Which knobs do I use to control BDB use in MySQL-server port?

2007-09-19 Thread Aliya Harbouri
Hi everybody,

I'm building my 1st FreeBSD-based box.  Yay, I guess ;-p

I've already installed Berkeley DB v46 from the Ports system.

Now, I'ts on to MySQL server.

I can easily build manually from source, configuring whatever I need.

But, I'm trying to get the Ports system's knobs figured out :-/

Building the databases/mysql50-server Port, I see (they'er all in
Makefile, yes?) my choices for knob-settings in make.conf are:

  WITH_OPENSSL=true
  WITH_PROC_SCOPE_PTH=yes
  BUILD_OPTIMIZED=yes
  WITH_INNODB=yes
  WITHOUT_ARCHIVE=true
  WITHOUT_CSV=true
  WITHOUT_FEDERATED=true
  WITHOUT_NDB=true

Turning INNODB on/off is clear.

But I haven't been able to grok how to

(1) Turn OFF use of BDB completely.  The build seems to default to the
bundled BDB

(2) Use the Port install of BDB v46 I mentioned above.


Can somebody explaing the right knobs to turn to do both?

Or, do I have to rely on manual configuration?

THanks a lot!

Ali

Dovecot LDA help

2007-09-19 Thread Peter Pluta

I'm redoing my mail setup and am having some issues. I'm having dspam send
mail directly to dovecot for delivery. I've read the dovecot wiki
extrensivly and manged to get a config file from a friend that has it setup
this way, but I am still unable to get it working. 

Here is my config for dovecot.conf:
 socket listen {
master {
  path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
  mode = 0660
  user = vmail
  #group = vmail
}
mail_location = maildir:/usr/local/virtual/%d/%n -- all mail in
/usr/local/virtual is owned by vmail:vmail

The rest is all mostly stock and the usual config. 

Here is my dovecot-sql.conf file:
password_query = SELECT password, 1011 AS uid, 1011 AS gid FROM users WHERE
userid = '%u'
user_query = SELECT 1011 AS uid, 1011 AS gid FROM users WHERE userid = '%u'

1011:1011 is the uid/gid of the user vmail. 


Now the question is, what is the problem here. I turned dovecots debug
feature on, and I see this:

Yes, there is geom_fox. The BUGS sections mentions:

Do your own evaluation.

There is also gmultipath for 7-CURRENT. 7-CURRENT is not very

 Does FreeBSD has port for linux device mapper tool

No, but it has GEOM which provides a generic framework

modules for several tasks already exist. You can do
encryption, mirroring, stripping, RAID3 and many more.
It might cover your needs(or not).

FreeBSD constantly hanging

2007-09-19 Thread Deceased

Hi,

I have a serious problem, that I cannot solve my self :(

I have freebsd 6.2 router that has 3 NICs (lan, wan, dmz), suddenly 
(about two weeks ago) it started to hang without leaving anything in 
logs. I thought that it was hardware problem. So at first I changed 
motherboard, ram, cpu, NIC's, PSU, I kept changing everything but it was 
still hanging :/, reinstalled, but it didn't help.


Then we got brand new PC and I did fresh install of 6.2_RELEAS-200708, 
but to my surprise it was still hanging. There may by power issues, but 
in the same place there are 2 more servers : HP Proliant ML310 G4 with 
windoze and second is simple P4 1.6Ghz with 6.0-STABLE, both of them are 
not hanging.


Hanging machine is connected to the APC 350 ups, but it does not help.

 and the serial port usually comes up.

 turns out to be 115,200 baud, but it does come up.
 
   What then happens after that is what I am writing this

   The kernel on the CD boots but then it can't seem to
 find the hard drives and the whole process is dead on arrival
 with a spew of errors about not finding any media followed by a
 lockup.
 
   If I have a cowworker help me and run the install off
 the new system's video display, all is well and we get a good
 FreeBSD installation.
 
   Can anybody think of a way to get the headless install
 to work in FreeBSD 6.2?
 
   Many thanks.

Try:

AFAIK my nvidia driver was not updated during this process; however,

If I move the mouse to from Screen0 to Screen1, it can't leave the

This worked before.

Is this an nvidia issue and will be fixed soon?

If not, whats the easiest way to downgrade X.org back to 7.2?

