 If bugs is the correct list then that's where we'll send it. However we
 were not initially thinking it was a bug. We were thinking it was a
 configuration error on our part. We certainly weren't expecting kernel
 patches, just advice on where next to proceed. Thanks for the send-pr
 suggestion. We have verbose dmesg logs for all of our testing, I didn't
 want to send them initially because they are large and we have 12 of them.

If you have 4 CPU's and FreeBSD is only seeing 2 of them then I'd say it's
a bug!

You can always post a link to where the logs are.

 Good gravy. They're not asking -questions for a fix, they're asking
 for guidance on how to isolate the root cause of the problem. Quoth
 the OP: *what are we missing?*

 That is perfectly germane for -questions and only /after/ that
 question is answered

Then, post some steps and quit metadiscussing.

 would it be appropriate to use send-pr. Using
 send-pr to submit a poorly defined problem (too much load) is not
 going to result in a project committer magically finding and fixing
 an unknown OS bug.

The original post was not poorly defined.  Certainly not compared to
the average PR.  The only things missing were BIOS and board revisions
and the diagnostic log.

 That's a reasonable assumption actually. Sorry I don't have any
 specific suggestions for you except to second the motion that you
 ignore Ted's assertion that you should give up on -questions. It's
 entirely possible that there's a tunable knob or app compilation
 option that will help you out.

If you would care to suggest something I'm sure the OP would be
all ears.  So far you have only posted sheer speculation.

 bugs isn't correct either, that's only for automated mailing of
 problem reports.  I'd recommend either freebsd-stable or
 freebsd-performance, those are technical lists read by developers.

Please sort out your formatting. It looks horrible.

funny how nobody else that quoted it seemed to have a problem.

I've snipped your assumption that this is a hardware problem
 because it is misleading at this stage. It could well be a configuraiton
issue.

I'll quote then from the OP's post:

...This is a supermicro superserver 6022c dual 2.0 Xeon with 2GB RAM.
 These CPUs do support hyperthreading
...If we disable hyperthreading in the bios and have it disabled in the OS
then FreeBSD sees one physical and one logical processor (from dmesg)
and only uses processor 0

Disabling or enabling hyperthreading on a dual-Xeon BIOS has nothing to
do with the number of physical CPU's FreeBSD sees.  If there are 2 physical
CPU's on the motherboard and both CPU's are enabled (regardless of
whether hyperthreading is turned on or off in BIOS) then FreeBSD should
be seeing 2 physical CPUs.  The fact that it is not is a kernel bug that is
very related to hardware.

I don't know where your getting the impression that I said this was a
hardware
bug.  Clearly it is not a hardware bug if -other- operating systems are
seeing and
using both CPUs.  The hardware is operating as it was designed to do.  The
problem is that FreeBSD has a defect in that it cannot properly detect and
setup
for this hardware.  If you object to the use of the word defect then
substitute
lack of code instead.

I never siad that the OP's SuperMicro motherboard adhered to any industry
standard for SMP systems.  I myself have had mixed luck with SuperMicro
motherboards back in the early days of FreeBSD SMP, both uniprocessor
and SMP boards.

Unfortunately, these problems are usually only fixed by getting a sample of
the motherbord in the hands of a developer.  I assume this particular board
is
no longer in production, so most likely the OP won't ultimately be able to
get it fixed unless he parts with one of his machines - although a number of
folks
with hardware/software problems like this have been able to get developers
to fix them by putting their hardware online and giving the developer remote
access.

When you say you have downloaded the JRE for freebsd, I assume you mean
appropriate version from
http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/downloads/java.shtml

If you have downloaded the package from there then just run
pkg_add $nameofdownloadedfile
For 6.x i386 that would be

Umm, quoted from you above: Defects that are specific to hardware that are

How to display .png?

2007-02-16 Thread Roger Olofsson


Dear Mailing List,

As usual, thanks alot for all answers to my previous questions! I will 
try and step up and answer the ones I can.


I'm still fiddling around with a machine that's upgraded to 6.2 and have 
encountered a small thing. Apache refuses to display .png pictures. This 
is probably some setting somewhere and I have looked in the following:


httpd.conf of course
php.ini

I have reinstalled and checked options for php5, I have checked options 
and reinstalled gd and I have compared httpd.conf and php.ini with a 
FreeBSD 5.5, I have run phpinfo on both machines and compared the 
results, they look very much alike. The 5.5 displays .pngs fine though.


I have also checked file permissions for the pictures, they all look 
fine. The output of httpd-error.log has no pointers.


What could be the magic trick? Probably something really simple?

apache, gd and mod_perl2 problem

2007-02-16 Thread Thomas Vogt

Hello

I've a strange problem with apache2.0, gd2 and mod_perl2.
I wrote a small test script which creates a png file in my /tmp
directory.

