cannot get apache to start
Hi All, i upgraded my ports tree this weekend and started a rebuild of apache13+modssl and php4 (with extensions) Now i can't get the *(#!($ thing to work anymore, i keep getting coredumps I thought it could simply be a problem because i used modssl so i switched to apache13 without modssl. I also tried to use php5 instead of 4 but it all does net help. I attached the httpd.conf These are the installed packages : apache-1.3.33_1 The extremely popular Apache http server.

Re: problem with DNS resolving
you could also try running tcpump(1) while trying to resolve names. try sniffing on all interfaces, so you can tell where your name service queries are going to. ok i found the trouble, i made a stupid error when configuring the firewall, i forgot to add the servers to which the DNS is forwarding.

problem with DNS resolving
Hi all, I got a FreeBSD 4.7-p5 server running on a remote location which has problems with DNS resolvings. It's running a bind8 service which is working fine on the outside. but won't resolve when configured in /etc/resolv.conf here is my /etc/host.conf # $FreeBSD: src/etc/host.conf,v 1.6 1999/08/27 23:23:41 peter Exp $ # First try the /etc/hosts file hosts # Now try the nameserver next. bind # If you have YP/NIS configured, uncomment the next line # nis and my /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 127.0.0.1 nameserver 195.18.92.98 and the output from my firewall (only the relevant parts) : 00500 allow tcp from any to any established 00600 allow ip from any to any frag 01200 allow tcp from 195.18.92.98 to any setup 01300 allow tcp from 195.18.92.103 to any setup 01400 allow log tcp from any to 195.18.92.98 53 01500 allow log udp from any to 195.18.92.98 53 01600 allow log tcp from 195.18.92.98 53 to any 01700 allow log udp from 195.18.92.98 53 to any 01800 allow log tcp from any to 195.18.92.103 53 01900 allow log udp from any to 195.18.92.103 53 02000 allow log tcp from 195.18.92.103 53 to any 02100 allow log udp from 195.18.92.103 53 to any now it worked fine with this configuration until i added 195.18.92.103 as a virtual interface to the machine. I can't get it to work since then. I tried using the DNS servers from my ISP but that doesn't help either. Does anyone have an idea on how to resolve this?

what happens if you execute 'dig @127.0.0.1 hayholt.org axfr'?
It shows me the zonefile from my server
if i understand your config correctly 195.18.92.98 is an ip
adress configured on one of your nic's. IMHO your second
nameserver entry in /etc/hosts makes no sense. the second entry
is for backup purpose if the first one is not reachable. so in
your case its the same bind8 instance... the entry should be the
ip-addr of your second ns.
just as a note: for security reasons i would add the following to
your bind config:
acl trusted { 127.0.0.1; 195.18.92.98; 195.18.103.140; };
and in the options stanza:
allow-transfer { trusted; };
currently your are allowing zone transfers without any
restrictions, so anyone can find out all entries in the hayholt.org
zone with 'dig @195.18.92.98 hayholt.org axfr'
i just added the lines you suggested but i got the following error :

Also make sure you have a POP3 daemon running in /etc/inetd.conf so that you can retrieve mail. I have been using Postfix for about 3 years and it's by far the easiest MTAs to configure. I hope this information helps you. But if not please feel free to reply. I heared qmail is the easiest one. :))) Never mind about that. By default, the Postfix SMTP server will accept mail only from or to the local network or domain--from postfix.org And I would like to accept from another domain. So if I am in Mexico or France I can send and E-mail without modifing my setup files. My main.cf is the default one. Only some arguements are modified: myhostname, that don't affect the smtp server? How can I make my SMTP work this way? Of course with some security. you can do this by adding the needed ip's to the $mynetworks setting in de main.cf Altho i do want to remind you to watch what you add, if you enter the IP wrong or add complete ranges you might end up beeing listed as an open-relay and your mail will be denied by many mailservers. It would probably be easier to setup a webmail service. Marcel To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: keyboard doesn't works
I'm not sure I'm writing on the appropriate mailing list but I don't know what's the source of my problem. I'm using an old computer with AT (pin-5) keyboard. When I'm using normal AT keyboard everything works fine. But when I connect modern PS/2 keyboard (SGI 101-key model) using PS/2-AT connector it refuse to work in login: prompt although it works in my boot manager and even in autoboot 9-second waiting prompt. Technical details: On boot both keyboards display: atkbdc0:keyboard controller .. on isa0 atkbd0:AT keyboard ... on atkbdc0 But whereas AT keyboard displays: kbd0 at atkbd0 PS/2-AT keyboard displays: device_probe_and_attach: atkbd0 attach returned 6 What can I do? Does your PS2 keyboard work in PS2 based computers? if it does then your converter might not be functioning correct. Else i guess your keyboard is broken.

