8.1 to 8.2 upgrade, apache SSL Certificates problem
Hi, I did an upgrade from FreeBSD 8.1 to 8.2 today. All OK so far, except for Apache (apache-2.2.17_1) It wouldn't start. /var/log/httpd-error.log [Wed Mar 23 13:04:26 2011] [error] Server should be SSL-aware but has no certificate configured [Hint: SSLCertificateFile] ((null):0) I dit not change anything tot my apache config in the last weeks (and have restarted apache, via apachectl graceful several times). My certificates are still there and did not change. Accessing some of my https enabled virtual hosts worked before the upgrade. # apachectl configtest Suntax OK If I start apache without SSL (commenting out the Include etc/apache22/extra/httpd-ssl.conf line in /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf), then apache starts.

Could you please assist me. I have a freebsd box the previous person who handled it left the company. Now we increased the bandwidth with tenet now how do I increase it on my freebsd box?

FreeBSD-based hosting
Hi, all, I happened to come across this Netcraft survey of the Most Reliable Hosting Company Sites in February 2011 (the most recent month for which statistics are available): http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2011/03/01/most-reliable-hosting-company-sites-in-february-2011.html I was surprised that the top three most reliable sites for last month were all running FreeBSD :O I'm currently using a Linux-based hosting provider but am interested in migrating to a FreeBSD-based provider for two reasons: (1) I develop on a system running FreeBSD, so it would make things simpler for me if the servers whereon my site ran did also, and (2) I'd like to migrate to using FreeBSD counterparts in lieu of Linux standbys (e. g., pf instead of iptables, etc.) Can anyone recommend the best FreeBSD-based hosting provider that they've used recently and/or are currently using, in terms of: (a) providing dedicated servers, or, at the very least, true VPSes (i. e., one you can hard-reboot at whim, not a FreeBSD jail), obviously with full root access; (b) connection latency (how long it takes to connect via ssh/sftp) and speed/lag; (c) observed disk/file I/O performance (both latency and throughput, particularly important in the case of VPSes -- my current Linux VPS-based service started out great, but now file I/O performance has slowed to a crawl as they've added VPSes without proportionately increasing hardware resources); (d) cost-effectiveness (i. e., how much you get for somewhere on the order of $100 a month -- I'm interested in setting up a small, experimental WWW site, and then hope to scale up from there); (e) preferably a hosting provider that delivers a dedicated or virtual server with a fresh, clean install of the most recent release of FreeBSD (8.2-RELEASE as of the time of this writing) right off the bat; and (f) in case of ties, the extent to which they've given back to the FreeBSD community, either through contributed code or hardware, hosting, and/or financial support? My first instinct was simply to choose a hosting provider based on the Netcraft survey above, but since I can't assess the other criteria based on the Netcraft survey alone I figured I'd be best off going with what y'all recommend based on your personal and technical experience with all factors taken into consideration, not just pure reliability according to a single metric. (Note: I know this subject resurfaces from time to time in the FreeBSD mailing lists and fora, but I'd like to ask anew as the quality of hosting companies' services varies so quickly as they jostle for market position.) Thanks in advance, everyone, and my apologies for asking a commercial-type question, rather than a purely technical one. (And please, no ads or self-promotion in reply; let's just all agree upfront to boycott any poster that violates this basic rule of common courtesy :) All the best, Austin P. S. If you recommend hosting providers based outside of the U. S. or Russian Federation I'd appreciate it if you could restrict yourself to those who have a solid track record of handling secure transactions in USD and whose sites and documentation are available in English or Russian.

Re: Automating mounting of ISO images
We're close on this (thanks for the push). It wants to load the entire path up in ${DEST} which is not ideal but I can live with that. I am also trying to make the directories right before the attempt to mount the image (a 'duh' moment just now). So I'd like to have just the filename, not the full path, made as a folder... In other news: The ISOs are all made by me, so no special chars, just capital and lowercase letters, sometimes numbers, no spaces and use of underscores and hyphens. thanks!

Re: Kodak C195 digital camera appears to affect WD on usb

When I first connected it, it would automatically create da1-da3. Now it doesn't. It used to get detected with gphoto2 --auto-detect as a Generic PTP camera. I don't know if I changed a camera setting to cause any new behaviour, but I looked at them.

Bridge, dpcpd, sshd
Hi all, I have a server machine that I use as DHCP server, sshd login etc, and since I have multiple Ethernet interfaces on it, I would like to use two of those for the internal network to avoid adding one more ethernet switch for just one extra machine. DHCP should configure hosts on both those interfaces and all the hosts should be on the same subnet. So, I set up a bridge interface as per the FreeBSD handbook (ch. 31.5), but now dhcpd is refusing to start during boot as it claim that the bridge0 interface doesn't exist. If I manually start dhcpd with the same parameters after the machine has come up, it will start and it will also work as expected and assign addresses to users connecting from teh bridge interface. sshd seems to do something similar, it refuses to start, but can manually be re-started later on. Is this some kinf of expected behavior, or does it sound like I'm doing something badly wrong? Can I force bride0 to be configured earlier in the boot so it is always there when the daemons start waking up? Configuration info below.

The line ipv4_addrs_bridge0 is important and from what I recall it needs to come after the interfaces are brought up, just like in the above rc.conf. Of course there is also some dhcpd config that is not present here. If you still can't get it to work, try disabling dhcpd to have a static IP network, try getting that to work first.

These statements just assign values to variables, and have no bearing at all on the order in which the rc.d system will actually use them; that depends on rcorder(8). Nerius has indicated use of e.g: ipv4_addrs_bridge0=192.168.0.254/24 to assign address(es) to the bridge, avoiding your problem above. ifconfig_dc0=up ifconfig_dc1=up = sshd.conf extract = ListenAddress 172.16.0.100 === the dhcpd.conf is quite standard and does not say anything about the interfaces, that info is in rc.conf above === /var/log/messages extract dhcpd: bridge0: not found Yes; at that time your bridge hadn't been created, ie it had no members. cheers, Ian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
