Re: BSDstats: Just added - Vendor Stats

On 8/27/06, Nikolas Britton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

What I think is interesting is the only ~50% uptake of FreeBSD/amd64
on 64-bit x86 capable systems. FreeBSD/i386 takes ~90% of the pie.
Also the less then 1% uptake of sparc64 and alpha ports and 0% for
FreeBSD/PPC. Maybe we should can some of these platform ports, how
much overhead do they add to the project?


Speaking of sparc64 specifically, what you see in the stats most
probably doesn't reflect reality.
One of the sparc64 machines in the stats is mine and is at home.
Most sparc64 machines running FreeBSD will be at companies (as non
sparc64) and of those you'll only get a small percentage of them
reporting to bsdstats. Even if you got the sysadmins to install
bsdstats you have to convince the security team on having a call home
app running.
Just Kris Kennaway's playing sparc64 machine with 14 cpus, has more
than the sparc64 cpus currently reported in the sparc64 category.
And after Sun handing over some new machines with the Niagara cpus to
the FreeBSD folks to port to what would you say to Sun and the
developers who committed to this?

Again, I think we're seeing a distorted version of reality here and
shouldn't be jumping to conclusions very fast.

Re: Intel 64bit / AMD 64 bit advantage

2006-08-27 Thread ke han
Generally speaking, mail and file server are not RAM intensive.  A 32  
proc can directly address 4GB RAM (2**32).  FreeBSD allows you to  
address more than 4GB on a 32 bit proc but limited to 4GB max per  
process.  The actual per process limit will be a bit less, I think.   
A 64 bit proc can get you 2**64 bits of directly addressable RAM and  
therefore a much higher per process setting.  But if your aren't  
investing in huge amounts of RAM, you are not getting much benefit  
from 64 over 32 bit proc.
Anyway, there is no benefit to running a mail or file server on 64  
bit process ors unless you must have more than 4GB total diectly  
addressable RAM or any single process must get near the 4GB threshold.
32 vs 64 bits does not give you any raw performance boost for most  
apps.  The exception are mathematically intensive apps which would  
benefit from handling very large integers or floats as 64 bits in one  
go instead of breaking down into more than one process cycle to push  
through the same numbers.  A mail or file server does no come close  
to needing this kind of 64 bit math.
A mail and file server is Hard drive and network intensive, NOT RAM  
intensive.
Spend your money on things like Hardware RAID and redundant power  
supplies, not 64 bit over 32 bits.

have a good day, ke han

RE: PHP5 and MySQL

2006-08-27 Thread Muhammad Omer Iqbal
I have gone through the mysql and php docs and there are some possible
solutions listed, none of those worked. Of course, I tried looking for a
solution first before sending it here, this is like one of the last resort
places, don't want to bug people with something trivial or easily fixable.

I can post the problem here, but again, I was not too sure if this is the
right place to post the questions. Anyhow, here it is.

PHP5 documentation says that mysql and mysqli libraries are no longer
shipped with PHP and refers to MySQL page and documentation on how to
install PHP support for MySQL. The precise solution is here:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/php-mysql-mysqli.html

I first tried to enable only mysql, and then both mysql and mysqli. I get
the same error in both cases on my web-server (MySQL is installed on the
same server too):

Fatal error: Class 'mysqli' not found in
/usr/local/www/apache22/data/test.php on line 7

Looking through phpinfo, I do not find mysql or mysqli installed, even
though I have enabled, remade and reinstalled both MySQL and PHP5. In fact,
I think that my PHP5 is no longer remade, it just reconfigures it and
reinstalls it because the build date shows as Aug 22 even though I did it
today and my server date shows as Aug 27. I installed both of these using
the ports collection, but then I had to manually download MySQL because of
versioning issues, and untar and install it using the command line.

Thanks,
Omer

What version issue are you referring to? I am assuming that you
installed both MySQL and PHP5 from an updated ports collection. Did you
run: 'make config' in the PHP5 directory before building the port?

