FreeBSD 8.0 - PHP 5.3.x
Hi all, Short of upgrading the OS, what is the safest way to upgrade a FreeBSD server to PHP 5.3.x from 5.2.11 ? I am assuming downloading the ports tarball and rebuilding and reinstalling will do it? Any advice, samples would be appreciated, -Grant ___ 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 am assuming downloading the ports tarball and rebuilding and reinstalling will do it? Any advice, samples would be appreciated 8.0 is out of support now as I recall. Recommend upgrading to 8.2 -- you should be able to update the base system independently of updating any ports as the ABI won't change because it's all the same major version number. Update your ports tree to the latest. Update your installed ports to the latest available. You can omit upgrading PHP and things like eaccelerator since you'll be deleting and reinstalling them shortly. Make backups of all of your PHP related ports. Take note of which are the actual applications you want to run -- there are some differences in the available modules between the php52 and the php5 ports, so it won't necessarily be an exact one-for-one swap. Now remove the base php52 port and every port that depends on it. Install the core lang/php5 port -- this resets the default PHP version on your system -- then reinstall your applications, allowing them to add any necessary modules automatically to fulfil their dependencies. If your PHP application code is not installed via ports, then you'll have to manually work out which modules to install -- this is likely to be pretty similar to what you needed with php52 but not necessarily exactly the same. Usually it's a matter of installing a bunch of stuff, trying the application, noting what throws errors due to missing functions and installing the needed modules to provide that. Rinse, repeat. This is safe, in that you should end up with a functioning system, but it is pretty intrusive and requires significant amounts of downtime on your system. To minimize all that, probably the best thing to do is clone your web server into a jail or VM, work on the upgrade there at your leisure, including all needed debugging. Then you should be able to make packages of all the ports in your test system and use those to quickly apply the changes to your live system. This is a key command-line you'll need for that: pkg_create -Rbn portname Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate JID: matt...@infracaninophile.co.uk Kent, CT11 9PW signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

The usual argument against doing this is but a run-away process might log so much that is fills your hard drive. This is true. You might also be killed by a lightning strike the next time you leave your house. Run-away logfiles are actually pretty rare, and given that 80GB would be considered a pretty small hard drive nowadays, and you can fit a standard FreeBSD install with quite a lot of extra software inside 10GB, you're likely to have sufficient empty space that you'ld get days of warning before it caused real trouble. In which case, newsyslog(8) is your friend. Cycling logs based on size and checking that every hour will avoid almost all trouble. You do monitor disk space usage on your servers don't you? Cacti is in ports and its pretty easy to set up, as are several other alternatives. Watch this list: you'll see people having trouble with too small root partitions with great regularity. I don't think I've /ever/ seen anyone ask about dealing with a process generating huge amounts of log data. Even if you do fill up the hard drive, it's not actually guaranteed disaster. FreeBSD itself will keep running just fine. So will most web applications -- although you won't get any logging. Simply delete some of the excess files, and the system will spring back to normal function. Filling the partition certainly will crash a database, but for serious RDBMS setups, I generally make an exception and put the database working files onto their own partition[*]. Nowadays too, I much prefer using ZFS -- so I have *one* zpool from which is allocated all of the space for the zdevs on the system. This is much the best of both worlds -- you get as many filesystems as you can eat, but each of them can use as much of the total available space as it needs to. Cheers, Matthew [*] As this usually involves hardware RAID10 with plenty of cache and a BBU on at least 4 x 15k RPM SAS2 drives, it would generally be on a separate partition in any case. - -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate JID: matt...@infracaninophile.co.uk Kent, CT11 9PW -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.14 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkwtllkACgkQ8Mjk52CukIyTOwCeJYhR6kY6wxmP+WlNyGF/eJte I0wAnRuULVWsjqxFAHaL1SFFTJd2sMMW =T9JF -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ 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

Then I add swap on a zvol (since I don't know how to properly use a kernel dump, I don't need swap to store it). I use this method everywhere except on VMs inside VMWare ESXi.