Sendmail out to port 2525

2007-09-19 Thread Jack Stone

Am using FBSD-6.2p7 Sendmail-8.13.8
 
I spent several days trying different configs to relay mail from my sendmail 
relay received from another relay using postfix -- to a Windows server only 
listening on port 2525. So far no luck and all attempts to relay to the Windows 
server shows service not available. Receiving emails from the sending postfix 
relay okay and my sendmail relay is attempting without success to deliver to 
the Windows machine.
 
Here's the setup:
1) From - Postfix (transport.map = domain.tld smtp:[200.xxx.xxx.xx]:2525
2) To: My Sendmail Relay accept (access file - 200.xxx.xxx.xx RELAY
 mailertable = domain.tld smtp:[60.xxx.xxx.xx] 
3) Relay to: Windows Server containing the users - listen to receive port 2525
 
Steps #1  2 works okay, but #3 shows service not available.
Similar tests using another #3 machine listening on normal port 25 worked fine.
(but, not until I disabled the mailertable domain smtp::[60.xxx.xxx.xx]
 
How do I make #2 send on 2525  ???
 
Is it possible the postfix transport.map conflict with my mailertable?
 
I have reconfigured my sendmail.mc file over  over from its defaults to this:
 
FEATURE(`no_default_msa')dnldnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=25, Name=MTA, 
Family=inet')DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=2525, Name=MTA')DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=25, 
Name=MSA, M=E')dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=587, Name=MSA, M=E')
 
Any of you MTA experts can help me?
 
This is driving me nuts (I know, walk, it's not that far) :^)
 
Thanks so much!!
 
All the best,
Jack

You have had some other responses that may lead you to an answer.
Check them out.

One more wil idea of something to check is disk space.   Is it
possible that your job is trying to write to some space where there
is not enough room?   

Also, is it possible that some previous job failed, but didn't
complete terminate and is still hanging around or hanging on
to some space needed by the jobs.Sometimes just doing a reboot
will clear that up -- though it won't prevent the problem from

Good morning -

If you have all the compat*x libraries installed you might not need to.
But if you don't, things will use the old libraries and not the new ones
in 7.

I would suggest you do.


After a 6.2-stable to 7.0-current upgrade i'm having segmentation

 Don't worry about ATAPI/CAM; it won't be used by burncd, and won't

 The funny thing is (unless I recall incorrectly, which is possible

 by the device itself.  And I just looked it up; CRD-8400B is
 definitely a CDROM.  So I don't think the OS is confused; if anything,
 the device itself is what's confused.
 
 Just to doublecheck: are you really sure you haven't changed the drive

 Nope, haven't changed the drive. Went and had a look at the front and
 it's got CD/RW on the disc symbol on the front of the tray. But

So, first question, which of the above files exist?  When you run

  I didn't get the 404 error, so I think my script exits.  When I   
typed PHP -i, I received 4 pages of HTML code.  This means PHP 
works.  I tried   phpinfo() from my browser and still nothing.  I 
have been fighting this for 3 weeks and
  reinstalled many times.  I tried this on FreeBSD-5.4, 6.1 and 
6.2.  All   three operating systems produce the same result.   I 
found out that apache runs in a jail and uses chroot.  I added the   
directory it says and still nothing.


This is where I get stuck.  Thanks in advance for any help.

Since the question is really about PHP instead of FreeBSD, you might
try some PHP forums/mail lists as well.

I did check the  '/var/log/httpd.error.log'.  It says:

I did install the file 'favicon.ico' and that solved the problem, the 
'/var/log/httpd.error.log' is now OK.

I already tried sending this problem to the PHP forms without any luck.


Please carbon-copy the freebsd-questions list to make sure your

If Apache is running PHP as an SO, they you should have something like
the following in /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf:

LoadModule php5_modulelibexec/apache/libphp5.so
AddModule mod_php5.c

Hi,

I have freebsd 6.2 router that has 3 NICs (lan, wan, dmz), suddenly 
(about two weeks ago) it started to hang without leaving anything in 
logs. I thought that it was hardware problem. So at first I changed 
motherboard, ram, cpu, NIC's, PSU, I kept changing everything but it was 
still hanging :/, reinstalled, but it didn't help.


Then we got brand new PC and I did fresh install of 6.2_RELEAS-200708, 
but to my surprise it was still hanging. There may by power issues, but 
in the same place there are 2 more servers : HP Proliant ML310 G4 with 
windoze and second is simple P4 1.6Ghz with 6.0-STABLE, both of them are 
not hanging.


