Mac OS X has a complete unix freebsd-like core called darwin ( http://www.darwin.org ). There's no reason to install freebsd on it.

Installing ports from FreeBSD is about 50x easier than getting software compiled/installed on a Mac. I've been working with the Macs here at the office for a few weeks, and I've come to realize just how wonderfully well-maintained FreeBSD's ports are! I'd take FreeBSD over MacOS any day. Perhaps it will get better over time, but I'm not impressed with it right now. At the risk of digressing on this topic, I want to add that I am actually at this point deciding between FreeBSD for the migration (i.e. 4.x on an old Gateway to 6.x on a Intel Mac Mini) and Ubuntu. The idea of moving to Ubuntu is that it might be simpler and less time-consuming to maintain a package-based system rather than building so much from source as I end up doing on FreeBSD. And that the fact it is a GUI-focused distribution might simplify things a bit (the idea being that Ubuntu has a very set design, less open-ended than FreeBSD, perhaps easier to upgrade?). The GUI might also help when others who are less unix-savvy than I have to or want to work with the server. I considered migrating to OSX on the mini, and I do maintain an OSX Server machine at work, but I don't like the lack of a port system. Everything has to be built and fitted in manually, and all monitoring of updates is also manual labor. Fink has its usefulness for desktop software, but the server packages are lacking.

In that case, the quick fix is to install the compat5x port in misc. Be sure to update your ports tree before attempting this. This is the first thing to try if you must get your server up immediately. The alternative is to update your ports tree and then use portupgrade to reinstall ALL installed ports. This is the right way when you are sure you ports tree is in sync with your version of the OS, but it can be a long process even with a fast machine. If you did not upgrade to 6.x, you may have upgrade expat incorrectly (if memory serves), which might have happened if you used portupgrade to install or upgrade one of its many dependencies. Check the UPDATING file in the ports tree for information on correctly upgrading expat2. Possibly you installed apache from a binary that does not match your system. This should not have been possible, but oversights sometimes occur. It is impossible to be more specific without (at least) the following information: 1) What version of FreeBSD you are running (i.e. output of uname -a). 2) Did this version of apache ever work on your system? 3) Have you upgraded the system? 4) Have you used portupgrade to install something that might depend on expat? 5) Have you recently upgraded your port tree? Are you sure your port tree is appropriate for the version of the system you are using. -- Lars Eighner [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.larseighner.com/index.html 8800 N IH35 APT 1191 AUSTIN TX 78753-5266 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Then the screen saver daemon refuses to start in X windows with a permission denied error. It originally worked fine. But at some point recently the screen saver quit working. When I went to Gnome preferences and tried to set the screen saver I was informed that the screen saver daemon wasn't running. When I tried to have it start I was presented with the permission denied error and to check the $path variable. I tried installing MySQL twice, each time with the same problem. As I understand it, permissions in Unix are part of the file system format. The only possible link between MySQL and the screen saver daemon, possibly, is the mysql user needed to run mysqld. Could I have a corrupted file system in such a way as to cause permission problems? thanks in advance. JK Are you starting MySQL with the script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ upon bootup? Boy that was fast, I just posted this message a moment ago... No I was just testing it using the mysqld_safe --user=mysql approach. It won't work that way. Sorry, yes it does work that way. I've done this on another machine running the same version of FreeBSD and the instruction specifically specify to start the daemon this way to test the install. (I installed from source on both machines using the same source tarball). Every time I start this machine I start MySQL manually this way. (Since this is a production server, it is up continuously and it doesn't have Xwindows installed) I made the same mistake once myself. You might have introduced another problem however. The files created in '/var/db/mysql' [probable have the wrong permissions set on them. This is a possibility, I'll check it out. The easiest fix would be to just remove that directory and then start mysql properly. Usually '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server start' should do the trick. The directories will be build correctly. At then end of the build of mysql are directions for creating users. You do that after mysql has been started. not according to the instruction in the INSTALL-SOURCE. If you no longer have that information, I can supply you with it. I'm confused as to the class of user to assign mysql to. It shouldn't be a user that anyone can login as, nor have it's own home dir or login shell should it? adduser asks and expects answers to all these questions. I don't recall what I did on the machine that is running mysql. I guess I could look at the password file on that machine to get some idea. Since the machine that won't start MySQL also has XWindows intalled, the kdm login prompt list mysql as a user that can log into a windowing session. That shouldn't be necessary at all. That is why I think the issue with the screen saver daemon is connected to this. Just out of curiosity, are you installing MySQL from the ports system? I am just wondering because I have never had to take any extraneous steps to get MySQL up and running. After installing from ports, I would just run the script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d and things would work fine. Obviously, I had to place the mysql_enable=YES notation in /etc/rc.conf prior to starting MySQL. After that I would just create the passwords, etc. No, I installed it from a source tarball following the INSTALL-SOURCE instructions, the O'Reilly book, MySQL Reference Manual, and /configure --help I did this on two machines with AMD64 processors and FreeBSD v6.0 from a packaged cd set. On both machines, I installed from the same source tarball One has been successful with MySQL and the other not. I have installed several other non trivial software packages from the same source tarballs on both machines and they all went through with glitches that I was able to correct or work around. JK That would account for the difference in start up procedures then. If the original poster had installed from the ports collection, the startup scenario that you described would not be necessary, nor required. I believe the original poster had installed from ports. You should have made it known to him that you had not followed that route. Is there any particular reason that you are avoiding the ports collection for obtaining and install MySQL? -- Gerard Seibert [EMAIL PROTECTED] The frustrating thing is that the key to success doesn't always fit your ignition.

