Adding an extra Apache DSO module after 'make install'
List, Having built an Apache 2.0.58 from ports and watching it run, I realise that I forgot to include mod_negotiation. Is it possible to return the the ports directory, rebuild the package, this time with the addition module, and simply take the built mod_negotation.so and add it to the libexec/apache2 directory? Either that, or is there a more general method within the ports framework of taking a mod_*.c file and converting it to a DSO for inclusion with httpd after the fact? I.e, if possible I would like to avoid reinstalling the httpd world, but on the other hand, I don't want the new .so file to cause a segfault because of some sort of API mismatch.

Selecting CPU/architecture for new system?
Hi, I'm currently in the process of selecting hardware for a FreeBSD system having the main task of collecting network statistics via MRTG or RRDtool. In addition the machine in question should be used to collect netflow statistics plus providing a web-interface for displaying them. To give you an impression about the workload to be expected: Currently the system is a dual Xeon machine with 3GHz-CPUs reaching work loads (top) of 7 to 9. Disk-IO btw is not the problem. For the new system I thought about a 4-CPU machine, 4GB RAM - with either 32- or 64-bit architecture. Here are my questions: o) Should I stick with a 32-bit architecture (i386) or go for any of the 64-architectures? o) Is FreeBSD 6.1 considered equally stable under the i386 architecture as under any of the 64bit architectures? o) Are SMP-systems with 4 CPUs supported in i386? o) Are SMP-systems with 4 CPU supported in any of the 64-bit architectures? o) Anything else to consider in this context?

Re: ndis problem
Also after you have the .ko file, you need to load only that file into the kernel. That's what i did, because if i tried 'kldload ndis', it gave me an error that it's allready loaded. Another thing to check is if freebsd discovers anything on the pccard slot. I just reread Lorin's mail and noticed that : snip I added an ndis linen to loader.conf to load the .ko dmesg shows no error messages. But it doesn't show ndis0: being recognized either. When I manually try kldload ndis it says it is already loaded. /snip After compiling the module, with ndiscvt you get a module named if_ndis.ko THAT's what you load NOT ndis. #kldload path/if_ndis.ko or copy it into /boot/kernel and #kldload if_ndis Same thing with using ndisgen, only the file is named bcmwl5_sys.ko ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Do you need more then 4GB of RAM, if so then your only option is 64-bit. not true. but it's true if you need over 3GB of VM for single process. o) Is FreeBSD 6.1 considered equally stable under the i386 architecture as under any of the 64bit architectures?

Then copy original Windows drivers for wireless card in some directory. To cut the story, just run #ndisgen if you are runnig FreeBsd 6 or higher. Then you'll find all explanations you need on how to recompile Windows drivers for use in BSD. It will generate kernel modules. Copy it to /boot/kernel and load with #kldload name_of_the_file.ko.

The file should exist and have permissions like so: $ ls -l /etc/defaults/rc.conf -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 31735 May 15 18:48 /etc/defaults/rc.conf and it should have the following line within: $ grep lo0 /etc/defaults/rc.conf ifconfig_lo0=inet 127.0.0.1 # default loopback device configuration. All present. Still cannot connect to localhost. Take a look at the 'ServerName' directive in your httpd.conf file. Try uncommenting said directive, and put your IP address beside it. From httpd.conf, look particularily at the last paragraph: # ServerName gives the name and port that the server uses to identify itself. # This can often be determined automatically, but we recommend you specify # it explicitly to prevent problems during startup. # # If this is not set to valid DNS name for your host, server-generated # redirections will not work. See also the UseCanonicalName directive. # # If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here. # You will have to access it by its address anyway, and this will make # redirections work in a sensible way. However, I would think the hosts file would have done it though, but it's worth a try.

In fact you could take a computer with only half the RAM of the above, half
the disk space, and half the CPU speed, and still not have a problem running

I would suppose you could run it in an even smaller machine if you

Re: Recommendation for 1000BASE-SX card?
The intel cards that use the EM driver are the best performing cards in FreeBSD that we've tested. We've test cards made by the same company that use the broadcom controllers and the intel cards are substantially better (ie use less CPU passing the same amount of traffic). Be careful using on-board controllers. Usually vendors, for some reason, don't wire them to the pci-x bus. Most supermicro boards wire the em controllers to the 32bit/33mhz bus and the tyan and supermicro opteron boards we've tested wire the broadcoms to a shared 1x PCI-E, both of which will not only give you poor performance, but are not capable of running full gigabit rates.

The general outline is: fdisk(8) - Make at least one FreeBSD slice on it bsdlabel(8) - Make at least one partition in each slice newfs(8) - Build a filesystem on each partition created mkdir /newdska- create mount points for each partition to be mounted edit /etc/fstab to add mount definitions - presuming you want it mounted - whenever you boot. Something like: /dev/ad1s1a /newdsk ufs rw22 mount /newdsk - (or just 'mount -a' will do it) Mount the partition You can use sysinstall to do all this if you are squeemish about doing it youself.

