Hi there,
Is it possible to make configuration changes in Makefile to install a port

I want to accomplish two tasks
1. I want to configure mysql port before installation with following
parameters: Could someone tell me that where in the Makefile, I need to put
these paramenters in order to get my required results? Makefile is at the
end of my message.
Required Configuration paramenters:
--prefix=/usr/local/mysql

--with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static
2. I want to install mysql at my given path, so I could be able to assign
the path to mysql user and chroot it PLEASE HELP!!!
Becuase, with default Makefile configuration, mysql installs all scripts
under /usr/local/sbin folder which other deamons also access for example
apache. so, if I alow the access only for mysql ... then other deamons will
not have any access...

Re: SiS SATA controllers that work with FreeBSD

memory limit in cron
Hi!! I have some problems with running perl script from cron. My script works with huge log files and it's size grows up to 300-1500Mb. It's necessity and can't be done in other ways than collecting data into hashes. When memory usage reaches 256Mb, error happens: Out of memory during request for 4084 bytes, total sbrk() is 264271872 bytes! Callback called exit, LOG line 5635900. END failed--call queue aborted, LOG line 5635900. Same script with same data works fine when running from console, and it's size grows up to 290Mb. Also, very same script successfully works in cron on another server, it processes 4Gb files. IMHO, one thing that can be reason, is the version of FreeBSD. Script fails on FreeBSD 6.x and works fine on FreeBSD 4.x How can I make it work on FreeBSD 6.2?

It is possible. But it is better to avoid as it gets overwritten when you cvsup
or portsnap.
I want to accomplish two tasks
1. I want to configure mysql port before installation with following
parameters: Could someone tell me that where in the Makefile, I need to put

For each of these options there are usually knobs to set at the command line.
You can easily find out these knobs from the MakeFile.
If there are no knobs for a particular option then AFAIK you have to change the
Makefile. CONFIGURE_ARGS is the variable that holds all arguments that will be
passed. You can add to it as you requre.
Required Configuration paramenters:
--prefix=/usr/local/mysql
--with-mysqld-user=mysql
--with-unix-socket-path=/tmp/mysql.sock
These three donot have any knobs AFAIK. So you have to change your Makefile.
--with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static
This one has a knob named BUILD_STATIC. So you could do make -DBUILD_STATIC
install to add this configuration alone.
snip
CONFIGURE_ARGS= --localstatedir=${DB_DIR} \
--without-debug \
--without-readline \
--without-libedit \
--without-bench \
--without-extra-tools \
--with-libwrap \
--with-mysqlfs \
--with-vio \
--with-low-memory \
--with-comment='FreeBSD port: ${PKGNAME}' \
--enable-thread-safe-client
This is the CONFIGURE_ARGS variable. Modify it as you like. Donot forget the
'\'at the end of each non terminating line.
snip
.if defined(BUILD_STATIC)
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static
.endif
This is what I meant by a knob. If you pass -DBUILD_STATIC to make, this 'if'
returns true and the extra option to CONFIGURE_ARGS is concatenated. You could
also define BUILD_STATIC in your shell from which you run make. It has the same
effect.
When you change your Makefile, make sure to rename it to so that it survives a
cvsup.

Re: The Opera browser on FreeBSD
Hi Henry, others, As of the latest weekly development release of Opera (see http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/), it's now possible to use any Linux plugin in the native Opera for FreeBSD version, including Flash and Acrobat Reader. The feature will be included in the upcoming Opera 9.1. For now, it'll require some actions to get it to work, but if you'd like to experiment with this, this might help: 0) Make sure you have the x11/linux-xorg-libs port installed. 1) Download and extract the latest weekly release for both FreeBSD and Linux: http://snapshot.opera.com/unix/Weekly-507/intel-freebsd/opera-9.10-20061205.4-shared-qt.i386.freebsd-en-507.tar.bz2 http://snapshot.opera.com/unix/Weekly-507/intel-linux/opera-9.10-20061205.1-static-qt.i386-en-507.tar.bz2 (FreeBSD package is for FreeBSD 6.x and requires Qt installed) 2) Copy operapluginwrapper from the Linux package over to the FreeBSD package: $ cd opera-9.10-20061205.4-shared-qt.i386.freebsd-en-507 $ cp ../opera-9.10-20061205.1-static-qt.i386-en-507/plugins/operapluginwrapper plugins/ Now, if you want to run the Opera weekly directly from the package without installing (will use a fresh, empty profile, recommended): 3) Copy libnpp.so within the FreeBSD package to a new location: $ cp plugins/libnpp.so bin/libnpp.so 4) Run Opera $ ./opera If instead you want to install Opera for all users (will overwrite existing installations and use your default profile, not recommended with development releases like this): 3) Run install $ ./install.sh 4) Copy libnpp.so manually to the Opera binary directory $ cp plugins/libnpp.so /usr/local/share/opera/bin/ 5) Run Opera $ /usr/local/bin/opera The actions described here do not affect Java; you'll still be able to run Java applets with the native version of Java (such as diablo-jdk or diablo-jre). We appreciate any reports on whether this feature works as expected (or doesn't at all). On Tue, 21 Nov 2006 15:31:30 +0100, Henry Lenzi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for you support. I have posted on the forum, on ocasion.