Hanging machine is connected to the APC 350 ups, but it does not help.

Thank You for your thoughts.

 Haven't tried this yet, but will.
  If you are using a mailertable in Sendmail, please show us the mailertable

 Mailertable is like this for the 300+ domains:

Do all these MTA listeners use the same incoming port (2525)?

Re: Philosophy of default pkg_add -r PACKAGESITE?

2007-09-19 Thread Gary Affonso

First off, thanks to Kris and Mel for the previous definitive answers.

Let me see if I can summarize this correctly...

1) It's important that administrators who are taking advantage of 
pre-compiled packages (like me) use packages that have been compiled for 
their particular base system.


2) For users running a release base system, there is set of 
pre-compiled packages provided for use with their particular release.


These are the packages found on the FTP site in the release folders on 
the FTP site.


3) The default behavior for pkg_add -r on RELEASE systems is to source 
it's pre-compiled packages from the release directory matching the 
underlying base-system's release.


For a 6.2-RELEASE base system (for i386), pkg_add -r will source 
packages from...


  /pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.2-release

4) Those release packages are never updated for any reason.  The list 
of available packages neither increases nor decreases, the versions of 
the packages made available doesn't change, and (presumably) the 
packages are never recompiled once the release has occurred.


It's a static list of packages compiled (and tested) for a particular 
release and then never touched again.


5) If an admin wants to install pre-compiled packages that are not 
present in the default release directory, they can configure pkg_add 
-r to source packages from one of the other package directories by 
setting the PACKAGESITE environment variable to point to one of the 
other package directories.


6) Care should be taken when re-pointing PACKAGESITE as it would then be 
possible for you to install a package that's been compiled against a 
different version of some base-system library than you are currently 
running.




How'd I do?  Assuming I did well, a couple of more questions...

1) Regardless of what base-system version you install, eventually the 
base system will need to be updated (in the least, to apply security 
updates).


So generally one important decision is what version of FreeBSD you're 
going to track when doing updates.  Security?  Stable?  Current?


So what's the recommended application install-procedure if you start 
with a release system and then track security via freebsd-update? (A 
common scenario, I presume.)


It would seem that pkg-add -r is a no-go in this case.  If you leave 
pkg_add -r pointing to it's default source, it'll grab packages 
compiled against the release system which, while unlikely, may have 
libraries incompatible with your new base system that's tracking security.


If you change pkg-add -r to source from stable or release you're 
getting packages compiled against a base-system even more different than 
your own security base system.


As far as I can tell there is not set of pre-compiled packages that have 
been compiled against the secure track.


2) How does pkg_add -r know it's on a release system?  The handbook 
says that pkg_add -r will download from either the current, 
stable, or release package directories as appropriate.


How does it know I have a release system and not a stable system?

Particularly since my system is not *really* a release system once I do 
my first freebsd-update, right?.  At that point it becomes a system 
tracking secure, right?




Thanks again for the input so far.  The package thing is making way more 
sense, hopefully a few more clarifications and I'll grok it.


Thanks,

- Gary

2007-09-19 Thread jekillen

Hello;
Is there a utility for measuring the effective RPM of a hard disk?
A software tackometer?
I have IDE drives, SATA drives, both 7200 and 10,000 RPM,
as well as SCSI disks that are supposed to be running at 15k
RPM. I noticed that on the hard drive labels, those on the disk
case itself do not specifically indicate what speed they are supposed
to operate at. The two 10k SATA drives only had labels on the
antistatic packaging indicating that they are 10k drives. I would
like to verify the speeds of these drives. I am hoping that this is
not a case of misrepresentations that I have found on network
attached hard disk storage devices and Firewire drives.
I have one that was expressly advertised on the package to be
120 Gb capacity, and in fact only 111Gb are available for storage.
That is a 9 Gb discrepancy. A Fire wire drive I have is also designated
as 120 Gb and actually only has 117 Gb usable capacity.
Like 9Gb is enough for several operating systems. 3Gb is even
enough for an operating system.

Can anyone shed some light on this? (Storage device labeling,
and specifically, RPM specs)

I would ask the manufacturers but would be suspicious of bias
responses. That is what I got from one of them already.

