Re: php4-cgi -- internal server errror (solution)
Yeah, I know it's odd. I had different problem from what you had, but after building php by hand (not using portinstall), it worked perfectly. I didn't check which of the default option turned on by the port caused my problem though. My problem was when apache tried to run php compiled as cgi from port, for some reason it uses php to parse the php cgi module itself which I thought was funny and weird. This is one of the few things you can't fully rely on ports because the application is very specialized in this case (the mapserver + mapscript) I think. I wonder if anyone is working on the port of UMN Mapserver to FreeBSD port system as one of GIS application ? But seeing the thing is such a huge pain to configure, I'm not sure if anyone is willing to do it ;) From: Benjamin Thelen (CCGIS) [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: php4-cgi -- internal server errror (solution) Date: Sat, 30 Aug 2003 23:06:49 +0200 (CEST) MIME-Version: 1.0 Received: from vogon.ccgis.de ([212.79.172.106]) by mc9-f42.bay6.hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.0.2195.5600); Sat, 30 Aug 2003 14:11:09 -0700 Received: from amavis by vogon.ccgis.de with virus-scanned (Exim 3.35 #1 (Debian))id 19tDBU-000412-00for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Sat, 30 Aug 2003 23:23:00 +0200 Received: from center.sz ([192.168.1.20] helo=center.shared)by vogon.ccgis.de with esmtp (Exim 3.35 #1 (Debian))id 19tDBR-00040u-00; Sat, 30 Aug 2003 23:22:57 +0200 Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1] helo=center)by center.shared with smtp (Exim 3.35 #1 (Debian))id 19tCvp-K9-00; Sat, 30 Aug 2003 23:06:49 +0200 Received: from 192.168.2.109(SquirrelMail authenticated user thelen)by vogon.ccgis.de with HTTP;Sat, 30 Aug 2003 23:06:49 +0200 (CEST) X-Message-Info: JGTYoYF78jHPQtCuKTXOg+REQOjKFQsH X-Scanned-By: AMaViS-ng at Geo-Consortium Bonn Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In-Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] References: [EMAIL PROTECTED] User-Agent: SquirrelMail/1.4.1 X-Priority: 3 Importance: Normal Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-OriginalArrivalTime: 30 Aug 2003 21:11:09.0710 (UTC) FILETIME=[3C032AE0:01C36F3B] Hi, I think I know what you're talking about, it's the UMN Mapserver for GIS application. Basically it's the php-mapscript part which needs php to be compiled as cgi. It's a wonderful open source GIS app which works very nice and very stable once configured correctly but it's a major pain in the butt to get it right. As for the internal server error premature end of script header, it could be either one of the many reasons : - the http header is not properly generated. - wrong permission - wrong directory path - apache port is screwed. - php4-cgi port is screwed. - and some other reasons unknown. Try writing a simple php script which contains ?php phpinfo() ? and cat it through the php binary in your cgi-bin. See if it generates proper HTTP header + all the config stuffs correctly. I upgraded to php4.3.3rc4 from the port on my own box and I have different problem altogether. The last working version of php compiled as cgi for me is from 4.3.0 version, that is, not installing from port but by hand instead (tar xzvf, config,...manually). So try by hand as well, and see if anything changes. You do have a backup copy of last working php-cgi binary, don't you ? Sorry can't help any farther but I share your pain man.

Systems: FreeBSD 4.7 (mod_php4 - a little changed) 4.8 (php4-cgi - the latest) Apache 1.3.27 and 28 We need to run php as cgi, because of the requirements of software we run (called umn-mapserver - if somebody knows). Half a year ago I basically followed the instructions I found on the umn-mapserver wiki-pages: I quote, that's shorter: (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PHPMapScriptCGI) quote PHP's default 'configure' behavior is to build a 'php' CGI executable. It's the --with-apxs and/or --with-apache PHP configure options that enable PHP to be built as an Apache DSO. ...to build PHP as a CGI ... don't provide the --with-apxs or --with-apache switch to the PHP configure. Then once you have a 'php' executable, copy it to your server's cgi-bin directory and add to your httpd.conf: AddType? application/x-httpd-php .php3 AddType? application/x-httpd-php .phtml AddType? application/x-httpd-php .php Action application/x-httpd-php /cgi-bin/php /quote As I could not find an ordinary php-port (not sure now, it's month ago), I removed one --with-apxs entry within the Makefile from www/mod_php4 (!)
MBR Corruption and Restore
Hello All! Unfortunatly, i was having a minor hard disk problem on my first FreeBSD installation, and (so used to Debian) i thought i could fsck after shutdown now. Apparently this was not the case, as my file systems were still mounted. After a quick re-install, with backups, it appears my MBR is corrupted as it will not start the /boot/loader and my BIOS recognizes my disk as a non system disk (FreeBSD has been re-installed, to get into the system i use the boot2 from the bootable CD). Is there anyway i can manually install the FreeBSD boot loader while in the system? I figured it is dd'ing the /boot files to the beginning of my hard disk, but i don't know what location nor how safe this is.

