Seems something is missing after the cp. Hmm. But what?
mod_jk is the connector between Apache and Tomcat. It handles
the passoff of JSP requests from Apache webserver to Tomcat
servlet engine.
As I recall, this error comes about because the autoconf stuff in
mod_jk doesn't find the location of some C header files included with
the JDK. Typical value should be something like:
/usr/local/jdk1.4.2/include
However, passing this value on the configure command line does not
work, which seems to be a bug in the mod_jk-1.2.8 autoconf stuff that
I don't have enough autoconf-fu to be able to fix. Instead, you need
to define JAVA_HOME in the environment before running configre.
I've attached a diff against the www/mod_jk port (currently
mod_jk-1.2.6) which works for me. I have submitted this to the mod_jk
port maintainer but he says he's getting strange slowdowns from
mod_jk-1.2.8, so he's not happy about committing it. This patch also
adds a build dependency on Java to the port. Personally I haven't
seen any slowdown problems. I guess the upshot is: use at your own
risk.

Matthew

Post-installation configuration problems with FreeBSD 4.4
I've installed FreeBSD 4.4 from the CD-ROM included in my FreeBSD Unleashed book (I installed 4.4 instead of 5.0 because it's supposedly more stable; 5.0 is a pre-release snapshot.). When I try to do the X Server configuration stuff, the server won't start and, consequently, X-Windows won't start. My video card is CinePak Codec by Radius, Inc. and my monitor is a 15 ASTVision 4i (Intel (r) 82810 graphics controller with 4MB memory, screen refresh rate of 60 hertz, resolution is 800x600, and 24 bit color quality. For the card option, CinePak doesn't show up in the list of potentials. Can you tell me what I might be doing wrong in my attempt to configure X server ? By the way, I have FreeBSD installed in a primary partition on a system on which I also run Windows XP Professional with Boot US boot manager. I'd appreciate any information that you can provide.

Then when you install FreeBSD let it take care of the formating for you. Otherwise, you should have no problem. This is bad information. If you dont want to kill your logical drives, dont delete them. Windows places all extended drives in one extended partition. (FDISK wont let you choose otherwise). It is my opinion that you obtain a copy of some partition movement utilities such as Partition Magic. (even though it runs in Windows/DOS only) you should still be able to use it. You can then resize your partitions and make room for a FreeBSD slice. * Positive not for Partition magic: You can create Emergency Disks that are bootable. So having DOS/Windows installed is not a requirement. -- Rod @ Home So No Cool Signature http://opensourcebeef.bsd.st Aaron Burke [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Windows XP and FreeBSD 4.4 on the same hard drive
I am currently running Windows XP Professional on a HP Pavilion with a 27.95GB hard drive which I've partitioned with FDISK. Windows is in the primary DOS partition (about 7GB) on disk drive C and the extended DOS partition had three logical drives (D, E, and F) defined in it; they are 7.3GB, 7.3GB, and 6.3GB respectively. I want to create my FreeBSD environment in the first logical drive (D). I know the starting and ending sector numbers so that I won't overwrite any data already on the drive. Does this sound reasonable ? And will I be able to install FreeBSD's boot manager to give me a choice of which OS I want to come up ? I'd really like to do this right the first time. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The second you said logical D it won't work. FreeBSD needs a primary partition to work. You can have 4 primary partitions on an XP machine. You didn't have to use logicals.

I'll bet it is talking about pwd_mkdb(8) and not mergemaster. Well crap. Still, my version doesn't mention anything about Pre-buildworld mode so the pie on my face is at least tasty. Since you have already updated your source tree, read /usr/src/usr.sbin/mergemaster/mergemaster.8 That is the man page for /usr/src/usr.sbin/mergemaster/mergemaster.sh That will explain everything, including when to run it using the -p parameter. That would be pre-buildworld. Will do. Notice that there is no mention of mergemaster until step 6. The Makefile reads the same on my 4.8 system. However, that should probably be updated, as every time I've seen a mention of mergemaster -p on any of the mailing lists, it has always occured before the buildworld. (And that's the advice I've been following since the -p parameter was introduced.) Yes, updating the docs would be very helpful in situations.. oh, I don't know.. like this one. If you look at the source code (or were here when the -p option was added to mergemaster, you would see that 'mergemaster -p' really just runs mergemaster on a couple of files which could block installworld from working if not already updated. At this time (in either STABLE or CURRENT) it makes absolutely no difference whether it is run before or after build of the world and kernel. It must be run before installworld, although it only makes a difference on limited occasions. (4.4 to 4.8 would be such a case.) FWIW, the only files currently merged when the -p option is present are the group and password files, but this list is subject to change if needed. It is intended to be run before buildworld so that other files can be included down the road if they are needed. But, at this time, running it before installworld is all that is required. -- R.

