be great if you would share them.

Bidirectional traffic control with PF and altq or dummynet
I have been using PF for several years now and used IPFW previous to PF that I've grown more and more fond of. I now need to manage bidirectional traffic I have used Dummynet before to do similar things but it is my understanding that Altq can only manage outgoing traffic although I find the occasional example of it managing incoming like one to limit window's email assuming that I'm reading it properly. My questions are: Am I correct in saying that Altq can not manage bidirectional traffic? if not I understand the dummynet can be used with pf and if so does anyone know of a howto to get me started? I would rather not switch to IPFW right now.

I made no kern configuration changes to find that the hal is from contrib. Is there nothing else I should do? Thanks, Well, I have only tested this on the eeepc and can confirm it works. Maybe different atheros chipset have other problems not directly related to the hal version. You do not need to do anything more that what is shown in the page: untar, replace the existing files, recompile / install kernel, reboot. If you got no errors during the kernel compilation phase, you can safely assume you did everything correctly, and the problem lies elsewhere. At least there was a ray of hope for the time it took to compile the kernel. Ed: I took recompiled and got the same issue. If I use the LATEST mad distro I get some compile bugs (ath_desc_status was moved into ath_desc structure in ah_desc.h) which I can't completely work around (apparently the API into the HAL has changed as well). What I'm trying to do is look at the Linux driver and understand the newer API in order to get past this compile issue and see if this works. Otherwise I believe we are SOL. Does anyone know if the CURRENT contains an updated ath HAL AND driver for support of newer PCIe based chipsets? If I get it to work I will let you know... Ok the trick is not to get it from the madfi project. Get it from the author directly! If you grab: http://people.freebsd.org/~sam/ath_hal-20080528.tgz Copy the contents into the src/sys/contrib/dev/ath/* and recompile, you should now see ath attach properly to the your NIC card.

You do not need to do anything more that what is shown in the page: untar, replace the existing files, recompile / install kernel, reboot. If you got no errors during the kernel compilation phase, you can safely assume you did everything correctly, and the problem lies elsewhere. At least there was a ray of hope for the time it took to compile the kernel.

If you got no errors during the kernel compilation phase, you can safely assume you did everything correctly, and the problem lies elsewhere. At least there was a ray of hope for the time it took to compile the kernel. Ed: I took recompiled and got the same issue. If I use the LATEST mad distro I get some compile bugs (ath_desc_status was moved into ath_desc structure in ah_desc.h) which I can't completely work around (apparently the API into the HAL has changed as well). What I'm trying to do is look at the Linux driver and understand the newer API in order to get past this compile issue and see if this works. Otherwise I believe we are SOL. Does anyone know if the CURRENT contains an updated ath HAL AND driver for support of newer PCIe based chipsets? If I get it to work I will let you know... Ok the trick is not to get it from the madfi project. Get it from the author directly! If you grab: http://people.freebsd.org/~sam/ath_hal-20080528.tgz Copy the contents into the src/sys/contrib/dev/ath/* and recompile, you should now see ath attach properly to the your NIC card. Thanks go to my friend jkim for pointing this out since he has a similar notebook/chipset and runs CURRENT successfully. I tried using CURRENT ath but there is to much vap support in it and it turned out the 7.0-RELEASE driver works. Now ath attaches properly and I'm going to test it out! (this is at least much further than a bad attach status code from the HAL).
