So ... now the question How do I get mod_php working again? (with Apache13) cd /usr/ports/lang/php4 make config (select the Apache module from the menu) rebuild/reinstall php. Thanks, Bill. But that does not install libphp4.so. libphp4.so is not created, or if it is created it has a name OTHER than libphp4.so. That is odd. I just built the same port myself, only two days ago, and libphp4.so is most certainly built and installed as: /usr/local/libexec/apache/libphp4.so and then: locate mod_php But still I get nothing. There's no such file created as mod_php* (even though perhaps confusingly Apache lists AddModule mod_php4.c in httpd.conf; but that's normal). So I compiled the port with -DAPACHE=yes That shouldn't be necessary. Just make suffices. You could perhaps try: WITH_APACHE=yes, to ensure it uses 1.3+ as version. And, to state the obvious, did you try make clean first? - Mark ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I am such a fool! How to recover my data?
Hello, thanks for checking this out! My hard disk and I are in a rather tight situation right now. I believe my partition table's system ID is messed up. Other things are probably messed up too, however I have not done anything which would constitute a format of my data -- hence I hope that whatever data is still there. I believe I've been a fool. The hard drive in question is hard drive 1, a 150gb S-ATA that ran Windows XP and NTFS. Hard drive 2, same type, ran FreeBSD and UFS. I was lacking space in Windows, so I decided to format hard drive 2 into NTFS. I right clicked on My Computer, went to Manage, then Disk Management and then I did what I was suppose to do. Everything went fine. I backed up some data to hard drive 2, which was now NTFS, and enjoyed my session a little bit more before I rebooted. But then, NTLDR was missing. I figured this was because my hard drive 2 had GRUB installed allowing me to dual boot between FreeBSD and Windows. But since it was now NTFS, the MBR now suffered problems. So I figured all I had to do was to remove the FreeBSD MBR, so silly me booted the FreeBSD installation CD and pretended to do an installation, went into fdisk, selected Use entire disk, set it to system ID 6, which is FAT, and then selected Standard boot loader. I don't know what I was thinking, I hadn't eaten all day. A few steps later, the process failed, after all I didn't actually want to format or install anything. Nothing happened. Next I played around with boot0cfg -B on /dev/ad0 and /dev/ad1. Nothing happened there either. Then I went into the Windows XP setup's recovery console and did a fixmbr as well as fixboot. Still, nothing happened. I am currently running gpart /dev/ad0 from FreeSBIE, hoping I'll get lucky. Is there any chance at all I may rescue my data?

Deinstalling X-windows
I could swear this was asked but I don't recall the answer and I've googled bsd till blue. Since starting portupgrade, I've noticed the majority of time is spent bringing various X ports up to date. I was thinking of make deinstall all of X as we use only command line. To explain, we have always installed FreeBSD, pulled in a couple of ports then obtained the major service components we used from their actual provider (e.g. grabbed apache from apache.org). I'm shifting all our machines to use ports and keep them updated but X is somewhat in the way. (BTW, I'm not putting down X, would love to use it, it's just unlikely to do gui admin work via satellite which is how I have to reach our servers). Below is the list of components I didn't install which I'm guessing I don't need on a server (or at least have never had on a server prior to upgrading our machines to 6.x). The old installation always asked if I wanted X and I'd skip it. Can I deep six them, or, because they are now in the base, should I keep them for the integrity of the installation?

slice vanishing
Hi, I've been running BSD, for several versions, as a VMWARE client on a persistant disk. Recently, following an update to 6-stable/pre-release, the label for slice that the system was on has been removed. When I try and boot the system, it reads and loads the kernel but it fails when it trys to mount the file system. Is this an issue with 6-prerelease, VMWARE, or some interaction between the two?

Re: What's so compelling about FreeBSD?
I have a few FreeBSD machine from 4.x to 5.x. I have asked people how to upgrade them to latest version 6.x cleanly. All I was told is that I need to wipe them out and reinstall.