You can post on the forum if you have more problems with this. It could be that you're using a package that's compiled for a different version of FreeBSD; use the .4 package if you're on FreeBSD 6. 2) the Flash plugin. Is there a way to use the Linux emulation layer in order to get the plug-in working? See above :) 3) Cyrillic fonts look small, and you can't make them bigger.

If I understand you, you are trying to install enough of FreeBSD on a disk that you will then move to another machine to finish the install??? First of all, why don't you just do the complete install on the disk rather than just a part of it. Second, did you write the MBR to the disk? I would suggest this: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da1 bs=512 count=32 fdisk -BI da1 That first dd just makes sure no previous junk on the disk gets in the way. The fdisk command writes two main things: The primary slice table and the MBR. But, it does not put the boot sector there. That is done with bsdlabel. bsdlabel -w -B da1s1 will do it Then, you have to divide that slice you made in the fdisk command into at least one partition - probably several. FreeBSD doesn't boot to the slice, but rather needs a real partition that has been made in to a file system and had needed files written on it. For that you again use bsdlabel. The easiest is to use it in edit mode: bsdlabel -e da0s1 That puts you in an edit session to edit the partition table for the slice. Edit it as you prefer. I posted a long response yesterday that gives a good example. Then, you should install all of what goes in root and preferably also what goes in /usr before trying to boot. You can do all this through sysinstall and if you really must only partially install, then just get really selective on what you tell it to install rather than just take the general/normal installation. But, as I said above, just do the whole install at this time. The only thing you might come out funny on are the device names it puts in /etc/fstab.In might name them da1 or ad1 instead of the da0 or ad0 you need when you move the disk over to the other machine. So, mount up the newroot (on the new disk) and check out the /newroot/etc/fstab file and edit if necessary before moving the disk over. jerry Thanks, Steve -- Steve Franks, KE7BTE Staff Engineer La Palma Devices, LLC http://www.lapalmadevices.com (520) 312-0089 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Disk I/O DEAD slow after upgrade from 5.5 - 6.1
Hi All, We recently upgraded a mail server from FreeBSD 5.5 to 6.1 and also moved the /home partition from a shared RAID 1 Volume with the system disk to a 3 x 300GB RAID 5 volume. Upon users returning the complaints starting to roll in about IMAP (squirrelmail / MUA's) access being incredibly slow and mail clients timing out.. all the daemons have been rebuilt. Another colleague of mine posted and received feedback saying that you will take a performance hit moving from a RAID 1 to RAID 5 volume which is understood. Thinking it was maybe an issue with 6.1 we moved to 6.2 RC1 to see if that would help and it has not.. so last night we moved all the mail back to a single 146GB disk to see if it was the RAID 5 volume and the problems persisted, same behavior HIGH iops for barely any server activity resulting is sluggish. Could this be related to FreeBSD 6 and the RAID card? below is dmesg plus some other info. The Server is a HP DL380G4 Dual Xeon, 2GB mem, RAID 1 Volume (system Disk) RAID 5 Volume (homedir mail delivery) Thanks in advance!

Any advantages xinetd has over inetd anymore?

Re: Any way to tell what the RAM configuration is?
Sure. Install the dmidecode port (from /usr/ports/sysutils/ dmidecode), and run: dmidecode -t memory Of course, this relies on the BIOS reporting the memory properly. In my case, on an Asus P5B motherboard, it reports the RAM at 533 MHz (DDR2-533), even though it's set in the BIOS to run at DDR2-800. So, your mileage may vary, but as long as the BIOS is reporting it accurately, dmidecode is the way to go.

See the freebsd-x11 mailing list archives for more details, but basically the team doing the porting is just waiting for the actual release of 7.2 before they merge the new versions into the ports tree. I'm sure there will still be some testing and other tasks to be completed after that, but hopefully most things should be working. Actually it's much more complicated than that since xorg 7.x is fundamentally different than older versions. It's taking a *lot* of effort to get it beaten into the shape of the ports collection, but hopefully it will be ready and integrated some time around the end of the year.

If you can get the machine to mount the USB drive or have it's network
connection online, you can simply backup the contents of
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users
C:\Documents and Settings\${username} (replace ${username} with the
various usernames configured on the crippled box).
Once you backup the content of those two directories, you should have
all of your user's data. Therefore you should be ok to wipe the disk
and perform a clean Windows install.
I suggest, however, that you upload those backup onto another Windows
machine and have your user double-check to see if you have everything.
Better be safe than sorry.