Thanks in advance for responses.
The hard drives in question are running on FreeBSD systems
on homebuilt hardware. All AMD64 processors, ECS, Gigabyte,
and ASUS motherboards, Hard drives are Western Digital IDE,
SATA, and Seagate SCSI drives.

Run the manufacturer's diagnostic utility to check the drives speed and 
performance.  Most of these utilities also give you the drive model and 
serial number as well.  Look for a self-booting version that is a cd-rom 
ISO, these usually run FreeDOS to easily access the hardware from a cd-rom 
boot image.

 Subject: Cron not working till 28/08/07

 Hi all !!

 I had several crontab jobs in order to make backups.

 All worked fine till the 28-Aug-2007 when it seems to be stopped
 for some reason, I don't know why.

 I had a reporting in my mail box (external) also with daily,
 weekly and monthly reports, but suddenly all stopped (I don't
 receive nothing in my email).

 Can you help me?

I had the same problem.  It was after I did an upgrade.

I found that /etc/crontab had gotten copied somehow to
/var/cron/tabs/root.

I did get errors of 'root not found'. [or similar].

Check to see if that hasn't happened to you.

By any chance had you performed a  'crontab -e' and screwed
things up and deleted the cron.

/etc/crontab runs the daily scripts you should be getting.
Having that also in /var/cron/tabs made my daily messages go
away.

switching between WAPs

2007-09-19 Thread C Thala
I have two primary WAPs that I connect to on my FreeBSD desktop, my
rc.conf contains these entries:

   ifconfig_ipw0=ssid wap1 DHCP
   ifconfig_ipw0=ssid wap2 DHCP

The problem is that depending on which place I am at, I have to boot
up, have networking fail, edit the rc.conf file, comment out the WAP I
am not using and uncomment the WAP I am using and either restart netif
or reboot.

I have to do this everytime I go to the other wap.

That OS from the NorthWestern US seems to keep a list of WAPs and will
detect whenever you are in the vicinity of one and use the available
one. How can I get FreeBSD to do the same?

RE: Hard drive RPM

2007-09-19 Thread Brent Jones
 
As far as the 120gig != 111gig discrepancy, it sounds like the drive
manufacturer use 1 gig = 1,000,000,000 bytes instead of 1,073,741,824
bytes for their advertising.  It looks better on the box.  It gets messy
with drive advertisements as there's no required standard for how they
advertise a gigabyte, and whether it's formatted or unformatted
capacity.  I just assume they're advertising unformatted capacity with
1,000,000,000 bytes as a gig, then I'm pleasantly surprised in the end
if I have more than I expected.  :)

Re: Which knobs do I use to control BDB use in MySQL-server port?

 (2) Use the Port install of BDB v46 I mentioned above.

It does have a --with-berkeley-db=DIR flag, so you could add that to

There is actually more software available for FreeBSD than for Windows

you may be able to increase the amount of available space (of course, depending

man tuning should have a section on this, as well as your filesystem of choice

What you could do is install FreeBSD inside a virtual machine like Qemu,
to get some experience before you make the big jump.

 The one thing that I am concerned about however, is that since I am
 still a student I must have access to software that will allow me to
 make/view word docs.

OpenOffice, koffice and Abiword can handle word docs, IIRC.

 Also, I need to be able to run iTunes for my iPod. 

If you just want to put MP3s on your iPod, there are several
applications like gtkpod that can do that. If you want to buy songe
online from iTunes you're stuck with Windows or OS X, unless you can get
iTunes to run under the windows emulator Wine. 

 Now I am aware that there is a lot of shareware available

Most of the software available is actually free/open source software.

the build seems to /ignore/ the flag,

 grep berkeley-db ./work/mysql-5.0.45/config.log | grep $ ./configure
   $ ./configure --localstatedir=/var/db/mysql --without-debug
--without-readline --without-libedit --without-bench
--without-extra-tools --with-libwrap --with-mysqlfs --with-low-memory
--with-comment=FreeBSD port: mysql-server-5.0.45
--enable-thread-safe-client --with-openssl=/usr/local
--enable-assembler --with-berkeley-db
--with-named-thread-libs=-pthread --prefix=/usr/local
--mandir=/usr/local/man --infodir=/usr/local/info/
--build=i386-portbld-freebsd6.2

See that --with-berkeley-db in there? :-(