As for this:

ports collection. Did you
run: 'make config' in the PHP5 directory before building the port?

I recently installed Apache 2.2, so it is as updated a ports collection as I
could get. I did make config. Even if I just do make, or make install, it
runs config first and then does the install. However, like I said, I did
make config and then did a remake, that did not really work - my PHP make is
still dated Aug 22.

 PHP5 documentation says that mysql and mysqli libraries are no longer

 get the same error in both cases on my web-server (MySQL is installed 
 on the same server too):

 /usr/local/www/apache22/data/test.php on line 7
 
 Looking through phpinfo, I do not find mysql or mysqli installed, even 
 though I have enabled, remade and reinstalled both MySQL and PHP5. In 
 fact, I think that my PHP5 is no longer remade, it just reconfigures 
 it and reinstalls it because the build date shows as Aug 22 even 
 though I did it today and my server date shows as Aug 27. I installed 
 both of these using the ports collection, but then I had to manually 
 download MySQL because of versioning issues, and untar and install it
using the command line.

Please don't top post!

What version issue are you referring to? I am assuming that you installed
both MySQL and PHP5 from an updated ports collection. Did you
run: 'make config' in the PHP5 directory before building the port?

Sorry, typo. 

 I recently installed Apache 2.2, so it is as updated a ports collection
as I could get.

I meant to say I recently installed FreeBSD 6.0.

I recently installed Apache 2.2, so it is as updated a ports collection as I
could get. I did make config. Even if I just do make, or make install, it
runs config first and then does the install. However, like I said, I did
make config and then did a remake, that did not really work - my PHP make is
still dated Aug 22.

Woah! It's way, way too soon to start making any decisions based on the
bsdstats site.  There's less than a thousand machines reporting stats
so far -- that's a very small fraction of the FreeBSD total machines
around the world.  As it is a single small company or user with half 
a dozen machines submitting their data could have a radical effect on
the ordering of many of the tables available on the site.

The BSD Stats site is going to need some serious popularization before
it provides a statistically significant sample.  It would probably take
getting the 300.bsdstats periodic job incorporated into the base
system and having a 'please register your system' option fairly
prominently displayed in the installer for several releases to make it
really effective.

The PHP5 port has been divided into a fairly large number of modules.  To
add MySQL support within PHP5, simply install the databases/php5-mysql
port. (Or php5-mysqli, but only if you're running mysql-4.1.x)

Note that php5-mysql will cause one of the mysql-client ports to be
installed as a dependency -- unless you install one of the other versions
before hand, that will get you the mysql 5.0.x client.  You will still
need to install one of the mysql server ports, unless your DB is physically
hosted on a different machine.

Oh -- and the other trap for newbies is that you need to 'make config'
in the lang/php5 port and make sure the 'Apache' box is checked before
you'll get the Apache PHP5 module built and installed.

Cheers,

Matthew

Depends on what you really mean by support for right to left, in all
GTK2+ and QT3+ applications you have proper support. This means if you
are running recent versions of GNOME or KDE then you have no issues.
On the other hand, you can write in these languages as well.

Well, considering we are only seeing ~2 weeks of stats, I think its a bit

But, as far as 'overhead do they add', my guess is next to zero ... those 
working on those ports are most likely those more familiar with PPC/Sparc 
then they are with Intel stuff, so, in essence, we've attract those 
developers to us vs converted existing developers over to those platforms

OpenOffice2 with german user interface

2006-08-27 Thread Martin Schweizer
Hello 

My goal is to run OpenOffice 2.0.3 on FreeBSD 6.1/KDE 3.5.3 with a german user 
interface. Until 
now OO is only in english. I did the following:

- Changed the localization as described at 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/using-localization.html
 (in 
/etc/login.conf). The console and KDE is now in german (perfect!).

