Need help with - FreeBSD 7 FTP Config for Drupal Development

2008-10-19 Thread Bruce Wade
Hello,

Today I did a clean install of FreeBSD 7.

Installed and configured:
Apache: 2.2.9
MySQL Server: 5.0.67
PHP: 5.2.6
Drupal: 6.5

Everything is working with the default install and I can browse my server
from other computers. I am able to upload new modules to
drupal/sites/all/modules/{module_name} However I have a problem when
uploaded themes to drupal/sites/all/themes/{theme_name} for some reason the
server gets an access denied error. [Note: this happens when I ftp from
Vista and upload.] Seems that I have not set up the FTP correctly.

For FTP I am using: Pure - FTPD server 1.0.21

Basicly I need to know how to configure the ftp so when I upload a file to
the theme directory the website can still access the directory.

drupal is installed at: /usr/local/www/drupal6
permissions:
drwxr-xr-x 9 root www 512 drupal6
/sites/all/modules
drwxr-xr-x 4 root www 512 modules
/sites/all/themes
drwxr-xr-x 2 root www 512 themes

I have even tried changing the owner for the drupal6 folder and all sub
folders/files to the user I am logging in as but that still did not solve
the problem.

Here is what exactly happens. When I upload a new theme into the correct
directory then log into drupal the theme is seen in the list of available
themes, so that means the server is seeing the files. Once I activate the
theme my web page goes completely white. If I then delete the new theme
folder, the web page shows up again stating that the theme.inc file failed
because of access denied. It is strange that with the same process modules
work with no problem.

Any suggestions?
I am still fairly new to FreeBSD maybe it is something simple with
permissions that I have overlooked.

Regards,

Need Help Installing FreeBSD with AMD x86

I have all the ISO's burned to a CD, but when I put the boot disk in to 
install, after I restart, it goes to the normal windows. I've already tried 
going to the BIOS settings, but nothing there helped me. What do I do now?

More info about your hardware would help.  Are you unable to boot from the 
CD? or are you adding FreeBSD as a second operating system but are unable 
to boot into FreeBSD after the install completes?  What are the normal 
windows?

If you see a short list, instead of the long list then you still
have the OS in image format.  Use Nero or some other ISO
burning software to get the actual CD.

Once you have the CD as it is meant to be used, this might help:
http://www.US-Webmasters.com/FreeBSD/Install/

If you already see the long list, then you have burned the
ISO file correctly.  You need set the BIOS to boot from
the CD.  You might have dig around in there or Google for
better instructions.  Good luck!

 Corey Farwell

Try hitting F12, F10, or F8 as the computer is booting up (with
FreeBSD disk in the CD drive). That will usually give you an option to
boot from CD, depending on what kind of computer you have. Or, go into
bios and set to boot from CD first.

You can download two floppies (kern.flp  mfsroot.flp) from FTP site
where you got the ISOs, or get them off the CD if you can mount that.
Burn to floppies like this (as root):

 dd if=kern.flp of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k
 dd if=mfsroot.flp of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k

Boot kern.flop and follow instructions, eventually telling it to
get distributions from CD/DVD.

You probably ought to first try this to test your burning of the
CD a bit (use acd0 or cd0):

   mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0 /mnt
   cd /mnt

Mike,

It looks like you have a SiS 900 Ethernet controller there, with a RealTek
PHY attached.  The SiS 900 is supposedly supported by the 'sis' driver,
which seems to be in the generic kernel config.  The 'miibus' driver knows
about a RealTek PHY8201L PHY, which may or may not be the same one you have
there.  It seems like this combination *should* work, but maybe this is a
strange configuration that the sis driver can't cope with.

Is there any chance you can get the so-called experts at your ISP to boot
FreeBSD on this box again and give you some more information on what's
actually going wrong?  ie, commands they're trying, error messages they're
getting, etc.

Cheers,

Scott

Need help getting FreeBSD to run

2003-03-31 Thread Mike Doyle
I'm having a little problem with my ISP. They said they would lease me a new
rack-mounted server and put FreeBSD on to it. However, they were unable to
get it to recognize certain parts of the hardware (specifically getting errors
on the network cards not being initialized correctly).
In the end, they installed RedHat on the machine, since their main techie
is a Linux fan. I have the dmesg ouput from RedHat. If there is anyone on the
list who is familiar with both RedHat and with FreeBSD, could you look at this
output and tell me what if any hardware is non-standard and/or unsupported
by FreeBSD ? Will FreeBSD 4.7, 4.8 or 5.0 run on this kit ? Would it need a
custom kernel ?
I don't have physical access to the hardware at the moment, and the dmesg
below is the most accurate technical description of the hardware that I have
(other than its a 1u rackmounted server, celeron processor, ide hard drive)

Try to recompile your kernel with device rdp or rl
look at LINT there is a big section wich describes RealTek
RedHat found it becouse when it boots
it load modules for support hardware
If it does'n work try to port driver from
linux to FreeBSD
it isn't very difficult

barring a more informed opinion, it seems that there is no support for that 
ethernet chipset on FreeBSD.  It is not listed on 
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.7R/hardware-i386.html
My guess is that the rest of that hardware will run fine with FreeBSD, but 
unless you get the FreeBSD dmesg for us I wouldn't know.  They can get you 
the FreeBSD dmesg if they get the rescue floppy and use that after booting 
from the install disk.  Then they can save the dmesg to floppy or whatever.

beyond that, you'd need to either have them put new network cards in the 
server, or you'd have to port the linux driver, or pay to have it done.

sorry,

Need help installing FreeBSD

2002-12-27 Thread venkat reddy
Hi all,

I am new to the FreeBSD community, I want to install
FreeBSD in my lab and I am getting problems installing
it.

I am trying to install Free-BSD on a Pentium-II
machine with 10 GB hard disk space.

I have downloaded the kern.flp and mfsroot.flp and
image copied them on to the floppies and booted my
system with those floppies.

Now when it prompts for the further installation I
have selected the ftp passive because i have a
firewall to my lab. but it says could not log on to
the ftp. 

My question is If I want to load it from a CD. What
should I write on the CD from the ftp site. I am too
confused with the directories in the ftp site.

Please help me what to download from the ftp site. And
 are there any bootable images for the complete
installation process in the ftp site.

Thanks in advance.

Venkat

You can download the .iso image here:

ftp://ftp1.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386/4.7/

then burn that image to a CD. It is for the i386 arch.

Download the ISO image.
ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/4.7

You will need only first ISO image. You will need a cd burning software
(Nero is my choice). :)