This is from a longer paragraph, and no mention is made of Pre-buildworld

error in /usr/src/Makefile since it states that:

# 6. `mergemaster -p'

Notice that there is no mention of mergemaster until step 6.
This is a test system, but it's remote and I don't want to clobber it
unnecessarily.

I'll bet it is talking about pwd_mkdb(8) and not mergemaster. Well crap. Still, my version doesn't mention anything about Pre-buildworld mode so the pie on my face is at least tasty. Since you have already updated your source tree, read /usr/src/usr.sbin/mergemaster/mergemaster.8 That is the man page for /usr/src/usr.sbin/mergemaster/mergemaster.sh That will explain everything, including when to run it using the -p parameter. That would be pre-buildworld. Will do. Notice that there is no mention of mergemaster until step 6. The Makefile reads the same on my 4.8 system. However, that should probably be updated, as every time I've seen a mention of mergemaster -p on any of the mailing lists, it has always occured before the buildworld. (And that's the advice I've been following since the -p parameter was introduced.) Yes, updating the docs would be very helpful in situations.. oh, I don't know.. like this one. --- Dustin Puryear [EMAIL PROTECTED] Puryear Information Technology, LLC http://www.puryear-it.com Providing expertise in the management, integration, and security of Windows and UNIX systems, networks, and applications. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
FreeBSD 4.4-REL to FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE upgrade problem.
I sent this to freebsd-questions earlier via the newsgroup, but I just found out today that the list-to-news gateway has been down for half a month now. Any idea when it's going back up? Who was hosting that service anyway? And now for the question.. I have a test server that is being used to test a 4.4-REL to 4.8-STABLE upgrade, and I've found the system will no longer boot unless I load a saved 4.4-REL kernel. The error I get is along the lines of: Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad4s1a Root mount failed: 16 At first I got this error using a custom kernel configuration known as WWW, but after getting this error I built a new kernel based on GENERIC: # cd /usr/src # make update # make buildkernel # make installkernel # reboot Per /usr/src/UPDATING there was a change in the ATA drive at 4.5-REL, but it mentioned running mergemaster to create the new devices, and according to /usr/src/Makefile I shouldn't do that until I get past the current stage (which is where I am stuck): (/usr/src/Makefile comments) 1. cd /usr/src 2. make buildworld 3. make buildkernel 4. make installkernel 5. reboot 6. mergemaster -p This machine does have the Promise RAID-1 IDE controller that is built into a lot motherboards these days. Here is my dmesg output from this server on a successful boot: ar0: 39266MB ATA RAID1 array [5005/255/63] subdisks: ad4: 39266MB IC35L040AVER07-0 [79780/16/63] at ata2-master UDMA100 ad6: 39266MB IC35L040AVER07-0 [79780/16/63] at ata3-master UDMA100 However, this test machine mimics how the web servers were setup, and they do not use /dev/ar, but instead use /dev/ad0: # cat /etc/fstab # DeviceMountpoint FStype Options DumpPass# /dev/ad4s1b noneswapsw 0 0 /dev/ad4s1a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/ad4s1f /usrufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad4s1e /varufs rw 2 2 /dev/acd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 proc/proc procfs rw 0 0 I am thinking that in 4.5-REL or newer (we are trying to upgrade to 4.8) that things might have changed? Again, /usr/src/UPDATING mentions some changes to the ATA code, but nothing specific to our configuration. Any ideas here?

SquidGuard uses squid. I would actually recommend adding DansGuardian to your filters. That is how I do things. DansGuardian loads the SquidGuard files and speaks to squid, squid does the web site retrieval and caching, nad some ipfw rules handle redirection and prevent anyone from accessing squid directly. (Accessing squid directly would circumvent DansGuardian.) There are lots of docs on the web that detail this. Most of the settings in the squid configuration files are OK in their default form. I think that I changed about a half dozen settings at most.

