Your x configuration probably isn't right, make sure you have the x video

have failed.

Re: network problem

whats redirecting the requests to the apache server? is it on piublic or

 After a recent change of ISP and hence our external IP address I find

 that no requests now arrive, but that we have seen some external
 requests since the ISP changed.

 The https/sshd/mysql etc servers are still visible externally and the
 http server is visible on its local address and if you visit the
 external address from inside the network.

 I suspect that either I've still got some misconfiguration on the
 server, gateway or or dns(although this seems less likely).

 Alternatively the ISP might have some other block in place.

 I've looked for the old IP address in /etc and found no usages the
 gateway appears to be correctly set up.

 What tests can I do internally/externally to see what happens to my port
 80 packets?

 The link for kernel-current does not work.  Do you know where I can find

 using the objcopy instructions given in the handbook, and use it, but I
 get the error xc-dom-compat-check: guest type xen-3.0-x86_32 not

 It looks like I need a guest type xen-3.0-x86_32p.  I thought compiling
 a kernel with PAE enabled would give me that, but I get the same error.

 Seeing JC advertise a FreeBSD VPS product reminded me of an itch I've

 I know about jails at the simple end, and I know about VMware at the
 complicated end, but I've never been able to figure out what technology
 underlies the VPS offerings.
 
 I help out a friend on a Verio VPS that reports itself as FreeBSD 4.7
 w/ a kernel config file named VKERN.  There's some concept of a
 virtual root, a command named 'virtual' works a bit like sudo does for
 credentials, and there's otherwise an odd mix of it's all my machine
 and it's a shared server.
 
 Is/was there some proprietary virtualization technology in the 4.x
 days?  Is it still alive and kicking somewhere?
 
 Anyone have any insights into how these VPS products were built?
 
 Thanks,

 I am using both RootBSD and JohnCompanies.
 
  I'm currently with JohnCompanies. Overall, it's been a positive
  experience, though I wish they offered FreeBSD 7. Beta testing for it
  was supposed to begin last month, but so far no news.
 
 Agreed. JC has been fine so far, and I asked them to include me in their
 FreeBSD 7 beta testing when it opens up. I don't think they have a
 schedule posted for when that will start.
 
 I started out at RootBSD on 6.2, and when FreeBSD 7 was first offered by
 them (about a month ago), they were nice enough to setup a 7.0 VPS for
 me, and give me a liberal amount of time for me to move my data over
 from my 6.2 VPS.
 
  My main concern is disk space; I have 2GB for ~$26 per month.
 
 This too is my only gripe about JohnCompanies. For $29 a month, I only
 get a VPS with 2GB of space -- and they don't allow you to add more
 diskpace unless you upgrade to a higher ($49/month) plan.
 
 Contrast that with RootBSD, where I pay $19 a month and I get 10GB of
 space.
 
 On the JC server, one can easily fill up that 2GB by building various
 ports (I did it by running cd /usr/ports/graphics/ImageMagick; make
 install). The RootBSD box comes with 10GB of space which is more than
 enough to build almost any port.
 
 I am sticking with both for now, only because JC reliability/uptime is
 purported to be excellent. Granted, I've not had any hardware or
 connectivity issues with either provider yet, so I've not yet
 experienced any serious problems firsthand.
 
 
 
 I should also add that they both have excellent customer service and
 response times, I've been pleasantly surprised with how good the support
 from both places are.

 Thomas

   I almost always set my FreeBSD systems up to use a static IP, even behind a
  router.  I don't know if you want to access your FreeBSD system from ONLY
  the LAN, or if you want some access through your router.  I prefer a static
  IP on my FreeBSD systems as they are all providing some server functions
  (file sharing, DNS, etc.)
 
   Below are typical lines you would have in your /etc/rc.conf:
   ==
   #set the default router to your router's IP, often 192.168.1.1
   defaultrouter=192.168.1.1
   #set your hostname to match the enty in /etc/hosts
   hostname=myhostname.mydomainname.com
   #set your IP to one not in any DHCP range
   ifconfig_dc0=inet 192.168.1.10  netmask 255.255.255.0
   ==
 
   These are all you need to get it working.
 
   If you want the FreeBSD to have a LAN address but access through the router
  you need to set that up in your router.

 IBM ThinkPad you can not go wrong.
 
 T23, T30 or T43 are $200-400 on ebay. If you are rich T60 by far the 
 best laptop on the market in my opinion.

Nginx + FastCGI + PHP5 on FreeBSD 7.0

2007-09-08 Thread OutBackDingo
Ok wizards 

Nginx Lighttpd Fast-cgi and PHP5

seems all configured, yet when i point a browser at a php page 
it tries to download the file, instead of render it in the browser,
any ideas what i missed

--nginx.conf--
#user  nobody;
worker_processes  1;

events {
worker_connections  1024;
}

http {
include   mime.types;
default_type  application/octet-stream;

sendfileon;

keepalive_timeout  65;

server {
listen   80;
server_name  localhost;

location / {
root   /usr/local/www/nginx;
index  index.html index.php index.htm;
}

error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
root   /usr/local/www/nginx-dist;
}

# .php5 sent to php5
location ~ .*\.php5$ {
include /usr/local/etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:10005;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /$fastcgi_script_name;
}
}

and
/usr/local/sbin/spawn-fcgi -f /usr/local/bin/php-cgi -a 127.0.0.1 -p 9000 -u www

 Nope. But you can update them at the same time if you don't mind the IO and 
 network traffic:
 csup /path/to/ports-supfile  csup /path/to/src-supfile

Hrmm odd cause my Z60M lenovo said the largest drive i could buy was
120G, but sensing the fact that was only due to specs i opted to buy a
250G SATA i plugged it in and it worked fine. might be the specs were
based on drive sizes available at the time ?

 dan,
 
 saw your article.  hold tight if you havent bought anything yet... we
 have a ton of ibm t4x laptops, which are nearing decommission.  the
 ones that are still in service have a minimum of a gig of ram, and
 some might have more.  i know we have a ton of discarded ram modules,
 and i *might* be able to come up with something that might be worth
 donating.
 
 i will check what we have first thing monday morning, and let you
 know if im able to send something over.
 
 cheers,