Net dies after many torrent packets, BUG?!
Hi Not sure if this is already posted or already reported as a bug because i honestly don't have time for those things. I have reproduced this problem a few times but it has some special requirements. For example i download a torrent from a very fast peer in the rtorrent client. I have reproduced this with both rTorrent 0.4.5 - libTorrent 0.8.5 and two earlier versions which i don't remember. My friend is using the same versions as i am now and reported no problems in the latest development versions, he only started using them today. I have a 10/10Mbit connection at home and this happens when rtorrent is downloading at max speed. It varies somewhere around 7-10Mbit but never over 10Mbit by much. My friend only has a capacity of 1Mbit but got the same problem. This is why i'm reporting this because if it turns out that this can be reproduced by sending speciall crafted packets or packets in a special order then i guess it's pretty serious. I highly doubt this but still, a user process should not kill the net like rtorrent has done. Both me and my friend were running FreeBSD 6.0 RELEASE when this happened. I was not going to report this but a friend just told me he gets the exact same results on FreeBSD 6.0 so i felt i should tell someone. -- Med vänliga hälsningar Stefan Midjich aka nocturnal [Swehack] http://swehack.se ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In fact you could take a computer with only half the RAM of the above, half

I would suppose you could run it in an even smaller machine if you

Why do I bother? I have had the machine since 1997, and it

I presume that doing it from sysinstall in a running 6.0 system, the 'rm -rf' fails in spite of the force flag.

Re: Firefox, TrueType, Windows Fonts
In the last episode (Jun 01), Angelin Lalev said: I'm not certain to even ask the right question here, but here I go. Apparently, there are certain web pages that require specifically Arial and look like sh*th on Firefox. Since there is no Arial on FreeBSD and since I'm aware of the copyright and patent issues which prevent copying and displaying (correctly) Arial and other TTF fonts from Windows boxes, I was wandering is there a way to make firefox choose Helvetica instead of Arial and say Times New Roman instead of Tahoma and so on ... The Fonts dialog on Firefox seem to only address the choice of default Serif, Sans-Serif and Monospace fonts. Freetype2's auto-hinter (which does not infringe on any patents) should be able to display Arial from the x11-fonts/webfonts port just fine. http://freetype.sourceforge.net/patents.html -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: using bsdlabel
Jerry McAllister writes: The only thing you aren't doing in either of these cases is making that da0s1a bootable. If you want that, you need to do: That's because it already is, and I do _not_ want to change that. It's a 4.5 G disk. When I installed the system, I spent 0.5 G on /, 1 G for swap, another for /var ... and left the rest untouched. I now have a project that can use that space. OK. No problem. By the way, you can't run bsdlabel on a mounted and active slice. So, if you are booted to da0s1, then it won't work. You will need to do something like boot to the fixit CD or boot from another disk (which will change your device name for that moment). If I am doing it by hand, I would prefer using direct edit as in: (NOTE, you apparently already have some usable label on the disk) bsdlabel -e -r da0s1 This will bring up an edit session (vi unless you have your editor set to something else - I use vi) as follows. # /dev/da0s1: 8 partitions: #size offsetfstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 102400004.2BSD 0 0 0 b: 2097152* swap c:*0unused 0 0 # raw part, don't edit d: 2097152*4.2BSD 0 0 0 e:**4.2BSD 0 0 0 So (using the file method) I can specify the start, use '*' for the size, and it will compute the correct value for rest of the slice? Yes, you can do it both with file and edit method. You only need to specify the offset for the first slice and then * after that for offset. Then size for every one except the last which can also be * - and it will put everything left in to that last one.

Re: Problem with wireless card drivers
In 6.1 you do not need to recompile the kernel. You can load the drivers. kldstat will tell you what you have loaded. check 'man if_ndis' and/or the handbook for configuration setting, chipsets, etc. you can just do: cd /boot/kernel kldload wlan.ko kldload if_ndis.ko You may need the wep dirver if you are using encryption. After all that works, you can load by adding to /boot/loader.conf: if_ndis_load=YES wlan_load=YES This is just a guide. I have a thinkpad so I am not sure if the above is complete. In addition to the handbook and the man pages, you can find a lot of information via Google. Hope this helps. On Wed, 31 May 2006, Atanas Atanasov wrote: I am quite new to FreeBSD.

Did you compiled ruby yourself and used special CFLAGS? What kind of CPU do you use? yes,I've installed every package from ports,so ruby is compiled by myself also. This is the my make.conf WITH_SETUID_LUIT=true SUPHOST=cvsup.FreeBSD.org CPUTYPE=athlon-xp MAKE_IDE=true ENABLE_SUID_SSH=true NO_BLUETOOTH=true DOC_LANG=zh_CN APACHE2=true CJK=true CUPS=false DVD=true A lot of these are invalid, i.e. not the correct name. Is it because of optimizing of AlthonXP ? Probably, are you sure that is the CPU you have? Kris pgpMlO9rfbh3v.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: Replacing Sendmail with Postfix?

What advice can you offer about doing this on FreeBSD? What's involved, How do you do it, are there any gotta's (cron scripts?), etc? Is it just as simple as installing the Postfix port? How do you stop buildworld from reinstalling sendmail? /etc/mail/mailer.conf? Oh hmm, I see there's a section in the FreeBSD handbook that deals with this topic... Oh well I've already wrote this much... maybe you guy and gals have something more to add. make install clean - follow the instructions in the pkg-message file - done. (Except for any configuration you need to do. If it's a standalone server to send mail from localhost, you don't need to do anything to get it working.)