This perl script works fine if I run it localy on a shell, it works also
as normal cgi script but it doesn't work with apache2 and mod_perl2. It
crashes with: print HF $im-png; (see the whole script below)

httpd-error.log message (debug enabled)
[Tue Feb 13 09:41:34 2007] [notice] child pid 24480 exit signal Abort
trap (6)
t/www in free(): error: pointer to wrong page

The script I'm talking about:
cat buttontest.html

#!/usr/bin/perl
use GD;

# create a new image
$im = new GD::Image(100, 100);

# allocate some colors
$white = $im-colorAllocate(255,255,255);
$black = $im-colorAllocate(0,0,0);
$red = $im-colorAllocate(255,0,0);
$blue = $im-colorAllocate(0,0,255);

# make the background transparent and interlaced
$im-transparent($white);
$im-interlaced('true');
# Put a black frame around the picture
$im-rectangle(0,0,99,99,$black);

# Draw a blue oval
$im-arc(50,50,95,75,0,360,$blue);

# And fill it with red
$im-fill(50,50,$red);

print Content-type: text/html\n\n; 
print h1Hello world/h1;  

# make sure we are writing to a binary stream
open HF, /tmp/file.png;
binmode HF;

# Convert the image to PNG and print it on standard output
# here it crashes with apache
print HF $im-png; 
close HF;
print pFoobar;


my httpd.conf:
LoadModule perl_module libexec/apache2/mod_perl.so

PerlModule Apache2::Reload
Location /perl
   # -- mod_perl stuff
  SetHandler perl-script
  PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::RegistryPrefork 
  PerlInitHandler Apache2::Reload
  Options +ExecCGI
  AddHandler cgi-script html png
  PerlOptions +ParseHeaders
  PerlSetVar StatINCDebug On
/Location

My System:
6.2-RELEASE-p1  (i386)

Packets I use:
apache-2.0.59
png-1.2.12_1
perl-5.8.8
p5-GD-2.35
mod_perl2-2.0.3_
gd-2.0.33_4,11,3
freetype2-2.2.1_1

I compiled everything with -DWITHOUT_X11 knob but I also tested it with
X support too. It doesn't work either. I also tried mod_perl2-2.0.2 to
make sure it's not a new 2.0.3 bug.

The same script works fine on an Ubuntu Linux Server with apache2.0.x,
mod_perl2 and gd.

Any idea?

Regards,
Thomas

Apache doesn't display images, it just serves them. That is to say
they are downloaded to the browser like any other file is, and the
browser displays them.
So, what configuration are you using? From what you've given so far
you obviously have to different machines.
What about the ./htdocs tree, is it the same on both machines, e.g.
did you copy it from the 5.5 machine to the new one? Where is the
browser running? Is it running locally on the 6.2 machine, or do you
have a third machine from which you access both servers?
How do you access the png-Images? Are they embedded in a web page,
e.g.  by a img src= alt= / tag, or do you follow a link?

How does it look like in your web browser? Is the image missing
entirely, or do you have a broken image icon where you expect the
image to be? If there is such an icon, what are its properties? (If
you're using firefox you can right click on the image icon and select
properties.)
If there is no icon, does anything strange happen, e.g. does your
browser display weird lines of text, or does it open a save as-dialog?

What I think is possible is that there is a difference in the
mime-type definition of both servers. If a file is requested from a
web server the server sends a header that hopefully contains the right
mime type. Depending on the mime-type the browser decides what it can
do with it. So if there is no definition for png on your server, it
might either be sent as a text- or binary file, resulting in strange
behaviour in your web browser.

Advice needed - how did I get into this mess?

2007-02-16 Thread Roy Plant

The last time I dabbled with Unix was 20 years ago - so I'm old and more than
a little rusty. A while ago I decided FreeBSD 5.4 + Apache2 + PHP 5 +
PostgreSQL + MySQL was a decent way to set up a development server. So I put
all this on a dual Xeon platform - spent ages configuring and getting things
working together but eventually succeeded.
I then purchased Zend Studio and loaded that on a Windoze XP workstation and
loaded Zend Platform on the server so I could achieve remote de-bugging of
the PHP web pages.

All was well in the world until the hard disk on the server decided to
retire. So two weeks ago I replaced the HDD and decided it was time to upate
everything to the latest versions - FreeBSD 6.2, PHP 5.2.1, Apache 2.2
-isn't it suprising how quickly one forgets the configuration changes made
in order to get it all talking? So after two weeks everything is up and
running - last thing to load is the PHP development side - i.e. Zend
Platform.

I see from their web site that Platform V3 is released, but not for FreeBSD
- so I downloaded V2.2.3 and tried to install.
After lots of frustration I then discovered that this version of Platform
does not support PHP 5.2.1 (Aaaaggghhh)

I guess the easiest solution is to downgrade the PHP install to 5.1 - so
here's the questions

1) How do I downgrade to PHP 5.1?
2) How do I keep the rest of my ports up to date without updating PHP 5?

cheers

Roy