Re: libexpat.so.5 not found
something probably upgraded libexpat.so to .6. my .6 is located at /usr/local/lib/libexpat.so.6. what i do when i get into situations where one app demands an old version, is just symlink the old version to the new. ln -s /usr/local/lib/libexpat.so.6 /usr/local/lib/libexpat.so.5 this will cause apache to see a libexpat.so.5, but it will be using the .6 version. hth, jonathan On Sunday 30 April 2006 04:31, dharam paul wrote: I am getting folloing error while I try to start apache : /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object libexpat.so.5 not found, required by http d /usr/local/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started usage: /usr/local/sbin/apachectl (start|stop|restart|fullstatus|status|graceful| configtest|help) Help please, dp __ Yahoo!

I would love to hear from people who have been down both roads, whether there is some sense to it, or if I should just stick with FreeBSD. A good way to make the right decision would be intensive testing of the systems you don't know (Debian/Ubuntu). Install them, read about them, see how they fit your needs. From my experience, running a server using a Debian-based system is a lot easier and safer (as long as you choose one of their stable releases). You get a well-tested set of software that does not change if you don't want it. Installing the latest security fixes is as easy as typing apt-get update followed by an apt-get upgrade. The downside with running stable is that after a while the software will be somewhat outdated. This is not a problem for servers, but many people don't like old software on their desktops (Debian-Stable aka Sarge comes with Gnome 2.8, for example). This is one of the problems that Ubuntu tries to solve: they try to get a new release done twice a year. A quite common answer to the question which distribution? is: Debian-Stable for servers, Ubuntu for workstations. hth, Uwe ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Most things are fine as usual, but i have some problems with the linux compatibility abi: I installed linux-firefox on a rh-9 base and it works fine but if i access websites with flash-content on them the system sometimes hangs for about 10 seconds and then reboots in a dirty way (like a hard reset) leaving all discs unflushed. Is the linux comp. abi not able to deal with x86 binaries on amd64? Another issue is that, though the native jdk-1.5 is working fine, the linux-jdk-1.4.2 vm (x86) just hangs at 100% cpu every once and when, especially the linux-firefox plugin. There are no panics or hintful entries in /var/log/* after reboot hyperkobold# uname -a FreeBSD hyperkobold 6.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE #0: Wed Nov 2 19:07:38 UTC 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 Thanks for any tips ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Frank, Glenn, Thank you for the *very* quick responses (to try sockstat -46p 55613). Actually, I had misread the source address (red face) - it's from someone else's machine with a similar IP I didn't recognise (second DSL was added earlier this week and a small co-hosting centre is now routed through my place).