- Installed OpenOffice with make LOCALIZED_LANG=de install (after I did make 
install)

- installed the RPMS from 
http://oootranslation.services.openoffice.org/pub/OpenOffice.org/2.0.3rc7/

- Read a lot on openoffice.org 

Any hints?

My installation also completed without any problems. However, it is the

only when you try to connect to mysql from a php web-page.

Otherwise, my server runs php just fine, and I am also able to run mysql and

been largely unsuccessful. Here are a few things I tried:
1) Added user to the 4th field (options) in /etc/fstab
2) Added vfs.usermount=1 to  sysctl.conf
3) Created a group called optical and added the root and alpha to it
4) Added following lines to devfs,conf :
own /dev/acd0 root:optical
perm /dev/acd0 0770
own /dev/acd1 root:optical
perm /dev/acd1 0770
5) Rebooted machine and tried to mount /dev/acd0 into /cdrom and it failed

I have one of these running mail right now.  Here's what I found:

1) The onboard ethernet chip driver in 6.1-release is buggy and
will panic the system.  Install and don't enable ethernet.  Download
the current bge driver from CVS, copy to a floppy, copy from
floppy to server, recompile kernel.

2) Turn off the onboard SATA raid in BIOS, it uses adaptec
microcode that isn't supported.  If you want mirrored raid, there's a
procedure that you can do to get it.

3) for some weird reason the system will hang during boot for up
to TWO MINUTES.  After it gets done doing whatever it's doing,
it will continue booting.

Install normally, don't do anything special.  BIOS settings should
be normal.

Woah! It's way, way too soon to start making any decisions based on the
bsdstats site.  There's less than a thousand machines reporting stats
so far -- that's a very small fraction of the FreeBSD total machines
around the world.  As it is a single small company or user with half
a dozen machines submitting their data could have a radical effect on
the ordering of many of the tables available on the site.

The BSD Stats site is going to need some serious popularization before
it provides a statistically significant sample.  It would probably take
getting the 300.bsdstats periodic job incorporated into the base
system and having a 'please register your system' option fairly
prominently displayed in the installer for several releases to make it
really effective.



I'm being devils advocate here, we don't need to make any rash
decisions etc... It's just something to think about.

That goal is not realistic.

 I was first thinking about using Linux-HA aka. heartbeat and syncing

One question is whether your uptime definition means someone can 
connect via IMAP or someone can connect via IMAP and IMAP 
acknowledgements of state-changing operations are guaranteed to be 
replicated across the cluster. If you actually want your cluster's 
semantics to preserve email client operations in the face of the loss of 
one member of the cluster then rsync is not enough.

 What other solution would you think of ?

You might want to chase down the Cambridge patches to cyrus, which added 
an application-level transaction log to that particular imap server.

RE: PHP5 and MySQL

2006-08-27 Thread Muhammad Omer Iqbal
Thank you for the help!

It seems strange to have to install it again especially when I installed

When I tried to make, it tries to fetches MySQL 4.1 whereas I have 5.0
installed. How can I update the version?

I have updated Makefile.ext in PHP5 directory with DEFAULT_MYSQL_VER=50, but

RE: PHP5 and MySQL

I have HTML/php5 web site that connects to mysql5 database
and adds new records, deletes records and searches.

Sounds to me like you did not do make options and select
php-mysql interface of php5 before doing make install.
For some reason in Freebsd 6.1 they removed php-mysql
interface as default.
This was discussed in detail before on questions list.
Check archives for the details.