Re: building a VPN with FreeBSD 4.7p3
Well, nat is definately not a requirement for a vtun, it's just that it's such a common scenerio that it gets lots of howtos written about it. And I would bet that (if you're using RFC-1918 addys as you say) that you really _are_ using nat.

Re: building a VPN with FreeBSD 4.7p3
My intention is to have a webserver in a colocation at my ISP but have the databaseserver and imap server at another location. Since i use BasiliX for webmail access i would like to have a secure connection between these 3 systems. I don't understand how vtun isn't what you're looking for? I've used it for setups very similar to what you're describing. Perhaps a look at the vtun home page, which gives a better description of what all vtun can be used for. I've read the website and i figured that vtun is for binding two networks together. The problems that i have is that: 1. My FreeBSD internal system is not doing routing/nat, it has only one interface with an RFC1918 IP on it. The router is an Allied Data 810. 2. My FreeBSD webserver doesn't have an inside interface, only an outside. i'll try to make an ascii drawing of the situation : --- | mysql server| --- | 192.168.0.2 |switch| | | | | --| | 192.168.0.1 | imap server|- |router| --| 100.100.100.100 192.168.0.4 | internet --- | |webserver| --- 200.200.200.200 I Hope this makes it a bit clearer, or you be able to tell me where i'm wrong in this.

Actually, they're both good reasons to use vtun. Just set up your webserver as the vtun 'server' and the MySQL server as the vtun 'client'. Make sure to use TCP (not UDP) and things will work just fine. hmm, ok, i'll give that a try. I Hope this makes it a bit clearer, or you be able to tell me where i'm wrong in this. I'm not sure exactly _where_ you're wrong, but you are. It can be done, quite easily in fact.

SOLVED: XFree86 lockfile?
I'm afraid I don't know enough about Microsoft to give you any further information, but since you say that it happened after the DHCP lease expires, you should check your configuration files on the Microsoft machine to see if they are making any assumptions about IP addresses. You could also try manually starting the client on eldar, pointing it at the (running) X server on your Microsoft box. Something like: xterm -display microsoft:0 this did the trick, after i started it, it gave the report that it couldn't find the computername. I checked the DNS entry's and they where all correct. After that i checked the /etc/hosts and saw that there was an error there. (the computername was listed multiple times with diverent IP's). After correcting this, xdm gave my Xserver a beautifull login prompt. :-) Thnx for helping me out guys!

Re: XFree86 lockfile?
Ugh, hopefully it won't come to that :-( You might have been onto something with your comment about lock files -- XFree86 creates various hidden files in /tmp, for instance I have: .ICE-unix/ .X0-lock .X110unix/ You might try deleting all of those (if you have them) and restarting xdm again. I'm not entirely sure it'll help, but it's worth a try. I tried doing that, but it didn't work either. I just uninstalled XFree86 and recompiled and installed it from the ports (thank god for fast computers), but it still isn't working. i don't see what is wrong, a friend of mine just said the only solution is to reinstall the entire machine, but i don't really consider that to be an option.

I have tried many times to install the current FreeBSD release (4.7) but am having a problem.

The problem with this is that it already has worked to boot off the CD and won't go any farther. If you know of any solution to this problem, I would be grateful for your assistance. only thing i can come up with is that the iso file you burned was either corrupted or you are using a CD-RW in a non CD-RW drive. Altho that is not supposed to work at all, i have an old 16X speed drive here who can read some things from a CD-RW but fails to read most of it (and it doesn't support CD-RW).

Re: XFree86 lockfile?
This is not going to work. Don't reinstall without a good reason. What's more, it's pretty clear that you're looking in the wrong place. I've looked at your original message and you say you're using the server to connect to your local client. That's wrong. It looks as if exceed is a client (I've never heard of it), and it's not connecting to your local server (display). Reinstalling X remotely is obviously not going to do anything. Exceed is the server, XFree86 is running the client. XFree86 is running on my FreeBSD box, Exceed is running on my windows box. I may be misunderstanding; there's a lot of confusion here. Can you clarify: - Which machines are running X? My FreeBSD server (eldar) - On which machine(e) did you reinstall X? on eldar - Which X client are you talking about? the eldar is the X client - What is exceed? Exceed is a X server to be used in windows - Can you run X normally on your local machine? it used to work until i lost my dhcp lease and since then it doesn't work anymore. The reason i'm looking at the freebsd machine, is because it doesn't work on both my workstation (which i was using at the time of the dhcp incident) and on my laptop which i wasn't using at that time. Since the dhcp incident the Xserver never gives a login prompt, but it does pop up the chooser.