The usual argument against doing this is but a run-away process might log so much that is fills your hard drive. This is true. You might also be killed by a lightning strike the next time you leave your house. Run-away logfiles are actually pretty rare, and given that 80GB would be considered a pretty small hard drive nowadays, and you can fit a standard FreeBSD install with quite a lot of extra software inside 10GB, you're likely to have sufficient empty space that you'ld get days of warning before it caused real trouble. In which case, newsyslog(8) is your friend. Cycling logs based on size and checking that every hour will avoid almost all trouble. You do monitor disk space usage on your servers don't you? Cacti is in ports and its pretty easy to set up, as are several other alternatives. Watch this list: you'll see people having trouble with too small root partitions with great regularity. I don't think I've /ever/ seen anyone ask about dealing with a process generating huge amounts of log data. Even if you do fill up the hard drive, it's not actually guaranteed disaster. FreeBSD itself will keep running just fine. So will most web applications -- although you won't get any logging. Simply delete some of the excess files, and the system will spring back to normal function. Filling the partition certainly will crash a database, but for serious RDBMS setups, I generally make an exception and put the database working files onto their own partition[*]. Nowadays too, I much prefer using ZFS -- so I have *one* zpool from which is allocated all of the space for the zdevs on the system. This is much the best of both worlds -- you get as many filesystems as you can eat, but each of them can use as much of the total available space as it needs to. Cheers, Matthew [*] As this usually involves hardware RAID10 with plenty of cache and a BBU on at least 4 x 15k RPM SAS2 drives, it would generally be on a separate partition in any case. - -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate JID: matt...@infracaninophile.co.uk Kent, CT11 9PW -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.14 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkwtllkACgkQ8Mjk52CukIyTOwCeJYhR6kY6wxmP+WlNyGF/eJte I0wAnRuULVWsjqxFAHaL1SFFTJd2sMMW =T9JF -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ 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 all i can say is your a brave boy 8) A 1 TB+ / slice would take ages to fsck.

I still create separate partitions through paranoia, to avoid corrupting the entire disk if for example /usr/obj is being written to when the power goes out. I don't know if that would happen but I've had too many problem over the years with various filesystems that I don't trust it. With ZFS I've gone even further and created separate filesystems for /usr/src, /usr/ports etc. The output of 'mount' looks somewhat like a Solaris machine now :) I have a task on my TODO list to increase the sizes of the partitions in sysinstall: for example / goes to 1GB, /var to 4GB.

Why not move the old useless kernel to another drive. Sure if the system kernel fails and you need the old one, there is a little bit more work, but nothing that I can't see be solved by: 1. booting from a livecd 2. mount the /boot and /theotherpartition 3. move the kernel back and move the faulty one away 4. reboot That saves you from deleting the entire computer/world/Internet and save the old kernel as well.

A separate /home is very nice if you're rebuilding or re-installing you can just not format that partition and all your stuff will still be there.

Re: /boot is full after running make installkernel on FreeBSD 8.0
Henrik, When I FIRST installed 8.0, I did create a separate /home partition. When I installed the kernel and starting running out of space in / , I thought O.K...I'll let FreeBSD make the partition sizes IT wants to and see if I have the same problem, and I did. Apparently, 512M is just, not, quite big enough so I think I'll try 1G to give me plenty of room.

FreeBSD 8.0 linux emulator kernel panic

Please advise on how to patch the kernel panic. r200768 uniquely identifies a single change to the FreeBSD source code. In this case it identifies a bugfix to linux_signal.c. You need to run 8-STABLE (currently it will show up as 8.1-PRERELEASE) to get the fix. I know it works because I also run multiple HLDS processes on FreeBSD. To get 8-STABLE: cvsup/csup the sources to RELENG_8, then follow these instructions to upgrade: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html Good luck! -- Pieter de Goeje ___ 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
Issues reinstalling Bind9 on FreeBSD 8.0
Ok i'll make it short coz it's the 2nd time i write this -.-' and don't even ask why :D So here it goes: Fresh FreeBSD 8.0 install, installed bind97 to witch i have busted up the named.conf fine and tought, at the time, that deleting the whole content of /etc/namedb and reinstalling the bind port will simply write the files up again. Well it's not like that... i;ve did pgk_delete, make deinstall, make rmconfig, tryed to manually delete all the files required but no joy. Now i've tryed to use all bind9 bind96 and bind97 from ports and even get the source from isc.org but they all did the same, even more after a reboot and again the same process (source+ports) the builds didn't even install the named binary /etc/rc.d/named: WARNING: run_rc_command: cannot run /usr/sbin/named Please do tell me how to purge completly a port, delete all it's files and configs then install it again from scratch...

Also, if you're trying to run one of the bind ports, then you should just use all the default configuration stuff in /etc/namedb (which is really /var/named/etc/namedb) and the rc script /etc/rc.d/named with the binaries installed by the port by putting the following in /etc/rc.conf: named_enable=YES named_program=/usr/local/sbin/named named_flags=-c /etc/namedb/named.conf This is a bit unusual -- most ports install their own startup script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ and their own config files under /usr/local/etc or subdirs thereof. One handy hint is to link /usr/local/etc/rndc.conf to /etc/namedb/rndc.conf which helps the rc-script control the named process better. (Or .../rndc.key, depending on how you set things up.) Actually, I believe the various bind ports do this automatically now, but it doesn't hurt to double check.