Understanding CARP

2006-08-27 Thread freebsd
Hi
 I'm new to FreeBSD but I'm loving it very much! I'm experimenting with CARP
to create a redundant router/firewall.
I created a functioning two machine routing cluster and it works very well
while configured for failover. I'm going to test it with load balancing and
I'm wondering about some problems that could arise.
Suppose I enable load balancing features.
Situation: my cluster (made by CL1 and CL2) routes from Net A to Net B. I
have an A_client and a B_Server. A_Client initiates a connection to B_Server
and the packet is routed by the CL1 machine.
The response packet comes from the B network (it is from B_Server) and is
taken by CL2 to be routed (asymmetric routing problem, as documented in the
man page). If no packet filtering occurs, there is no problem. But what if I
use IPFilter? Is there a way to keep the state between CL1 and CL2 with
IPFilter? 

Also I would like to know in which way packets flow to all the members of
the cluster in a switched environment, since they share the same mac
address. Is CARP using a technique like Microsoft NLB to avoid switches from
learning mac addresses? Does this lead, like using NLB, to flooding?

Thanks

ifconfig wi0 10 number HEX key arg ?

2006-08-27 Thread Bill-S
Hello Family,

I'm on a wifi network where all the other Unix(like) and Windows
laptops seem to be able to pass a ten (10) digit number as the
hex key.

In the ifconfig manpage for FreeBSD-6.1 it states, under the
stanza for wepkey that the number must be 5 or 13 chars long.

The number that is being used for the 10 digit key is:  

1466466946

So, I've tried numerous calc's to see if I can convert this to a
HEX, 5 or 13 char output and was wondering if I'm missing something.

Of course, when WEP is turned off the wireless nic works find.

Re: Intel 64bit / AMD 64 bit advantage

2006-08-27 Thread Wojciech Puchar

32 vs 64 bits does not give you any raw performance boost for most apps.  The


yes it will. FreeBSD/amd64 works at least 10% faster than FreeBSD/i386 on 
athlon64 machine, when i386 version were recompiled for P4. With default 
FreeBSD/i386 - it will be at least 30%.


just because it's not just 64-bit addresses, but twice 
the registers (r8-r15) allowing C compiler to generate more efficient 
code.


For now AMD64 is the fastest and cheapest architecture - at least with AMD 
processors, not intel clones. (YES now intel makes clones of AMD 
processors)

Try the following:  create a subdirectory in the users home directory.
example:  /home/steven/cdrom

mount_cd9660 /dev/acd0 /home/steven/cdrom

also, you can change the permission to 550
(read/execute by owner and group) no need for write permission.
make sure that your users are part of the optical group.
One more thing...users will not be able to mount anything to /cdrom
since it will belong to root/wheel.  Hope this helped you.

IPSEC, am I missing something?

2006-08-27 Thread Jim Stapleton

I was googling freebsd and vpn so I could use my notebook to
handle work stuff remotely, and I found this:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ipsec.html

guess I didn't need google. Regardless, it mentions a lot of kernel
options. I checked my kernel configuration file, to see if they had
been turned on, they weren't even in there and commented out let alone
on (as some optionals are).

What I found and added:
#ipsec: Required for VPN
options IPSEC#IP security
options IPSEC_ESP#IP security (crypto; define w/ IPSEC)
#ipsec optimsations
options FAST_IPSEC   # new IPsec (cannot define w/ IPSEC)
options IPSEC_FILTERGIF  #filter ipsec packets from a tunnel


before adding these, I just had the default 6.1 generic kernel file
with a few things commented and a couple uncommented.

Am I missing soemeting?

Thanks,

that is accessed.

 I have updated Makefile.ext in PHP5 directory with DEFAULT_MYSQL_VER=50, but

As a basic rule you should never have to directly edit any file

To make mysql-5.0.x the default version on your system, edit /etc/make.conf
and add:

WITH_MYSQL_VER= 50

Then do a 'make clean' in the php-mysql port and try again.