Getting SCSI Scanner to work (with Symbios 53c810a and FreeBSD 4.4)
Keywords: FreeBSD SANE Scanner Mustek SCSI MFS-6000CX synchronous disable Symbios
53c810a
Just for the records, or: to whom it may concern.
This is what I had to do to get a scsi scanner to work. I post it
here so others having a similar problem may get inspired.
I got some Mustek MFS-6000CX. The SANE docs say this scanner
will not run synchronous scsi transfers and will not disconnect/
reconnect.
The Qlogic 1020 controller does not detect it, but instead it will
hang infinitely at biosboot.
The WD7000 controller will detect it, but either it does not report
it to the host, or the FreeBSD driver does not recognize it. I did
not check this further, as this ISA controller is rather outdated
(although it likely might be good enough for a scanner).
The Symbios 53c810a will detect the scanner at biosboot as an
asynchronous scsi device, and also FreeBSD detects it as devicetype
Scanner when looking for devices. But it is not possible
to send any scsi command (like tur, inquiry, etc.) to the scanner;
none will be answered.
Modifying parameters with camcontrol negotiate does not help.
The scanner will be lost at camcontrol rescan and will never be
detected again until system reboot.
Each time a scsi command is issued to the scanner, there will be
no answer, but a kernel error message is logged:
/kernel: (probe5:sym0:0:6:0): phase change 6-7 6@07c5bf8c resid=5.
---
I investigated the source of the Symbios driver and found out:
It is not possible to switch off synchronous transfer negotiation
for a device. There is a variable named period in the source,
and it is set to 25, and it has to do something with synchronous
transfer.
The driver will try to negotiate this value with every device,
and when it does this to an asynch device, the above error
phase change 6-7 will appear.
This happens with other asynch devices too. But there it does
happen only once, at detection time. Afterwards the period
value is changed to 0, and there will be no problems. Obviousely
there is some reaction from the device, and this reaction makes
that the driver changes that value.
And obviousely the Mustek scanner does not provide this expected
reaction, so the 25 value is negotiated again and again before
each scsi command, and then the command does fail due to the phase
change error.
So, after figuring this out, the solution is rather simple: we
need to change the period value to 0 on our own initiative.
I did not find a quirk table for generic scsi devices where such
things could be meddled with. (This would have been the nice solution,
making the modification dependent on the scanner's device id string.)
Instead, I did hard-code the scanner's scsi-id via a config file
option. The tradeoff is, if you have more than one Symbios
controller in the machine, then the respective scsi-id on each
bus will have synch transfers disabled. I did not notice any
other tradeoff - I have a disk and two tapes on that bus, and
they work just fine (except for the typical effects of having
a device on the bus that does not disconnect/reconnect).
The disabling of disconnect/reconnect is simple and works as
documented: camcontrol negotiate 0:6:0 -D disable, where 6
is the scsi-id of the scanner.
Here is the diff to the Symbios driver, it applies to the source
from RELENG_4_4_0_RELEASE.

Error on installing FreeBSD 4.4 on Dell Inspiron 2650 ( 2.0 GHz )
Hi I bought a laptop ( Dell Inspiron 2650 ) and want to install 4.4BSD on it . but when it is going to be installed after it ask for configuration when the kernel is going to probe the devices and write the devices on the screen , it says that pci0 unknown device (vendor=8086 ) IRQ ... pci0 unknown device (vendor=8086 ) IRQ ... pci0 unknown device (vendor=8086 ) IRQ ... and then it hanged up and never going to continue What can i do ??? I really love the FreeBSD ;) Thanx _ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

Hi By the way , It found the atapci0 device atapci0 : ... at ata0 and pci0 then it founds the ata0 and found the device type and then it cannot found the pci0 pci0 unknown device (vendor=8086 ) IRQ ... pci0 unknown device (vendor=8086 ) IRQ ... pci0 unknown device (vendor=8086 ) IRQ ... it hanges up while to start the installation it never goes to the install menu By the way , again!!! , i cannot found pnp os on the bios Andrey! :0( i will try that again . I think this is just for the device probing ( for hdd ) it is not probing for the os . and it is for the insatllation perparing time not for the time of running SOS ;) Please help me THANX _ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

It's just that the BIOS can't boot from them, and therefore the standard FreeBSD installer won't *install* into one. In theory, you can get around this, but not with the standard installer. Just to be clear: the BIOS can boot from them, as it does in many people's Linux setups. My use of terminology was a little imprecise, but this statement is even more so. On no PC-class machine does the BIOS boot *anything* except the MBR. Linux systems (for example) that boot from extended partitions do so by using a boot manager that lives on the disk, somewhere beyond the 512-byte boot sector, but the BIOS knows nothing about those partitions. (FreeBSD would either have to be able (like Linux) to use the same secondary-partitioning scheme as IBM did or FreeBSD would have to be able to shoehorn its slices in, supporting a tertiary-partitioning scheme.) That's not really the problem. The boot manager has to know how to invoke the FreeBSD loader. With the root filesystem in its own extended partition, and the right set of boot blocks in that partition, you can boot FreeBSD from an extended partition, without changing any of FreeBSD's filesystem or slice support. [A number of people have done it; the only tricky part is that, as I mentioned in my earlier message, the FreeBSD installer can't do it for you.] Be well.

Just to be clear: the BIOS can boot from them, as it does in many people's Linux setups. FreeBSD booting software and utils just don't support it. Probably because there is small reward for anyone who is ABLE to change FreeBSD to DO so. They don't need the capability much.

Install FreeBSD 4.4 into EXTENDED Partition
In installation programm of FreeBSD 4.4 I have select extended partition, FreeBSD said, that this partition will be deleted (TOGETHER WITH LINUX NATIVE AND SWAP PARTITIONS!).