No, you probably want something similar to the way SASL2 support is
compiled into the base-system version of Sendmail. In my `make.conf'
I have the following:
SENDMAIL_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include -DSASL=2
SENDMAIL_LDFLAGS= -L/usr/local/lib
SENDMAIL_LDADD= -lsasl2
While adding stuff to these variables please keep in mind that GCC on
FreeBSD has a major difference from the default GCC behavior: it does *not*
add /usr/local/include to the default include path or /usr/local/lib to the
default library search path. So you will have to add them yourself, as
shown above.
Hi,
Thank you Giorgos, this is the right direction. Your example was most
fortuitous, maybe even prescient. ;)
Heh! Sheer luck, sheer luck.
LDAP support in Sendmail requires that SASL support also be built in.
Great! I didn't know this, but SASL is one of the examples I could
easily find in /usr/src to copy/ into the reply :-)
SENDMAIL_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include -DSASL=2 -DLDAPMAP
SENDMAIL_LDFLAGS= -L/usr/local/lib
SENDMAIL_LDADD= -lsasl2 -lldap -llber
sendmail -d0.1 -bt now includes LDAPMAP and USE_LDAP_INIT
Cool! Just another useful bit, then, now that you got it all going.
Now you have to make sure you remember to rebuild Sendmail whenever
these libraries change version number. An easy way to do this is using
something like:
% gothmog:/home/build/src# cat -n ../rebuild-sendmail.sh
% 1 #!/bin/sh
% 2
% 3 DIRS=
% 4 DIRS=${DIRS} ./bin/rmail
% 5 DIRS=${DIRS} ./lib/libmilter
% 6 DIRS=${DIRS} ./lib/libsm
% 7 DIRS=${DIRS} ./lib/libsmdb
% 8 DIRS=${DIRS} ./lib/libsmutil
% 9 DIRS=${DIRS} ./libexec/mail.local
% 10 DIRS=${DIRS} ./libexec/smrsh
% 11 DIRS=${DIRS} ./usr.bin/vacation
% 12 DIRS=${DIRS} ./usr.sbin/editmap
% 13 DIRS=${DIRS} ./usr.sbin/mailstats
% 14 DIRS=${DIRS} ./usr.sbin/makemap
% 15 DIRS=${DIRS} ./usr.sbin/praliases
% 16 DIRS=${DIRS} ./usr.sbin/sendmail
% 17
% 18 export MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/home/build/obj
% 19
% 20 for dname in ${DIRS} ; do
% 21 ( cd ${dname} make clean make make install )
% 22 if test $? -ne 0 ; then
% 23 echo
% 24 echo FAILED while rebuilding ${dname}
% 25 exit 1
% 26 fi
% 27 done
% gothmog:/home/build/src#
I keep this script just one folder upwards of my usual build tree, and
then run it inside `/home/build/src' to rebuild the Sendmail bits.
Have fun,
- Giorgos

Hello guys,
in bsdnews.com i found this link http://kerneltrap.org/node/6506 and
particulary this:
I claim that Mach people (and apparently FreeBSD) are incompetent idiots.
Playing games with VM is bad. memory copies are _also_ bad, but quite
frankly, memory copies often have _less_ downside than VM games, and bigger
caches will only continue to drive that point home.
What do you think about it?
I claim that Linus is an attention whore. How about that?
Whether or not he is makes no difference. The context of that statement
involves somebody asking why Linux does not have Zero Copy when BSD does.
It seems, correctly or not, he believes the Mach people DO use Zero
Copy still and given the question (and apparently FreeBSD) fit the
answer. It's been observed here that Linus got it wrong about FreeBSD
using Zero Copy even though it is (apparently from this discussion)
still available. But then, it's not worth his time to actually track
what FreeBSD is doing. He's concentrating on Linux, which makes sense.
I'd not expect the equivalent FreeBSD people to be up on all the
nuances of Linux, either.
So rather than trying to make a huge flame war about this how about you
just drop it. It makes no difference to the world here if Linus IS an
attention whore or not. He's not HERE and he's not DEMANDING attention
from anyone here. So let's just drop it rather than be drips about it.