Re: Understanding CARP

2006-08-27 Thread Matthew Seaman
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 Hi
  I'm new to FreeBSD but I'm loving it very much! I'm experimenting with CARP
 to create a redundant router/firewall.
 I created a functioning two machine routing cluster and it works very well
 while configured for failover. I'm going to test it with load balancing and
 I'm wondering about some problems that could arise.
 Suppose I enable load balancing features.
 Situation: my cluster (made by CL1 and CL2) routes from Net A to Net B. I
 have an A_client and a B_Server. A_Client initiates a connection to B_Server
 and the packet is routed by the CL1 machine.
 The response packet comes from the B network (it is from B_Server) and is
 taken by CL2 to be routed (asymmetric routing problem, as documented in the
 man page). If no packet filtering occurs, there is no problem. But what if I
 use IPFilter? Is there a way to keep the state between CL1 and CL2 with
 IPFilter? 

If you're using CARP, then you should combine it with pf(8) rather than
IPFilter.  CARP was written by the same people that wrote pf.  

As for keeping state between both halves of a redundant firewall pair,
you need pfsync(4) -- generally that takes a dedicated network link between
both sides of the HA pair -- usually just a cross-over cable.  pfsync 
will replicate the state table to the other half of the HA pair, so failover
can be made seamless. See http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/carp.html 

You can't actually do any *load balance* with CARP.  It's purely a High
Availability function.  For firewalls it is usually used in Active/Standby
mode: one of the firewall pair handles all the traffic and the other just 
waits to take over if needed.  You can make an Active/Active pair by
configuring two carp VIFs on the pair and setting the weightings so that
each side gets one of the VIFs preferentially when everything is working OK,
but again, there's nothing there to actually *balance* the traffic over the
two VIFs.  Also, as a very reasonably priced machine nowadays will be
able to cope with running as a firewall at full 100Mb/s line speed on its
own, it generally doesn't achieve anything other than making the configuration a
lot more complex.

Cheers,

Matthew

Re: got a new monitor, trying to reconfig xorg

2006-08-27 Thread John Nielsen

Quoting Jonathan Horne [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
i just brought home new samsung 22 widescreen LCD.  so far, i cannot 
get xorg

to take anything other than standard CRT type resolutions, such as 1280x1024.

snip

the first part, seems to be the normal video modes that i would expect to see
from an i810 graphics card, but then right below that, i see video modes that
would be preferred on my new monitor (1680x1050) in a section
called Supported Future Video Modes.  does this mean there is a chance i
might see proper resolutions for my new monitor, without upgrading to some
other video card?

my computer has a 915G:

(II) I810(0): Integrated Graphics Chipset: Intel(R) 915G
(--) I810(0): Chipset: 915G


Last I was aware, the i810 was totally dependent on the adapter's video 
BIOS for determining and setting modes. The sysutils/915resolution port 
might be able to help you, but when I was experimenting with it I 
didn't try any widescreen modes.


I do think (again, no references) that work on the i810 driver is 
ongoing, but I don't know any details or ETA's for anything.

What DVD format? There is no DVD format. You can put files on one  
however you want. However, if you want a DVD player to read it, it  
has to be an ISO file system and files have to be in a certain place.  
This setup doesn't support mp3s directly, but you might want to look  
in to the dvd audio standard, and I'm not sure if there is a port  
for buring that, or not...


What I'm trying to say, is if you are just gonna play them back on

standard tools like mkisofs, etc..

Take a look at NetBSD.  It usually works fairly well on older hardware.

Otherwise I do know for a fact that FreeBSD 3.1 will install and run just
fine on such a machine.  (Later 3.x and 4.x versions of FreeBSD will also
run fine on that machine, but somewhere along that line (I think it was
around 3.4 but I am not certain) the minimum memory needed to *install*
FreeBSD increased to 12MB.)

If your DVD player can't play mp3s, then it can't play DVDs. ;)
Remember, mp3s are the audio layer of mpegs. And DVD videos consist of
mpegs. 
You can downsample mp3s via lame:

#!/bin/sh
for i in $(ls *.mp3);
do lame -b 16 $i -o $i.mp3;
done

This will leave you with with files named *.mp3.mp3. Check out
'basename' to solve this. Not that your DVD player is going to care.
Then use growisofs to burn your mp3s to a data DVD:

growisofs -Z /dev/insert_device_name_here -J -R .