What I'm wanting to do is to use the DV (digital video) out jack to export video from my computer to a VCR and a TV.

Filesystem problem
Hi. I have been experencing some filesystem problems for the last month or so. I was running 4.8-STABLE and updated to 5.1-RELEASE-p2. While I was running 4.8 and I tried to run a command that required hard disk activity, the process would 'hang' and I would no longer be able to ssh or telnet in. I would get stuck after typing in my login. Running 5.1 is a different story. I did a clean install of 5.1-RELEASE and cvsup'd to -p2. Every time I do this, it's great for a day or so then it acts up. Before after it started, even if I rebooted it would immediately start up. On 5.1, it is only hanging for that process and everything else is fine. I can still login, webserver responds, etc. Here is a little info: FreeBSD devel.neoninternet.net 5.1-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE-p2 #0: Sat Aug 23 20:12:41 PDT 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/SLURPEE i386 CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2600+ (2086.51-MHz 686-class CPU) real memory = 1073676288 (1023 MB) ad0: 117246MB Maxtor 6Y120P0 [238216/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA133 root 1173 0.0 0.1 1436 916 p3 D+6:38PM 0:00.00 man vmstat root784 0.0 0.1 752 636 d0 D 4:34PM 0:00.02 make all DIRPRFX=i386/libi386/ root847 0.0 0.0 312 212 d0 D 4:34PM 0:00.00 (cc) root848 0.0 0.3 4104 3488 d0 D 4:34PM 0:00.01 (cc1) root849 0.0 0.1 928 668 d0 D 4:34PM 0:00.00 /usr/bin/as -o comconsole.o - last pid: 1252; load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 up 0+02:37:22 19:04:48 64 processes: 1 running, 63 sleeping CPU states: 0.0% user, 0.0% nice, 0.0% system, 0.0% interrupt, 100% idle Mem: 34M Active, 23M Inact, 38M Wired, 204K Cache, 22M Buf, 906M Free Swap: 2048M Total, 2048M Free devel# vmstat procs memory pagedisks faults cpu r b w avmfre flt re pi po fr sr ad0 da0 in sy cs us sy id 1 7 0 144612 928056 16 0 0 0 9 0 0 0 3310 254 0 0 100 Anyone have any suggestions?

OT: xterm setup
I recently upgraded my desktop to Gnome2, and of the various things that are causing me grief, the biggest is what's happened to my xterm windows. Now, after the change, it does three things differently and annoyingly: (1) it defaults to black/colored text on a white background; (2) it doesn't have a scrollbar of any sort; and (3) there's no menubar with basic File/Edit etc. options. I can somewhat get around (1) by launching it with xterm -r, although while this does display white/colored on black, it also makes other menus (e.g. those launched with ctrl-[mouse buttons]) look incomplete. But (2) is the worst; I really need to have scrollbars with this. I see that there's a toggleable option to Enable Scrollbar that I get to with ctrl-Mouse2, but this isn't a regular scrollbar that I can click up and down on, with a moveable thumb, etc., as I used to have before the upgrade and as the gnome-terminal has now. I'd be very grateful for a solution to this. Is there a mailing list for Gnome questions? I couldn't easily find one on the Gnome site, and I have various questions not specific to FreeBSD. Thanks.

Re: USB - PS/2
Just noticed that the patch to usbd.c I proposed yesterday shows an
undesirable behaviour. That is, usbd executes the actions in
usbd.conf of all matching devices, which is not exactly what I meant
to do. In fact, usbd should execute for every device name the best
matching action in usbd.conf.
Supposed usbd.conf is sorted in a way that the most specific entries
precede the less specific ones, the following patch should do the
trick.

Perhaps you could try throwing all the debug switches on in the usb drivers

Re: Opera 7b4 does not render frames properly
Dear Arjan, After starting Opera I surf to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/. I then browse around a bit and after a while I return to the API page. I can still see the frame outlines, but the pages are grey. This is a known bug in B4, it has problems with frame pages. You'll see the same behavior on Google Groups, for example. All betas after B4 don't have this problem. The updated port for B7 is in PR ports/56181 (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=56181), but so far I haven't found a committer to commit it. I have tried the patch. The Makefile part does not seem to apply cleanly becuase of the CVS $FreeBSD$ header. Perhaps that should not be part of the patch. Other than that it works fine. The new version of the port does indeed fix the problem that I was seeing. Thank you for the prompt response.

