This is just a warning message and doesn't stop apache working or 
not.  Enabling
accf_http should give you a bit of a performance boost under heavy 
load and help

you withstand certain types of DoS attack, but it's not required.

Tried refreshing ports (inital re-compile attempt failed with make 
complaining that postgres-client had been marked invalid - when will 
someone fixit?), and re-compiling apache22 = no change.


ps -auxc: no httpd.

FF3 under Gnome on the machine fetches external pages, of course 
(using router DNS).


What else should I look at?



Try restarting httpd from the command line: 
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache22 restart


This will run a configtest and then try and start up apache.  Then check
that apache is still running: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache22 status

If apache has mysteriously disappeared and there are no messages in 
log files,
then it means apache crashed during the startup process soon after 
daemonising.
That's pretty diagnostic for loading a dynamic module that disagrees 
with it.


At a guess, and given that you've reinstalled all your php modules, I 
think you
may be being hit by the php module load order problem.  In that case, 
running
php from the command line will probably also segv on you.  This is 
something that
has had quite a lot of attention on this list, but there isn't a 
really good solution
yet, other than manually reordering the entries in 
/usr/local/etc/php/extensions.ini


Also, if you're running eAccelerator, make sure you recompile it at 
the same time
you upgrade the main lang/php5 port: eAccelerator will cause Apache to 
crash if you
try and run it against a different version of PHP than it was 
originally compiled

for.

Cheers,

Matthew


Thank you . That gets me off to a good start.

I guess the solution for the maintainers is simple: a script which 
automates every combination of module load to test for error-prone 
sequences or combinations. These could then be tested for and a warning 
notice issued at config time, or after compilation, preferably. It would 
also provide a definitive answer to the question of whether the 
sequence/combination is a contributing factor in the first place, or 
whether some other factor is a pre-condition.

/etc/ttys

2009-05-07 Thread Ian Fitzgerald
Dumb question because of dumb action: can anyone point me to a place 
where I can find a copy of /etc/ttys? - suitable for FreeBSD v7.2



Thanks

Free Pascal

2009-03-05 Thread Ian Fitzgerald

Can anyone point me to a method of installing Free Pascal Compiler?

I am running FBSD 7.1, with KDE4.

The last attempt deleted a file used by X-windows (and perhaps others), 
but I had no specific instructions as a guide.