Problem with possible hdd crash
I installed Fbsd 6.0 a few days ago. I had X running one day and I come back to it and move my mouse a bit and my comp freezes up and the screen has some fragmentation lines on it. I do a hard reboot and I find that the image is very distorted, including the manufacturer before the bootloader. The distorted text was only the first reboot after this happened, however. I boot fbsd and I get some weird errors everytime: fsck: exec fsck_msdos for /dev/ad1s2 in /sbin:/usr/sbin: No such file or directory fsck: exec fsck_msdos for /dev/ad1s2 in /sbin:/usr/sbin: No such file or directory THE FOLLOWING FILE SYSTEM HAD AN UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY: msdos: /dev/ad1s2 (/media) Unknown error; help! init: /bin/sh on /etc/rc terminated abnormally, going to single user mode Now.. when I go into single user mode, no command seems to work besides cd and ls. I've checked this out with a linux live cd and the dir on this fs are all named wrongly with most having an asterisk in the middle of them, and some just missing alot of what they're named. I'd like to know what this possibly could have been, and how I can mount the fbsd fs from a live cd to get some config files off of it to make a reinstall easier, and see if I can maybe fix this by removing /dev/ad1s2 from my fstab. I did some stupid things with my X packages recently and uninstalled all of them, and then had to pkg_add all of them back, I was thinking this *might* have had something to do with it. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Getting DHCP to use resolv.conf?
I got this from the ISC-dhcp questions list. Note: This might not work, Not tested, No guarantees. Use this as starter code and after testing post what you get working for the list archives. In dhcpd.conf comment out the line option domain-name-servers and add following line include /etc/dhcpd.name-servers; This will include the contents of the named file into dhcpd.conf. It is easier to manipulate a small separate file containing only a single line, rather than trying to manage the whole dhcpd.conf file Every time dhcp-client runs it will try to run /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks file if it exists. Create a empty /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks file and populate with this ### Start of refresh dhcpd dns ip # This script will propagate to dhcpd the changed dns servers ip address # which dhcp-client puts in resolv.conf. # # In dhcpd.conf replace the option domain-name-servers line with this # # include /etc/dhcpd.name-servers; # # Spript uses the dhcpc variables to build temp line in dhcpd format. # Then compare temp content to production content. # If different replace production content with new content from temp, # and restart dhcp to reread dhcpd.conf containing new ISP dns ip addresses. # # logging event and sending email to user root is optional. # # Note: All LAN machines using dhcpd will not get new ISP dns ip addresses # until they reboot or their lease comes up for renewal. # # Each of the following lines must be one long line. IE: no wrap arounds # load my_domain_name_servers variable with ISP dns ip addresses from dhcpc my_domain_name_servers=`echo $new_domain_name_servers | sed -e 's/ /, /g'` # Create single line in file to be included in dhcpd.conf echo option domain-name-servers $my_domain_name_servers ; /etc/dhcpd.name-servers.tmp # See if different from what production file contains cmp -s /etc/dhcpd.name-servers.tmp /etc/dhcpd.name-servers if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then # move the new file into place mv /etc/dhcpd.name-servers.tmp /etc/dhcpd.name-servers # restart dhcp using whatever is appropriate for your platform #service dhcpd restart /usr/local/etc/rc.d/isc-dhcpd.sh restart -q # Write message to log to document event. logger -t dhclient ISP DNS IP address changed to $new_ip_address # Send notification email to root user.

Re: pkg_add -r openoffice Error: FTP Unable to get ftp:
Installing the openoffice port is truly an odyssey and one I did not successfully complete. Following the advise earlier in this thread, I abandoned that effort and installed the package. The names for pkg_add are a mystery to me as well. In an effort to get the correct name I walked the trees on ftp.FreeBSD.org and ftp2.FreeBSD.org not finding a package on either. Name (ftp2.FreeBSD.org:doug): anonymous 331 Guest login ok, send your email address as password. Password: 230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply. Remote system type is UNIX.

I would hope I missed something (easy?) here. If openoffice wants to supplant MS Office, or in my case koffice, a somewhat less esoteric install is required I think. After trying the openoffice.org-1.1 port, registering a JDK, installing same, and eventually, 3 hours later on my 1.8GHz system with 1GB memory, the build failed and happily I found this thread. The end result of all this is: openoffice.org javaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Environment! I18N: Operating system doesn't support locale en_US In testing so far, I can not see what I am missing and I like this much better than koffice. However I found the install to beyond using vi, more like using ed. I think I am going to like OOo a lot and wish the project much success.
