We were using a linux OS, but it turns out it was the 100mb switch we had it plugged into. Near as I can tell, the switch and the NIC had trouble auto-negotiating the connection rate. Once we connected the GigE NIC to a GigE switch, the NIC worked beautifully. I'm not sure what "MII read timed out" means, but the OS does see the NIC and appears to be attempting to use it. You may want to check to see if it's the switch you're connecting to rather then the OS you're running.

Re: forum software / hosting
Hi Steve, I've responded to your messages in-line below: Steve Camp wrote: I need to setup a web forum for a friend, and sure could appreciate some pointers. Some of my questions/issues include: 1) Which forum software runs on FreeBSD? By forum software, I am referring to programs such as o phpBB o vBulletin by Jelsoft FreeBSD supports several different programming languages - including PHP. Any kind of forum software that is programmed in these supported languages should be able to run without too much effort on a FreeBSD system. If you do you something free/open source like phpBB, be sure to keep it up to date and patched. It's a common target for script kiddies once an exploit has been found. 2) Suggestions for hosting services At a recent Colorado SAGE meeting, a fellow told me that hosting services exist where I can get a "virtual Linux" box for $20/month or so. I specify how much physical memory, disk space etc. that I need, and I get a "virtual Linux" system, but for all intents and purposes, it looks and acts like it's own system. Does FreeBSD have any similar ability to "virtualize"? Are any hosting services offering FreeBSD servers for as little as $15-25 / month? If not, for how little $/month might I find a FreeBSD server hosted by someone else? Recommendations of hosting services welcome. It sounds like you're talking about VPS's, or Virtual Private Servers. These are becoming very common-place n the Internet. This link should get you started: http://www.google.com/search?q=freebsd+vps 3) Is anyone familiar with web forum software? Can you point me to any of: o Usenet groups o Web forums for forum admins o rules of thumb for estimating bandwidth requirements / system sizing for estimated numbers of users? Forums take up very little space and bandwidth in general, but as always it depends on what you use it for and what you allow your clients to do with it. If you're just running a default install, a couple MB should get you covered. Many thanks, -- Steve Camp Camp Technologies, LLC [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hope this helps!

Re: Please don't change Beastie to another logo such asNetBSD!!!
Only my personal experience. In addition to not being comfortable with the BSD logo, a couple of the programmers here didn't like my Ouija-board mouse pad, because they associated it with the occult, and thus The Devil. Man, you must have a hell of a lot of fun with these people. What do they do when you start citing biblical verses that blow the crap out of their preconceptions? Ted I learned years ago that it is a waste of time. They just say it doesn't apply because . And I thought the Ouija-board mouse pad was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. - Bob As an aside to this, I for one know plenty of good, decent, "religious" people who are quite content to live their lives according to their own beliefs without insisting on forcing those beliefs on others. Of course, if you ask them, they'll talk about it with you, but they will not insist that you live your life a certain way simply because they are present. Just because your own experience includes interaction with a few overbearing religious people, please do not be so quick to judge what is, for the most part, a peace-loving community. Unfortunately it's usually the loud, overbearing, fire and brimstone kind of people who get all the religious publicity and misrepresent what most of the religious community stands for. - Jordan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

You've misunderstood, what I'm asking, or Im not understanding your example. In your example, the path to php, is still hardcoded. What Im ulitimately trying to achieve, is a script, that can determine the path to php, where ever it may be... Thanks Ah, yeah, my example was just a way to pass the path on to the script - not determine the path automatically. If you want to determine the path automatically, the only way I can see that you could do that would be to run two separate scripts (including the method I used above.) Something like this: --script_caller.sh-- $DYNAMICPATH = find / -name php | grep php script.sh $DYNAMICPATH --script_caller.sh-- The idea being that the script_caller.sh file would find the path to php on that system, then pass that path on to the script that will be executing the php commands. Now... don't get me wrong. I'm not an expert script writer or anything. I haven't tested these scripts. However, the logic behind them is still valid, and should work if properly executed.

FreeBSD 4.10 and finding dependant packages
Greetings, I'm currently exploring FreeBSD 4.10 in an effort to get the "Emerging Technologies Bandwidth Manager" (www.etinc.com) set up. I'm pretty comfortable working in a Linux environment so I thought I'd tackle this project in FreeBSD because of BSD's reputation for stability and security. Part of the ETBWMGR's requirements is to have apache installed, which is normally fine. I used the /stand/sysinstall program to install a basic version of apache: # /stand/sysinstall Configure -> Packages -> www -> apache-1.3.29_3 However, now when I go to install php, I get an error message (Error code 1) and when I try to remove the check box next to the apache package, I get a "This package is required by 2 other packages" error message. So, my questions is simple: What do I need to do to figure out what packages require apache to be installed? I've worked with SuSE's YAST tool and RPM's (and tools that manage RPM's... like YAST), but what's the BSD way to go about this? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. -- Warm regards, Jordan Michaels Vivio Technologies http://www.viviotech.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
