Re: Plesk and FreeBSD 6.1 64-bit getting frustrating
Hello We were using Plesk on FreeBSD 5.4, i386, and had a lot of problem with qmail wich is crashing sometimes without any reason. We tried differend tips found on forums and disabling antivirus and modifying some script we managed to restart the crashed mail service by watchdog, but still the mail service crash more than ten times a day. The problem with crashing qmail was found not only on FreeBSD but on Linux too. So our learned lesson was: 1. don't try even to make it work if is not designed for your version of bsd, is a waste of time, 2. Plesk 7.5 is not as good as we thought, you might try Plesk 8, maybe is better, but, I still recommend you CPanel. Is difficult to work with closed source code, if a problem occurs you do not know what to do.

But plesk isn't supported for FreeBSD 6.1 64-bit version yet, so it has been hard work to try trick it. Now I want to trick the uname command to show the version needed for plesk installation. Any one having an easy and pretty safe way to do this? This is the last try before I trash FreeBSD as it's pretty important that this server come up and running soon, though I love FreeBSD :( Also, I'm not member at this list so please mail / cc me directly.

Hi, I've found this post: http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-net@freebsd.org/msg19247.html It seems that support for BCM5780 was added into bge driver, in CURRENT, so i've cvsuped, and tried, and still not working. Anybody have an ideea howto solve this problem?

Re: pppoed using mpd - dirrect connect between LAN clients
Yes, i'll try: WAN - | ROUTER | (also pppoe server using mpd) -- LAN | switch | | | | user1 user2user n ROUTER is a FreeBSD Box user 1 ... user n are windows stations connected to pppoe server (win 98, windows 2000 or win xp) On the router is installed a dc++ server. Users 1... to n are connected to dc++ server, they download files from each other. The problem is that traffic from user 1 to user 2 , or between any user is going via LAN nic. If i do not use pppoe server and assign user1 user2 fixed ips then the traffic in lan is direct from a user to another. The traffic on LAN nic is not high. So, pppoe will help in a easyer configuration of a client but traffic in lan is via LAN nic which is bad... if are many computers it slows down alot. If user 1 download from user 2 a 700 mb iso it will take only 1 minute for a 100 mbps lan, but if pppoe is setup and many users download from each others the traffic lows down a lot... i had experience with 300 kbytes/s instead of 8 mbytes/s.

I'm talking about a book which explains where things are put (equiv of /var/mail, /etc/passwd, /etc/rc.conf), where application data is stored, how printers, disks, etc are shared, how to book in "fixit disk" mode, how to backup/restore, how to configure swap space.

Load Balancing - Nice and Easy - no BGP, no isp help.
Hello friends I am trying for a while to make a load balancer under FreeBSD I would have: 3 nics, ISP1 nic, ISP2 nic and LAN nic. What i've done until now, after reading lots of posts, googling for a while: - I've suceeded to setup an outgoing load balancer with pf, it works perfectly but only for outgoing traffic; - I've noticed that almost everybody thing that it cannot be done load balancing with BSD of incoming and outgoing without help of that both ISP (BGP) - I find hardware with proprietary OS/firmware that can do load balancing without support of ISP. Some are cheap (300$), but at review does not know to load balance incoming traffic (break functionality of some pages accessed, since some of load is on one interface, some of other, works corectly only if i setup to come some type of traffic on one interface, some of other (for example trafic via port 80 on one nic, ftp traffic on the other), also are expensive hardware load balancers (over 1000$) that... i am asking myself how it works, without help of isp. - I've found somewhere that it can be done load balancing but not with one box with that 3 nics, but with 3 boxex, because (that article i am "insipring" said that every box has just one routing table) because can be created a virtual server that with handle routes from that 2 boxes. - People told me that in Linux load balancing cand be done, 3 nics, 2 external, one to Lan, with iptables. Here is a short article: http://linux.com.lb/wiki/index.pl?node=Load%20Balancing%20Across%20Multiple%20Links So, my question is, if some people made it (in expensive hardware that did have the same OS, maybe even FreeBSD, and proprietary algorythms) and in Linux it can be done (people told me, i've read articles and also so it here, where i live) why it cannot be done under FreeBSD? I guess it can be done, I want to do it with FreeBSD, and want to obtain same performances as with Linux. What is your opinion about that? What should I do? Anybody suceed in making load balancing work that way? Best Regards, Ovidiu ps.

DHCP Issue - could not get ip.
Hello. I have a problem with DHCP, i've tried to solve googling, reading post on forums. I have a DHCP cable modem connection. in rc.conf i have ifconfig_vr0="DHCP" when i launch dhclient -d vr0 i get: I've tried differend things, like setting the nic for 10 mbps, half-dupplex, reseting the cable modem. (I've talk also with isp, they said does not support FreeBSD or linux) I've tried almost any parameter in dhclient.conf. If i boot on windoze (same box, same nic) DHCP works. I've taken ip and gateway from windoze put with ifconfig in freebsd and internet works.
