Re: Plesk and FreeBSD 6.1 64-bit getting frustrating
Hello We were using Plesk on FreeBSD 5.4, i386, and had a lot of problem with qmail wich is crashing sometimes without any reason. We tried differend tips found on forums and disabling antivirus and modifying some script we managed to restart the crashed mail service by watchdog, but still the mail service crash more than ten times a day. The problem with crashing qmail was found not only on FreeBSD but on Linux too. So our learned lesson was: 1. don't try even to make it work if is not designed for your version of bsd, is a waste of time, 2. Plesk 7.5 is not as good as we thought, you might try Plesk 8, maybe is better, but, I still recommend you CPanel. Is difficult to work with closed source code, if a problem occurs you do not know what to do.

md(4) rootfs mounted read only instead of rw on 6.1
Hello guys I've wrote a script that create an cd bootable iso of a small base filesystem, to boot from CD. In FreeBSD 5.4 it worked ok, but I've moved to 6.1 release and here after boot it mounts the root partition read only. I don't understand why since: i've created with mdconfig -o noreadonly, I have in fstab mounted md as rw, in rc.conf i have a variable to mount root file sistem read write... any ideea why is that happening in FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE ?

If your setup is exotic and complex, I dont think you will ever be able to find a guide. On the other hand, if your setup is simple (eg, PHP+Apache+MySQL, not clustered) then the migration is so simple, you wont even need a guide. Your best bet is to set up a box with FreeBSD, configure it to your liking, install the software you need, and just simply copy over the configuration files, database files and user files over to the FreeBSD box. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Here is a resource http://www.freebsdonline.com/index.php?option=com_contenttask=viewid=30Itemid=46 with all needed packages to run under your webserver CMS software like Mambo or Joomla.

There is a hefty perfomance hit, of course! Did you tried with different ATA cable? I've solved this kind of issues every time by changing the cable or by lower-ing the settings for ATA, like instead of ATA133 to use ATA100, or ATA66. #atacontrol list #atacontrol mode ad0 ATA66 Try that, if it works, try ATA100.

Re: pppoed using mpd - dirrect connect between LAN clients
Yes, i'll try: WAN - | ROUTER | (also pppoe server using mpd) -- LAN | switch | | | | user1 user2user n ROUTER is a FreeBSD Box user 1 ... user n are windows stations connected to pppoe server (win 98, windows 2000 or win xp) On the router is installed a dc++ server. Users 1... to n are connected to dc++ server, they download files from each other. The problem is that traffic from user 1 to user 2 , or between any user is going via LAN nic. If i do not use pppoe server and assign user1 user2 fixed ips then the traffic in lan is direct from a user to another. The traffic on LAN nic is not high. So, pppoe will help in a easyer configuration of a client but traffic in lan is via LAN nic which is bad... if are many computers it slows down alot. If user 1 download from user 2 a 700 mb iso it will take only 1 minute for a 100 mbps lan, but if pppoe is setup and many users download from each others the traffic lows down a lot... i had experience with 300 kbytes/s instead of 8 mbytes/s.

Load Balancing - Nice and Easy - no BGP, no isp help.
Hello friends I am trying for a while to make a load balancer under FreeBSD I would have: 3 nics, ISP1 nic, ISP2 nic and LAN nic. What i've done until now, after reading lots of posts, googling for a while: - I've suceeded to setup an outgoing load balancer with pf, it works perfectly but only for outgoing traffic; - I've noticed that almost everybody thing that it cannot be done load balancing with BSD of incoming and outgoing without help of that both ISP (BGP) - I find hardware with proprietary OS/firmware that can do load balancing without support of ISP. Some are cheap (300$), but at review does not know to load balance incoming traffic (break functionality of some pages accessed, since some of load is on one interface, some of other, works corectly only if i setup to come some type of traffic on one interface, some of other (for example trafic via port 80 on one nic, ftp traffic on the other), also are expensive hardware load balancers (over 1000$) that... i am asking myself how it works, without help of isp. - I've found somewhere that it can be done load balancing but not with one box with that 3 nics, but with 3 boxex, because (that article i am insipring said that every box has just one routing table) because can be created a virtual server that with handle routes from that 2 boxes. - People told me that in Linux load balancing cand be done, 3 nics, 2 external, one to Lan, with iptables. Here is a short article: http://linux.com.lb/wiki/index.pl?node=Load%20Balancing%20Across%20Multiple%20Links So, my question is, if some people made it (in expensive hardware that did have the same OS, maybe even FreeBSD, and proprietary algorythms) and in Linux it can be done (people told me, i've read articles and also so it here, where i live) why it cannot be done under FreeBSD? I guess it can be done, I want to do it with FreeBSD, and want to obtain same performances as with Linux. What is your opinion about that? What should I do? Anybody suceed in making load balancing work that way? Best Regards, Ovidiu ps.

(I've talk also with isp, they said does not support FreeBSD or linux) I've tried almost any parameter in dhclient.conf. If i boot on windoze (same box, same nic) DHCP works.
