php-mysql question
I just attempted to install php-templates. That seemed to install a newer version of mod-php4 from the ports. It seems that apache, ssl, php and mysql all work, but I cannot access mysql through php anymore. How does php know where to find the database structure of mysql? I have never had a php.ini, as I just went by the defaults. I wonder whether the defaults have changed in newer releases?

Could someone very familiar with openssh/chroot glance over http://probsd.ws/chroot.txt and tell me what I did wrong please? chroot.txt is an EXTREMELY detailed example of what I did, and script output of the ssh connection to the chroot. Hmmm... you are almost reinventing the concept of jail(8) here, which might be a better solution for you. The main difference from what you're doing is that a jailed sshd process would get it's own separate IP number. Some things you might find usefull: i) Copy /dev/MAKEDEV into your chrooted area and use that to create the device files you need: cp -p /dev/MAKEDEV /home/chrootuser/dev sh /home/chrootuser/dev/MAKEDEV jail --- the `jail' target should get you an appropriate set of devices. ii) Set up an additional logging socket in your chroot area and modify your syslogd flags to pick up syslog messages from there. You'll also need a copy of /etc/localtime in the chroot area so that your syslog messages get the correct timestamp.: mkdir -p /home/chrootuser/var/run cp -p /etc/localtime /home/chrootuser/etc/localtime cp /etc/rc.conf /etc/rc.conf.bak echo 'syslogd_flags=-s -l /home/chrootuser/var/run/log' /etc/rc.conf kill `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid` /usr/sbin/syslogd -s -l /home/chrootuser/var/run/log You can then turn up the logging level in /home/chrootuser/etc/ssh/sshd_config by altering the LogLevel value: a LogLevel of DEBUG3 will give you a great deal of output showing a blow by blow account of just about everything the sshd does. iii) Make sure you can resolve addresses in the DNS from your chroot environment. It should be sufficient to copy over /etc/resolv.conf cp -p /etc/resolv.conf /home/chrootuser/etc/resolv.conf iv) If you want to be able to run ps(1) from the chroot area, then you need to mount a procfs(5) file system inside your chroot area. This isn't really necessary for sshd to operate correctly though: cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak cat EOF /etc/fstab proc/home/chrootuser/proc procfs rw 0 0 EOF mount /home/chrootuser/proc cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way Tel: +44 1628 476614 Marlow Fax: +44 0870 0522645 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

USB: ugen0: device problem
Hi,
I've been trying to get an alcatel speedtouch usb modem working and after
spending all afternoon struggling with it I've concluded that I don't have
USB working at all :(
I also have a xerox docuprint p8ex printer which I am using to test whether
usb is working - although I'm not concerned with making this print.
Here are my details:
I'm running FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE, I've got a dual P2-350 with a Gigabyte
GA6BXD motherboard.
The onboard USB ports are identified as Intel 82371AB/EB (PIIX4) USB
controller.
I've updated the motherboard's bios to the latest version (F4b).
I removed a network card that was sharing an irq with the usb device so
their are definitely no irq conflicts.
A complete dmesg output is included at the end of the message along with the
output from usbd -dvvv
If I boot the machine with the usb devices attached they are recognised:
ugen0: ALCATEL Speed Touch USB , rev 1.10/0.00, addr 2
ugen1: Lexmark International, Inc. Color Jetprinter 5500\^H?\^H, rev
1.00/0.63, addr 3
But any attempt to use the adsl modem will cause the following error:
grody# modem_run -f /usr/local/libdata/mgmt.o -m -d /dev/ugen0 -v 2
Gotcha, I found your ADSL ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB modem!
(The modem lights will then start flashing for a while, then go red, then
switch off)
ugen0: at uhub0 port 1 (addr 2) disconnected
ugen0: detached
BLOCK1: Input/output error
Uploading /usr/local/libdata/mgmt.o failed! Continuing anyway ...
pusb_set_configuration 1: Inappropriate ioctl for device
I originally thought it was just problems getting the alcatel driver going
but the following happens when I try to plug either the printer or adsl
modem into the machine while it is already running:
uhub0: device problem, disabling port 1
Does anyone have any ideas? I'm completely lost. I thought being a regular
(and a bit old) intel chipset the usb would be pretty generic. After a _lot_
of searching through google and ml archives i'm thinking it might be a
problem with gigabyte boards - I saw a lot of (unanswered) messages with
similar problems from people with gigabyte boards.
Thanks
Jason.

First, I suggest you try the latest drivers, if you haven't already, (see http://www.xsproject.org/speedtouch/) The modem lights going off completely though sounds like it's the old problem of the speedtouch drawing too much current from the usb ports - they pull more than the recommended maximum, and some chipsets detect this and shut the port down to prevent overload. Try running the modem though a powered usb hub, or try a plug in pci usb card of different make. (both these worked for me.) This is the same problem whatever OS and software you use If nothing there helps, you can try asking on the speedtouch mailing list - subscription details on that same web page above.

How are you calling the script? You must give the absolute path on

Hi all,
I am using apcupsd installed from ports with no mods.
apcupsd itself runs fine but the script /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apcupsd.sh
returns:
apcupsd.sh: Cannot determine the PREFIX
when I try it.
I assume there are some Linux specific paths in there?
How are you calling the script? You must give the absolute path on
the command line, or the first block (if ! ...) will make it bomb out
with the error message.
You are correct.
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/apcupsd.sh start|stop
will work.
Now, how would I modify the script to make sh apcupsd.sh start|stop
executed from /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ work?
That's not needed, if the script is executable it will be started
at boot time.

I use op (from the ports/packages) to permit ordinary users to mount the cdrom. This is a sort of super sudo command that you use to give limited or full access with or without passwords to various commands. It means that ordinary users would mount with op mount /cdrom rather than just mount /cdrom. Myself, I alias mount to op mount in my ordinary user profile. -- Brian, the man from Babble-On . . . .