Only if you want to get rid of obsolete/unused files from previous system / ports should you do this. This is more of a time dependency though and not a version dependency, i.e. if I move from from 4.x (used for 1-2 years), I may consider wiping stuff clean and reinstalling from scratch. But if you've used PCs enough you should have known this from experience. This is sort of a good rule of thumb with all OSes to some extent.. My thoughts... Pro-FBSD: 1. Better kernel and userland 'linking' (is 'cooperation' a better term?), due to better overall dev and planning organization. 2. Better documentation; you can find more properly documented manpages and the documentation-for the most part-is centralized on freebsd.org, which helps a lot. Pro-Linux: 1. More bleeding edge hardware support. 2. In general, better software support due to more devs working on Linux than FBSD (or *BSD in general). Another sidecomment: *BSD tends to be better organized in terms of networking and server configs, but in general Linux tends to be better in the desktop arena, depending on what you're trying to accomplish of course. Besides, all good ideas in either camp eventually equilibrates out to the other camp due to proper collaboration and open-source ideology. The main thing that separates the Linux and *BSD group, apart from organization, is the GNU license (more restrictive to devs and for resale of designed product, perhaps, possibly too idealistic in design) vs the BSD license (better for devs and business folks if they come up with an idea and want to market it or maintain their copyright/idea properly with less restrictions in a given respect). But, you should read the BSD and GNU licenses and compare them for yourself to determine where and how they differ.

Well, thanks for all the replies. I didn't mean to rub anybody the wrong way, and if I did, I'm sorry. :-P Up until now, I've basically been running FreeBSD more or less like just another Linux distro, and was beginning to wonder if I was really missing out on something by doing that. That, and I thought I'd give the fanboys a chance to praise their pet OS. :-) Overall, it sounds like I was on the right track, though. FreeBSD has its pros and cons, but it's fundamentally just another Unix-like system. Which is a good thing! ;-) For the record, I really, really, like Debian (and now Ubuntu). I understand that there are packages that allow the Debian packaging system to run on top of the FreeBSD kernel, and I'll definitely have try that out sometime.

I don't mean to bring the conversation from [EMAIL PROTECTED] over here, but you should understand why Linux supports more devices as it's important if you truly want to support open source principles. Basically, the Linux distributions are okay with using and redistributing binary drivers supplied by vendors. Rather than fighting for documentation (some vendors refuse to tell people how to use what they just paid for), they just roll over and run the closed source binary; possibly also redistributing them illegally. While this may allow you to use a particular piece of hardware in the short-term, in the long-term it's counterproductive since you're now dependent on the vendor supporting your device. What happens if your O.S. is too small for the vendor to worry about? What happens if the vendor goes out of business? What happens if the vendor drops support? If you use binary blobs, you're fscked. Don't do it.

bittorrent consuming 100% cpu
Hello, Due to the recent security advisor, I upgraded my python port. Foolishly, I managed to upgrade from version 2.4 to 2.5, which forced me to also upgrade my bittorrent port (from version 3.x to 4.20.2_1,1). Unfortunately, I now find that the bittorrent console app (/usr/local/bin/bittorrent-console) now consumes 100% of my CPU, according to top. I am quite sure that even 5-10 instances of the previous version did not together use this much CPU.

Re: Upgrading in the same RELENG without shutdown ?
Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to patch (upgrading from 5.4- RELEASE-p8 to a higher version) my system without going into the classic : Considering that the system is like 10,000 km away,I cannot pay it a visit when I need to boot to single mode. So, I doeverything in multi user mode, knowing that there is no user connected to the system (web server). Though I do reboot every time that the procedure expects me to reboot, event if it is rebooting in multi -instead of single- user mode. It worked fine so far.

Yesterday make buildworld consistenly hanged on building groff, today after cleaning the memory (using plain rubber on DIMM contacts) it is going fine (although Apache did hang since the cleaning).