This assumes you issue the growisofs command from the dir where your
mp3s are.
Happy listening,
 

Steve

But before you start, check if this actually solves the problem. There
is a well known problem with IPSec across NAT-firewalls: Authenticated
Headers don't work.

Not all kernel options are in the GENERIC file, look for the NOTES file,
platform specific NOTES are where you find the GENERIC for your
platform, but there is also a general NOTES.

Re: Proof of concept box with 8mB RAM

That box doesn't have enough memory to run a current version of
FreeBSD or Linux. Also what CPU does it use? FreeBSD 6.x, and I'm sure
Linux 2.6, removed 386 support. You need a 486 or better to run the
current version of FreeBSD. Does this box have a math coprocessor?

The recommended minimum requirements to run FreeBSD 6.1 is a Pentium
MMX, or equivalent, with 32MB of system ram. You can get by with less
but you won't like the results if you plan to use it as a workstation.
Use FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE or 5.5-STABLE for anything less then that.

Woah! It's way, way too soon to start making any decisions based on the

a dozen machines submitting their data could have a radical effect on
the ordering of many of the tables available on the site.

The BSD Stats site is going to need some serious popularization before
it provides a statistically significant sample.


Definitely in agreement here ... this wasn't meant as a quick-n-dirty

I'm going to post some summary statistics at the end of each month, to act

File associations, Mime-types and X

Freebsd?  Are they handled on the OS level, Xwindows, or is it handled by 
the actual Window Manager such as KDE or Gnome?  Just curious because I'm

Okay, so basically your problem is that cvsupd is crashing.  I doubt
it matters whether the client is cvsup or csup.  For a start, run
cvsupd in verbose mode to see what it notices about the problem before
it hits the bus error.

However, to the original post, you will not see 10-30 % performance

 Not necessarily. Both of my current DVD players can play a DVD full of

 Another possibility would be to convert to MP2 audio and make a minimal 
 video stream to go alongside the audio - say, a black screen, and make a 
 DVD Video disk using something like transcode. I don't know what the 
 bare minimum video bitrate is for DVD, but I know you can get a good few 
 hours that way, in a format that would play on any DVD player. I've been 
 meaning to try this for ages.

Well, if/when you *do* try, please clue me in.  --I'm too new to

You could try FreeBSD 2.2.9! It was released April 1st 2006.

Releases which are published from a -STABLE branch will be supported
by the Security Officer for a minimum of 12 months after the release.
http://www.freebsd.org/security/security.html#adv

So technically it's a current and fully supported release of
FreeBSD!!! hahahaha! :-0

Hello FreeBSD Gurus!!!

I am wondering if any of you could help me to select a Good  Reliable
hardware for Dedicated FreeBSD Web/Database Server.


There is a list of hardware vendors at FreeBSD.org
(http://www.freebsd.org/commercial/hardware.html).  Ask some them
about they can offer based on your needs.

I also did a minimum disk space study using FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE back in January:
* 1st column of numbers are from the VM disk image file, outside
FreeBSD. This is significant because it records the total disk space
FreeBSD needed *during* install.
* 2nd column is from inside FreeBSD with du -m after install.
* All numbers reported in megabytes.

Distribution Sets:
Developer   918 741
X-Developer 1080882
Kern-Developer  526 427
X-Kern-Developer690 568
User393 319
X-User  560 461
Minimal 183 156

Extrapolated Results:
Ports System283 270
GNOME-Lite  688 655
KDE-Lite879 864
X.Org Default Install   164 143
X.Org Full Install  177 158
Linux Binary Compat.255 127
Sys Sources + Proflibs  392 315
Kern Sources + Proflibs 133 109

Miscellaneous Sets:
X-User (All X.Org)  572 476
