Re: Portupgrade thru SSH session

The portupgrade was halted by a [yes/no] prompt, on which I had to react. Unfortunately being not present and I having not set my Putty keepalive session timeperiod I was disconnected due to no activity on this system prompt $-|. What I did after having logged on again was deleting that specific ruby process and some tty processes. Perhaps I should delete some other temp files as well? Before I learned to run portupgrade in a screen session, I never had a problem just running portupgrade again. If I recall correctly the index needed to be rebuilt at times, but portupgrade gave a helpful message telling me that.

Re: How can rsync with ssh be used on a non standard ssh port

Re: terminology question - upgrading one port with another

Can anyone tell me a few terms that might help with this one? I've tried compbinations of port, upgrade, search and different, but that (unsurprisingly) isn't getting anywhere. portupgrade --origin maybe? From man portupgrade: Replace ghostscript-gnu with ghostscript-afpl: portupgrade -o print/ghostscript-afpl ghostscript-gnu -o / --origin was originally the option to supply a missing origin of an outdated package before FreeBSD 4.2, but this example shows another useful usage. Use portupgrade like this, and all the depen- dencies on the old package (ghostscript-gnu) will be succeeded to the new one (ghostscript-afpl) cleanly, without leaving inconsistency.

We recently switched from POP3 Outlook Express to IMAP using IMAP-UW Thunderbird. Personally I have had no issues with IMAP-UW, but the users in our office have had issues with the mbox format itself. Specifically they cannot store messages subfolders within a folder (referring to the Thunderbird definition of a folder). In mbox, since a given folder is not a directory, but a file, you cannot place a subfolder within that file. Outlook Express' POP3 implementation did not have this behavior. Right or wrong, my users have requested that I attempt to restore this functionality in IMAP. Am I correct in assuming that if I switch to a mdir format server, it will operate in the manner they are requesting? I do this with Thunderbird and Dovecot using maildir for IMAP users. My next question is in regards to scalability, not so much in the way of users, but in the amount of mail they store. Currently we have about 20 email accounts, and for the most part the users keep their email to a reasonable amount. However I do have 5 users that insist they save everything, and do not clean out their InBoxes. Currently they retain email going back 5 years, and have mail folders in excess of a couple of gigs apiece. Since one of these people is the owner, I have little chance of changing this policy. However they are asking that I attempt to increase the response time of the IMAP server, which can be somewhat slow for them - especially through SquirrelMail. Would the mdir format help in this situation as well? I saw a dramatic improvement in speed with both Thunderbird and Squirrelmail after switching from mbox to maildir. Last question, how difficult is it to back up the mdir format? Currently I cron a tar job, nightly, to backup the mboxes to another server to allow for tape backups (the tape unit on the server in question doesn't want to play nice with FreeBSD), and have had no difficulty in accomplishing this. Can I accomplish the same style of backups when moving to mdir? I rsync both mbox and maildir message stores with no problem. Tar should copy your maildir folders with no problem. You might be slightly surprised when you realize each message is a separate file with maildir. I'm in the middle of setting up a server to try out various IMAP servers to test which would provide the best response for our specific needs (low number of users - high volume of saved email), and would appreciate any opinions on the matter as it would probably save considerable time picking the right software to begin with. Dovecot was simple to install (from ports), has sensible defaults, lets me seamlessly support POP and IMAP users (about 100), with inboxes (/var/mail/username) still in mbox format, but all other folders in maildir format for IMAP users. Dovecot's developer, Timo Sirainen, is active and extremely helpful on the mailing list.

On 7/11/2006 12:20 PM, Javier Henderson wrote: I saw a dramatic improvement in speed with both Thunderbird and Squirrelmail after switching from mbox to maildir. How did you handle the transition from mbox to maildir? -jav For my POP users, I didn't. I leave everyone's 'inbox' in /var/mail in mbox format. If a user connects via IMAP (Squirrelmail, etc.), folders in /home/%u are created and stored in maildir format, but their inbox stays in /var/mail in mbox format. See Multiple Mailbox Locations: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces Dovecot also comes with convert-tool. For the users who had mbox files in their home directory, I used it to convert those to maildir format. I don't think the port installs convert-tool; I got it by doing 'make' in the dovecot port directory and manually copied it from there.

Upgrading PHP port to 4.4.1 breaks Drupal site
After a portupgrade of PHP to 4.4.1 my Drupal 4.6.3 site stopped working. I used portdowngrade to revert to 4.4.0 and the site worked again. I tried upgrading this morning to 4.4.1_1 and drupal-4.6.3_1, but got the same result. Using portdowngrade to revert to PHP 4.4.0 worked again. I posted to the drupal support list and PHP 4.4.1 does not seem to be causing problems for other Drupal users. The 'missing' files in the error logs below exist and have correct permissions. I also couldn't find anything relevant at php.net or with google searches. I will appreciate any suggestions. Ron Wilhoite Message posted to Drupal list: After upgrading PHP to 4.4.1, my site's homepage loads, but all other pages are blank and I can't login. I restarted apache and mysql, but got the same result. It's Drupal 4.6.3, Apache 2.0.55, Mysql 4.1.15, running on FreeBSD 5.4. I've copied the errors from the apache log below.

Re: Question about Bind
Lisa Casey wrote: Hi Folks, I did not realise installing FreeBSD would automatically install Bind 9.3. I figured if I needed to run bind I'ld have to install it. I didn't want to make too many changes at once so I installed bind 8.4 from ports. Now I seem to have both bind 8.4 and bind 9.3 installed. Probably not a good situation. Base and port versions can be on the same box, but I suspect you need to turn off the default chroot in rc.conf if you're going to run 8.4. Check the named variables in /etc/defaults/rc.conf. What I suppose I ought to do is to uninstall the bind 8.4 and keep the bind 9.3. How do I do that? I have never worked with ports before (although I think I'll like it once I get used to it). pkg_deinstall bind Also - and this is a biggie. named and apache do not start on bootup and I NEED this to happen. I have asked for help on this on this list and on the bind usenet group and implemented the syggestions I got but if I reboot the box named and apache do not start. I have to start these manually. apache_enable=YES Try apache2_enable=YES named_enable=YES named_program=/usr/local/sbin/named named_flags=-u bind -g bind -c /usr/local/etc/named.conf Again, grep /etc/defaults/rc.conf for the named items and adjust according to the version you plan to run. The above would probably work for 8.4 if you add: named_chrootdir=#Chroot directory (or not to auto-chroot it) The Handbook also has a new section on BIND 9 and 5.3. Hope that helps.
