Re: startup scripts not working
O/H Howard Goldstein έγραψε: None of the scripts work, they show the same behavior, and i ran them as root. I don't have any of those installed but most of the local rc.d scripts need an enable flag in /etc/rc.conf . Take a look at your rc.d scripts and see if they need them to. You can also run these with -x to see what's happening (eg., sh -x /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache22 start) Since the original question has been answered I'll just add a little more detail. Whenever you install some software that has a run script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d, there is an easy way to figure out which parameters need to be enabled in /etc/rc.conf. Just run the script with the rcvar parameter. (eg /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache22 rcvar) The same applies for system services (sshd, inetd) that have their start scripts in /etc/rc.d -- RTFM and STFW before anything bad happens _ Thanos Rizoulis Electronic Computing Systems Engineer Larissa, Greece FreeBSD/PCBSD user ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: SMP only detects one CPU - help?

Also I've only been using FreeBSD for a couple of years, so I'm still very new to the system. Maybe you should use FreeBSD more often :) I have recently become the proud owner of a second-hand HP NetServer e800, which has two Pentium-III class [686] CPUs in it. I've installed 6.2-RELEASE-p3 [which is also referred to as 6.2-STABLE, is that correct?] and built myself a SMP kernel. I'm sure it's a SMP kernel, because the config file has options SMP in it and while running it sysctl kern.smp.maxcpus returns 16. The BIOS says there are two CPUs, so I guess the second CPU is in fine condition and ready to go. As of FreeBSD 6.2 RELEASE, SMP systems are correctly detected and the SMP kernel is used, no need to rebuild kernel. I have such an old hardware arround (Dual [EMAIL PROTECTED]) and 6.2 RELEASE loaded the SMP kernel as expected. Same thing on shiny new Core2Duo machines.

Re: fetchmail checksum mismatch error
O/H Zbigniew Szalbot έγραψε: Dear all, I tried updating fetchmail today from 6.3.6 to 6.3.8. I used portupgrade to do it. However, I got an error message about checksum mismatch. I suspect it may have something to do with me stopping the upgrade process because while downloading the files, the connection froze and there was no progress for about 15 minutes or so. So I pressect CTRL-C on the command line and tried again. Since then I have been getting checksum mismatch warnings and I am not able to upgrade. What should I do now? Your advice is very much appreciated! Thank you! Make absolutely sure that there are no fetchmail instances delivering mail to your mail queue. Check your mail logs for this. When the traffic is stopped (daemon goes to sleep or all deliveries are done), make sure that fetchmail daemon is stopped (/usr/local/bin/fetchmail -q) or if it is run from cron, temporarily remove the entry. As a general rule of thumb, if a port download breaks at some point you should start over, but first you should clean up the mess. A make distclean and make clean inside the fetchmail port directory (/usr/ports/mail/fetchmail) will delete the half-downloaded file and clean up the work directory.

Other web-based panels although nice and handy, they just add another layer of complexity and bugs. My main experience is with webmin. I remember a couple of months ago when I installed squid and webmin to create a proxy product. I tried to implement bandwidth management through webmin and failed for no apparent reason. Not to mention clicking various buttons for more than ten times, to change the appropriate values. After too much effort, I manually edited squid.conf and realized that all the bandwidth management was done in a single three-digit line of text, which webmin kept screwing arround. So why bother with the extra bloat? Furthermore, try to setup a mail server using a web panel. When the server breaks you will have two things to consider: a) if the mail package caused the problem b) if the web-panel caused the problem I have seen webmin adding crontab entries by wrapping all of them into a perl script and cronning this particular script. Imagine the frustration when for some reason perl gets hosed. Suddenly your crontab is not working, how could you possibly imagine that the above perl-wrapping exists so that you can correct it? Webmin is nice, I have installed it several times back in my learning days and it has helped me get a jumpstart in testing.