I take it a minicom is a external serial modem for internet access over the phone lines. First off you better check if this is a windows modem. Phone modems are manufactured for two target markets, MS/Windows (Winmodems) and every thing else. Winmodems are cheep because the hardware controller function is handled by the software you have to install into MS/Windows. This hardware controller function is normally contained in a chip on the modem circuit board. Winmodems are missing this chip and directs the modem to use driver software running in the MS/Windows system to perform the controller function. The most common Winmodem chips are manufactured by Lucent. There are many versions of this Lucent chip resulting in each chip version needing a different MS/Windows software driver version. Up until version 4.4, FBSD did not have any solution to using Winmodems, but with the release of 4.4 the ports collection now contains the Linux Winmodem 'ltmdm' driver which was ported to FBSD. This port is very poorly documented, only works with a limited number of Lucent chip version, and can be somewhat unreliable. Your whole Internet connection is managed by your modem and trying to shoe horn a modem specially manufactured for the MS/Windows operating system into FreeBSD is not the way to achieve a satisfactory dialup Internet connection. Plug the usb to serial converter into a usb port on the pc. Plug the serial cable into the modem and the converter. Power on the minicon, and boot your pc. Check your boot messages for the address of the usb to serial converter and use that address in your ppp config for dialing your ISP.

For example something like uplcom, umodem etc. This would create a new entry in /dev that you can use in minicom.

Thank You.
Have you checked the permissions on /usr/local/share/rt38/html.
If you are using Apache from the ports, then it is probably running
as user www and group www.
User www should be able to read and cd into /usr/local/share/rt38/html
I would first check that.

pyglet segfaults on FreeBSD 8.0/amd64/nVidia
Hi Michael, thanks for replying. Unfortunately changing the driver to the nv one does not work since nv does not support GLX which is required by pyglet. I appreciate your suggestion, though. cheers, giuseppe -- Giuseppe Pagnoni Dip.

pyglet segfaults on FreeBSD 8.0/amd64/nVidia
Hello,
First of all, let me apologize for the re- and cross-posting , but
after a couple of weeks scouring the web and forums to no avail, I
thought I would try again and query the FreeBSD mother source...
I installed pyglet from the ports (latest version as of yesterday,
py26-pyglet-1.1.2_1) on a FreeBSD 8.0 amd64 box, running the latest
version of the ports' nvidia driver (nvidia-driver-195.36.15). I
found that I cannot use either font.Text or text.label without causing
segfaults. Here is some sample code that makes python crash:
- SNIPPET 1
import pyglet
luxi = pyglet.font.load('Luxi Sans', 14)
--- SEGMENTATION FAULT
- SNIPPET 2
import pyglet
window = pyglet.window.Window()
label = pyglet.text.Label('Hello, world',
font_name='Luxi Sans',
font_size=36,
x=window.width//2,
y=window.height//2,
anchor_x='center',
anchor_y='center')
--- SEGMENTATION FAULT
It seems that the problem arises already at the stage of font loading.
I am not at all a python expert, perhaps somebody can suggest a
way to narrow down the problem?
Here is some more information on my system reported by a routine
included in a python package (PsychoPy) I am trying to use:

Re: pyglet segfaults on FreeBSD 8.0/amd64/nVidia

Hello,
First of all, let me apologize for the re- and cross-posting , but
after a couple of weeks scouring the web and forums to no avail, I
thought I would try again and query the FreeBSD mother source...
I installed pyglet from the ports (latest version as of yesterday,
py26-pyglet-1.1.2_1) on a FreeBSD 8.0 amd64 box, running the latest
version of the ports' nvidia driver (nvidia-driver-195.36.15). I
found that I cannot use either font.Text or text.label without causing
segfaults. Here is some sample code that makes python crash:
- SNIPPET 1
import pyglet
luxi = pyglet.font.load('Luxi Sans', 14)
--- SEGMENTATION FAULT
- SNIPPET 2
import pyglet
window = pyglet.window.Window()
label = pyglet.text.Label('Hello, world',
font_name='Luxi Sans',
font_size=36,
x=window.width//2,
y=window.height//2,
anchor_x='center',
anchor_y='center')
--- SEGMENTATION FAULT
It seems that the problem arises already at the stage of font loading.
I am not at all a python expert, perhaps somebody can suggest a
way to narrow down the problem?
Here is some more information on my system reported by a routine
included in a python package (PsychoPy) I am trying to use:

FreeBSD-8.0-RELEASE-p2-amd64-64bit-ELF

I'm not a coder, but possibly this may help:
http://pyglet.org/doc/api/index.html
Then look at pyglet.font and pyglet.font.base for example purposes.

To drive a wedge you might consider as an experiment temporarily replacing
the Nvidia driver in xorg.cong with the nv driver. If same problem, it may
be confirming the problem is not an interaction with a video display driver
but rather the Python coding itself. Notice the different approach in the
doc example(s).
I'm not really a coder and don't know a whole lot about Python, but since
this seems to have been a problem to you for a while now I thought maybe I'd
toss out my ideas. YMMV :-)