I couldn't get it to work with 5. 4.7 When you start the install process does FreeBSD ask you if you wish to install from a PCCard device? At this prompt I select yes, then at the next dialogue, chose default and the one afterwards I selected IRQ 10. i did so to. I choose the same settings after i verified with my card If you can't get a full dump did you want to try and run dmesg and scroll through, write down all of the entries that relate to PCCard of networking. I'll rerun the setup and tell you what mine says. that is the problem, dmesg isn't installed so how can i run it? i'm in the installer. If i start a repair console i can't run dmesg cause it isn't yet on the system. The pccard service detects a card in the slot but it doesn't recognize it.

FreeBSD is for a number of reasons not popular. One is that people like you that produce negative PR without cause. Negative PR ? I do my best to promote it. so i see I tried the simple act of adding a user to my system. It failed, repeatingly asking me for a user name I had already given. You should not have to have the brain of Einstein in order to put a new user on your system. the really stupid thing is, that when i type adduser on my freebsd machine and then supply the info it asks for it does work. Meaning that you might have done something wrong, but instead of supplying us with the info of what you did and what output you got you start attacking the popularity of BSD. As a matter of fact, immediately after sending that email I started on writing a decent mechanism for adding users. If that is negative PR then I am sorry. A job that should take a few minutes, didn't. When finished I will submit it through the normal channels. in that case, why are you mailing to this list in the first place?

ftp security and apache access trouble
Hi all, I just found a little problem with my security and i hope you guys (and girls) can help me out. I'm running an apache webserver (1.3.27) and the default ftpd (from the inetd). To use the mod_userdir i need to give all dirs and files in /home/username/www 705 (rwx---r-x) and /home/username 701 (rwx-x) for rights. if i don't do that apache cannot read the files in that directory. But if i do this it is also possible for users to login to the ftpd server en cd to another users www directory and download files. is there a way to prevent this? i prefer some way to insure that users cannot cd to other directory's outside of there homedir.

I am way out of date and still have Coax running around my house, so it needs to be using the 10Base2 not 10BaseT. My problem is, the card is detected as ep0 yet I have a feeling that it might be better as zp0. I am not certain about this. The problem is - while it gets detected, quite well, I think. I can see lights change on the NIC as it detects it, which suggests the probing is working fine. It doesn't actually communicate with the netwrok. When I try and resolve my address via DHCP it doesn't flash or anything. Maybe I'm missing something. I can provide any information required. Any help would be much appreciated, i have almost the same problem with my 3Com 3C589 card. The light is not suppossed to blink tho, when i boot windows the light simply burns to indicate link and that is al it does. When i boot freebsd the light goes on and it does recieve a DHCP link. But after that all network communication fails. If not yet found a solution to it. But i was thinking that it might be because the pcmcia-controller from toshiba (laptop is a tecra 700CT) is not supported?

trouble using afbackup
Hi all,
Yesterday i installed afbackup on my freebsd servers. I did a test backup
with it and i worked fine. Now today i wanted to continue testing but i
kept getting this error report in the logfile of the afbackup server
Mon Dec 9 16:44:25 2002, Error: Command 87 ('W') failed (writing to tape
failed.)
Mon Dec 9 16:44:25 2002, Command Error: device is not open for writing.
Mon Dec 9 16:44:25 2002, Error: Connection to client lost. Exiting.
Mon Dec 9 16:44:28 2002, Exiting with bad status 1, current error: No
such file or directory
now with device i assume it means my tape unit (/dev/sa0) so i placed a
new tape in it and used mt -f /dev/sa0 erase to clean it. This went well
but when i restarted the backup afterwards i got the same error.
and i just can't seem to figure out what directory/file it can't find
the client logfiles say
Mon Dec 9 16:44:30 2002, Mon Dec 9 16:44:30 2002, Server Error: setting
the file failed.
Mon Dec 9 16:44:30 2002, Full backup finished.
Mon Dec 9 16:44:31 2002, Warning: Minor errors occurred during backup.
See the logfile `/var/log/client.backup.log' for more details.
I installed afbackup from the ports collection, these are the versions
afbackup-client-3.3.5_2 AF's backup system
afbackup-server-3.3.5_2 AF's backup system
the afbackup server is running FreeBSD 4.5 release-p22
the afbackup client is running FreeBSD 4.7 release-p2
A
does anyone know what is going wrong and how i can fix this?
Thanks in advance,
Marcel