Re: OT: xterm setup
Jesse Sheidlower wrote: I recently upgraded my desktop to Gnome2, and of the various things that are causing me grief, the biggest is what's happened to my xterm windows. Now, after the change, it does three things differently and annoyingly: (1) it defaults to black/colored text on a white background; (2) it doesn't have a scrollbar of any sort; and (3) there's no menubar with basic File/Edit etc. options. Sounds like the gnome terminal or eterm. The standard xterm doesn't give you a menubar. I can somewhat get around (1) by launching it with xterm -r, although while this does display white/colored on black, it also makes other menus (e.g. those launched with ctrl-[mouse buttons]) look incomplete. You can set up .Xresources to change the behaviour of all xterms: XTerm*reverseVideo: true XTerm*ScrollBar:off XTerm*SaveLines:300 But (2) is the worst; I really need to have scrollbars with this. I see that there's a toggleable option to Enable Scrollbar that I get to with ctrl-Mouse2, but this isn't a regular scrollbar that I can click up and down on, with a moveable thumb, etc., as I used to have before the upgrade and as the gnome-terminal has now. Also: XTerm*ScrollBar:off XTerm*SaveLines:300 and 'xterm -sb' Hmm. I certainly thought I was using xterm, as I recall setting up the icon to launch xterm, and my .bashrc is setting TERM to xterm-color rather than gnome-terminal or anything else. TERM states the capabilities of the terminal. Since most terminals implements the same feature set for input as xterm does, they use the same entry in termcap. Is it possible that the functional scrollbars, etc., were an addition of the window manager, and if so is there any way to replicate it now? Use eterm or any other clone.

The installs are always fast and only the builds take much time. Are there any pitfalls I should be aware of (seeing that this would be the first time I attempt such a thing). That you have done a full src-all on your cvsup. There are also some options that help in your /etc/make.conf. From what I saw a little while ago, the default make.conf is now in the examples directory. Don't let mergemaster replace your hosts entries and your user entries in master.passwd and groups. I edit the password entries manually with vipw and groups with vi. If you have a special /etc/printcap, it will try to replace it. Just pay attention is all that is required.

I follow current, since I don't think 5.x is up to 4.x release quality at this point. I don't think it is far off, just not quite there. A buildworld, which is the longest part of an upgrade, requires 50+ minutes on my AMD 1600+ with 512 MB of DDR-266 memory and 3 ATA-100 HDs. Having less memory won't affect the build time unless you produce swaping. Having both /usr/src and /usr/obj on the same HD will also increase compile times. The buildkernel probably takes on the order of 10 minutes since it is long enough that I won't sit there to watch and I haven't timed my build script. The installs probably take less than 5 minutes.

Mail notificator (iconized) for checking remote pop server ?
Hi, All my email arrives at a remote machine (RH 7.2 Linux box), from which I pop this email to my own FreeBSD PC. I'm searching a small application that notifies me by checking every few minutes the remote pop server for new mail. And it should do that while iconized (to get rid of all the window-manager's decoration around the window). My present solution does that, but is far too bulky for this purpose, since it needs full Netscape communicator running: Netscape communicator (netscape -mail) is running on my own PC and iconized. It pops the remote mail server every 10 minutes. Note that Netscape communicator is the only application, as far as I, that changes its appearance on new email, when iconized! Is there another, much smaller, application that does this too? (The archaic xbiff, for example, does neither change its appearance when iconized, nor can check a remote pop server).

fast typing
When recently I've switched to a PS/2 Keyboard attached to a USB converter I started to experience strange typos. The problem is extra characters sent to the machine while typing fairly fast. It can be easily reproduced doing this: 1. xset r off 2. press and keep pressed a key, say 'd' 3. press and keep pressed another key, say 'w' 4. release the first key 5. at this point you should see dwww which is not what I expect (dw) 6. release the second key 7. at this point I see a d On a PS/2 keyboard connected directly to a PS/2 port (no converter in between), this doesn't happen. Unfortunately I've got no USB keyboard to try directly without the USB-PS/2 converter. I was wondering if this is a problem of the USB converter or a problem of the ukbd driver. Does anybody else experience the same behaviour?

Yes, of course. But zmore is smart enough to figure out what to do with
several compression techniques, or even to handle non-compressed files
very trivially and without hassle.
'zmore' is a simple shell script which calls gzcat | ${PAGER-more}. One
solution to your problem, or at least a solution, would be to change zmore to
look for a trailing bz/bz2 or invoke bzcat instead. Another would be to change
the sources of gzip to recognize the bzip2 magic files bytes, extending the
detection of gzip versus classic LZH used by compress.

The fact that your user time or sys time is faster doesn't mean much if the wall clock time is 1/3 longer. I haven't automated timing this part because I time the whole script and not just the build. I would cut off the right hand side but it is too trivial to use just time mkworld and cut and paste the time into a cat times.log of my builds. This also lets me add comments in addition to the build time information. For example, the AMD 2000+ was important because that was the first build after an upgrade from an Intel P III 866. The upgrade was needed because the old mobo went flaky. I think that once you have it setup, I will probably make my KISS simple script more complicated :). I have one machine that the mouse doesn't work in single user mode and including the timing into my mkworld script would save time. I can always go back and edit my time log to include the comments. If I have a choice, I would add the date field to the right hand side so that I can connect the time to the build log. I read briefly your web page about the -j urban legend. From the stats above, it looks like it runs faster without the -j flag...? That might be something interesting to play with on my Celeron 300 w/ 64MB. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