Re: A VERY Strange Question.
O/H Grant Peel ΞΞ³Ο�Ξ±Ο�Ξ΅: Hello, I do use Webmin/Usermin for User front ends and Admin back ends, but I doubt these will come into play with MS. I prefer sticking my hands in the console rather than trusting a third party GUI to do the job for me. I've seen some horrors with webmin so I just avoid it. Yes, in windows you have a generic application (microsoft console) that handles various pluggable configuration GUIs. You can have multiple views of such GUIs but despite my experience I rarely find them intuitive. Question 1: Dell offers many of thier server with MS Server 2003 pre loaded. On our BSD servers, we offer: Web Serving (Apache) Email SMTP and POP (Exim and vm-pop3d) MySQL PHP PERL Modified Usermin (for the domain owners to manage thier pieces of the server). and all the necessary supporting libraries. Windows 2003 Server Small Business, offers IIS for web serving Exchange server for email and collaboration MSSQL Installing PHP will not be a problem Installing Perl will not be a problem Terminal Services (RDP) in administration mode allows two administrators to log in concurrently, using remote desktop connection. It is also cheaper than Windows 2003 Standard edition but has some drawbacks (which I hope are fixed by now). a) you have to promote it to domain controller or it will start rebooting automagically after some weeks http://www.experts-exchange.com/Operating_Systems/Windows_Server_2003/Q_21930609.html b) you are limited to 75 users accessing the Active Directory services (irrelevant) c) β��Exchange Server 2003 Computer Takes Longer Than You Expect to Shut Downβ�� http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829361 Question 2: If any of the MS equivalent software does not come with 'Server 2003', what ones are they, how do you get them? Answered above Question 3: I have never understood MS licensing scheme. How true What does this '5 CALs' by default mean? In order for hundreds of domains to be on the (MS) server, doe we need to get hendreds of CALs? AFAIK, [5 CAL] means five client access licenses and it refers to accessing shared resources (folders/printers/active directory services). You'll find that windows Xp home allows only five network computer to connect to its resources and windows xp pro allows ten. This has nothing to do with web serving because simply the clients connect and access information anonymously. Question 4: Does IIS come with the Front Page extentions still? or is everything Share Point now? Does one need to purchase them seperately? Can they coexist on the same machine? I do not know about the frontpage extentions. Sharepoint services is more like a collaboration website where a team of people can oganize their work ( documents of office XP and above, uses document revisions too). Office 2003 supports Sharepoint services directly, opening and saving files directly to the website. Office XP has reduced functionality compared to 2003. Question 5: Is the DNS setup (my servers - ns1 and ns2 are located locally), easy - seamless? Yes, the GUI is included. :) Although you will have to fiddle arround to find your way. Question 6: Does Server 2003 have the ability to configure the NIC with multiple IP aliases? (i.e. can each domain in the MS server have its own IP?). This is from memory, but all domains share the same IP unless they are SSL enabled which requires a separate Ip address. Question 7: Can IIS handle multiple domains (i.e. like Apache virtual hosting). Yes Question 8: Does IIS handle SSL? same certs and keys as Apache? It does handle SSL but I haven't been into the webhosting business so I don't know much. The only thing I would expect, is to have separate certificates for separate websites (the obvious, but like I said I never hosted websites). Question 9: Does it come with an FTP Daemon of some type? if no, can proftpd be used? Yes and it is known to work well despite its limited configuration. Proftpd is *NIX only as the developer website clearly states. I wouldn't trust a windows port of proftpd anyway :) Overall, Windows 2003 small business is cheap and you can test it for your self. Your company, in its course of evaluating services will afford it. However there are other not well known versions of windows 2003 servers, namely the Windows server 2003 Web Edition for web hosting. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/evaluation/overview/web.mspx See a comparison of windows servers here http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/evaluation/features/comparefeatures.mspx#Web%20and%20Application%20Services -- RTFM and STFW before anything bad happens - Thanasis Rizoulis Electronic Computing Systems Engineer Larissa, Greece Linux User #358384 FreeBSD/PCBSD user ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list

Re: hardware mirrors recognized as individual disks in fbsd

Now I praise FreeBSD for it's superior intellect here, but now I have a problem. I want two 160GB mirrored volumes, not 4 unmirrored ones. The RAID is an ASUS P5DR1-VM motherboard with a ULI raid chipset onboard. Very nice setup for the money. Is this normal? Am I going to break my mirror if I mount a single disk? If so, how do I mount a mirror? I have a Gigabyte motherboard GA-7N400Pro2 with an onboard IDE RAID controller IT8212F. Two IDE disks of 80GB connected on it. I have created a RADI-1 volume using the onboard RAID utility and partitioned the volume (50-50) while installing windows. In windows I could see two primary partitions. When I installed FreeBSD 6.1, sysinstall gave me the option of installing on three different disks. The ad0, ad1 and ar0. The last is the RAID-1 volume that FreeBSD recognises by default. I chose ar0 and proceeded to install into the second partition of the volume. All well so far. I chose to install Gnome 2.16 from Tinderbox which brought HAL along the way. When I booted the Gnome desktop, I saw a sum of six partitions, thanks to HAL not separating/hiding the drives that the RAID-1 volume consists of (a known issue). Maybe this is what you see? I also wonder, since I have never had a true PCI RAID controller together with FreeBSD, if every RAID volume behaves like this. I am familiar with the term soft-raid controller and clarifying, it means that it is half implemented as hardware, and half as software (something like win-modems). That's why FreeBSD sees the detailed interior of the array - the driver can control the whole RAID process, add/remove member disks and so on. I could be wrong about this, gotta get some hardware to test.

Re: Why is sysinstall considered end-of-life?
The only real drawback I see in sysinstall is that at several stages you cannot perceive what the previous part was and what the next step is. There are times that you have to exit in order to continue. Maybe an overall progress bar in plain text (eg Welcome - Select disk - Select partitions - Boot loader), highlighting the appropriate field according to where you are, will sched some light to the naive. Other than that, I fully support text mode, it's the only guaranteed way to install a system and FreeBSD has done its job quite nicely there. As for DesktopBSD and PCBSD, I can tell you at least for the PCBSD part that it has been VERY difficult to create the installer specifically the disk detection and the partitioning scheme. At some times, I just wish people stop creating new things and just find ways to beutify what is already there and working solid for years.

Re: Cups USB workaround was working but now fails
O/H Ian Moore έγραψε: It seems that cups now won't recognise the file: setting, yet previously it did. I checked back through my logs to see if a newer cups port had come out I'd inadvertently upgraded to it, but it seems that's not the case - it's still 1.2.0 Using the usb: URI always gives the same result - the job starts printing but stops after about 12% and won't go any further. Any ideas as to why my cups no longer accepts the file: URI? I'm running FreeBSD 5.11-Release-p2 and my printer is an Epson Stylus C61 on a USB port. Cheers, I just checked http://www.cups.org/articles.php?L397 and CUPS is at 1.2.2 already. I also remember a major problem with 1.2.0. See these threads : http://forums.pcbsd.org/viewtopic.php?t=4173highlight=cups http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/showthread.php?t=42391 I remember that the severity of the bug was so great that the 1.2.1 update was in the ports in a week or so. I'm not in front of a BSD machine to be sure, but have you upgraded your ports lately? Cups 1.2.1 should at least be there. Also, I don't think you are running FreeBSD 5.11-Release-p2 yet! :) -- RTFM and STFW before anything bad happens - Thanasis Rizoulis Electronic Computing Systems Engineer Larissa, Greece Linux User #358384 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