Multihomed router with NAT
Hello, I'm working on a router that acts as a captive portal and transparent http proxy for unregistered or disabled hosts that plug in to our network. The router has a public administrative interface on em0, 192.168.100.10/24. The router has a physically seperate interface, 192.168.200.10/24 on vlan200 using em1, for the NAT clients. The router also has the interface vlan100 on em1 with the address 10.100.0.1/16. The captured machines are assigned addresses on the 10.100/16 subnet. The router's firewall allows certain http traffic through the NAT, such as windows updates. All other http requests are forwarded through an instance of squid to an apache instance. The system's default route is configured on the administrative interface, via 192.168.100.1. My firewall includes the rule: $cmd 0013 divert natd ip from not me to any via vlan200 The NAT does not work. From a captured machine, I am able to ping both 192.168.200.10 and the gateway 192.168.200.1, but nothing off-subnet. We suspect the packets leaving the NAT, tagged with source-address 192.168.200.10 are being routed via the system's default route at 192.168.100.1. The router is dropping these packets on the floor, because the source address doesn't match the subnet it's routing. Is it possible to tell the system to use a different default route based on the source address of the packet? We want to keep the administrative interface on a separate subnet from the client traffic. I tried using an ipfw fwd rule: $cmd 0014 fwd 192.168.200.1 ip from 192.168.200.10 to not \ 192.168.200.10/24 But this had no effect. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

mount/umount UFS2 on DVD+RW
Hi folks! I have a small problem that bugged me the last days: I made a UFS2 filesystem on a DVD+RW (which can act like a RAM-disk). After some troubles it worked. I used the following commands to achieve this: # dvd+rw-format /dev/cd0 # bsdlabel -w acd0 # newfs -n /dev/acd0 # mount -o noatime /dev/acd0 /mnt/ufs I gathered that atapicam can get nasty with UFS2 on DVDs, so that is why I resorted to use /dev/acd0. The symptoms where the same, but it proved handy with regards to /etc/fstab and fsck. Problem one: between each step I have to reload the DVD (eject and close the drive). Otherwise it gives IO errors. 'camcontrol eject cd0' refuses (Error received from stop unit command), 'cdcontrol eject' does nothing (no errors). It has to be done by hand. Second problem: when I unmount the disk and mount it again later, it refuses to do so since the filesystem isn't marked clean. So to mount it I have to go through: # fsck /dev/acd0 #mount -o noatime /dev/acd0 /mnt/ufs Again, I need to reload it between these steps. The reloading bugs me a bit, but that might be the devices firmware, or maybe atapicam having a hold on the drive (it keeps in spinning state for a few minutes after activity, while it relatively spins down soon after mount). What really bugs me is that the umount seems not to mark it as clean. Why is that? I noted that the lights on the drive don't come on when umount is busy, allthough the drive does spin up. What I also would like to ask, is there a way to further minimize the amounts of writes on the disk? I gathered that turning on softupdates can trigger panics, which might also have something to do with atapicam. Any other techniques? Short summary of oddities / questions: 1. Drive-reloading between actions: device not freed? 2. FS not marked clean on umount. 3. How to reduce writes? Thanks in advance. I'm not subscribed, so please CC me. -- Frans-Jan v.

Re: The Opera browser on FreeBSD
In fact, Flash 9 was announced in June. (See: http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/200606/062806Flash9.html;) I've looked at that. The Linux version was only released (in Beta) last month, and also, it doesn't currently work with the linuxplugin wrapper code. Further more, since the FreeBSD-linux base was upgraded from rh9 to fc, my system core dumps on EVERY linux binary I try to run, so I've not even been able to test the flash9 beta in a linux binary-browser!

Cheers, Jamie What FC core are they using as the Linux base now? Just curious.. Quite a few changes were made to the kernel and base system in the FC series IIRC. Might be better to stick with a Gentoo or Debian linux base, if possible because the FC series is always changing up stuff in each release. Also, RH9 - FC[1-5] is a move from a 2.4 kernel to a 2.6 kernel, so that may have something to play with your Linux base issues. -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

urxvt arrow keys do not work in ncurse?
Hello. I am running urxvt and I have this problem: I. run sysinstall; II. press down arrow key on my keyboard; III. sysinstall quits; urxvt send escape sequence to applications run inside it, is it true that some application like sysinstall in freebsd are configured to ignore escape sequence? sysinstall probably think it received an ESC and decide to quit, for normal ncurse application they usually quit after received ESC for one second but no other keystroke are following. Can I configure FreeBSD to act this way too? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
