apache 2.2.8 authdbm woes
Hello, For the past few days, I've been migrating a bunch of apache-1.3.41 vhosts to apache-2.2.8 (on the same machine, 6.3-RELEASE i386). Many of directories are protected with AuthType directives and I want to reuse the existing .dat files. After working successfully for more than a day with the original .dat files, apache-2.2.8 suddenly decides that format is not supported. Here's what the error log says: This function has not been implemented on this platform: could not open dbm (type DB) auth file: /usr/local/etc/apache22/auth/admin-passwords.dat I'm fairly certain that the beginning of the error messages coincided with the first modifications I made to the .dat files after copying them from /usr/local/etc/apache to /usr/local/etc/apache22. The syntax I used to modify the files were: dbmmanage admin-groups.dat add newAdminUser newAdminGroup dbmmanage admin-passwords.dat adduser newAdminUser I compiled apache-2.2.8 with the following options: make -DWITH_BDB -DWITH_BDB_BASE And have the following directives in the conf file: AuthType Basic AuthName Authorized Users AuthBasicProvider dbm AuthDBMType DB AuthDBMUserFile etc/apache22/auth/admin-passwords.dat AuthDBMGroupFile etc/apache22/auth/admin-groups.dat require group newAdminGroup In the apache-1.3.41 httpd.conf file, I used: AuthName Authorized Users AuthType Basic AuthDBUserFile /usr/local/etc/apache/admin-passwords.dat AuthDBGroupFile /usr/local/etc/apache/admin-groups.dat require group newAdminGroup This change in apache's behavior is very strange indeed. I tried copying the original .dat files and restarting apache, but to no avail. I also must admit that I'm a little confused between AuthDBM/AuthDB and and all the DBM/BDB options in FreeBSD's Make infrastructure Many thanks for your consideration and assistance. -- Regards, Doug ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

upcoming version 7.0 live disc
Hi list, a friend visited my place yesterday bringing his HP netserver LH3 with him, 3 9GB's scsi discs in it. Dual pentium II 450. 512 RAM. No hardware raid though. Given the fact 7.0 is near including ZFS. Given the fact, as I understand, freebsd can boot of ZFS I wanna make raid1 on/with ZFS. Now my question: does the version 7 livedisc understands ZFS ootb ? So I can create pools etc, format, label, etc etc. All the things that now are possible with UFS2. And even better: is the installer able to deal with ZFS ? I plan to make this box doing sql and it would be great if, in case of disaster, I can perform a bare metal recovery. Any insights are welcome.

issues with serial console output
Hi list, I'm trying to install a FreeBSD system on a remote server I can only access via a serial console with 57600 baud. There is a Linux rescue system that I use for copying a FreeBSD HDD image via dd to the harddisk. To access the FreeBSD installation via remote serial console I've done the following things: /boot/loader.conf: console=vidconsole,comconsole boot_multicons=YES comconsole_speed=57600 /boot.config: -S57600 -Dh /etc/ttys: # only changed the following line ttyd0 /usr/libexec/getty std.57600 vt100 on secure I can see the loader and can choose between the different choices to boot. After choosing the default entry all I get is this: /boot/kernel/acpi.ko text=0x44a7c data=0x24c0+0x1b8c syms=[0x4+0x7d50+0x4+0xaae0] lots of lines of question marks I don't get a login prompt nor the kernel messages. The console does not response on my keyboard. Any ideas whats wrong? Matthias signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

FreeBSD 7RC2 and VMware tools
Hello to all. I'm not sure whether to have posted this here or on a VMware list; apologies if I'm in the wrong place. The other day, I did a fresh install of v. 7RC2 from the minimal CD on a CentOS 5.1 box running VMware server 1.0.4. I had previously successfully installed v. 6.2, and upgraded to 6.3 on the same box. All has gone well, except for the installation of VMware Tools. Getting the Tools tarball and extracting the requisite files was trivial. However, when I try to run Vmware-Config-Tools.pl, I get a message saying that the program must be run on a virtual machine. Well, it is. Is there a needed FBSD package I'm missing (the Tools install program doesn't complain about it). A known issue, or bug, maybe? Or is VMware support not yet enabled? Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

fdisk from fixit CD: geom not found
As part of our disaster recovery planning, I'm working up a bare-metal recovery sequence that can be followed by someone who's used Linux (easier to find here than a FreeBSD admin). My initial outline sequence was along the lines of: Boot install CD and choose Fixit fdisk -BI extract saved disklabel from tape and install with bsdlabel Initialise filesystems using stored output of dumpfs -m (from tape) Restore filesystems from tape I'm tripping up on the first step, which although it appears to create the slice, throws a ``Geom not found'' message - which is potentially worrying to someone blindly following a recovery script. Is there a way to avoid this message, or would I be better off using the Configure option of sysinstall (and the W option to write the new slice table) before switching to Fixit mode to recover the disklabel (which is the next bit I need to test ``under lab conditions'')?

Still looking for a calendar server...
I've brought this up before, I know, but I need a caldav server that will work with evolution. I've checked out Darwin Calendar Server, but they are not going to solve an issue (as of 2006) that means evolution can't use it, and evolution won't budge either- so a mexican stand-off and I'm caught in the middle (probably with others). So that brings me back to the Apache module under construction (mod_caldav), but nothing seems to be happening with it. I've requested support on the forum their at sourceforge, but I have had no response for over a week, and no responses have been issued since april 2006. So now I'm wondering where to start: is it possible to build on this code to achieve what I want? Does anyone know where to get help developing an Apache module? (especially seeing as this will be my first attempt at c++ programming) Current issues with this module atm is a missing xattr.h file. I'm wondering if it can be changed to support the extended attributes natively in freebsd ufs2. I'd also like to consider using mysql or other db as a backend. I'm scouring the script as of now, and I figure that an Apache module will be more stable and easier to administer. Any help would be appreciated here.

Re: FreeBSD 7RC2 and VMware tools
On Sunday 17 February 2008 01:06:28 pm Dimitri Yioulos wrote: I'm not sure whether to have posted this here or on a VMware list; apologies if I'm in the wrong place. The other day, I did a fresh install of v. 7RC2 from the minimal CD on a CentOS 5.1 box running VMware server 1.0.4. I had previously successfully installed v. 6.2, and upgraded to 6.3 on the same box. All has gone well, except for the installation of VMware Tools. Getting the Tools tarball and extracting the requisite files was trivial. However, when I try to run Vmware-Config-Tools.pl, I get a message saying that the program must be run on a virtual machine. Well, it is. Is there a needed FBSD package I'm missing (the Tools install program doesn't complain about it). A known issue, or bug, maybe? Or is VMware support not yet enabled? Help would be greatly appreciated. I just went through almost the same thing, installing FreeBSD 7 under VMware Workstation on Windows. The config-tools script has a hard-coded version check which looks for libc.so.6 under /lib only. Rather than mess with the script, I just hard-linked the library from /usr/local/lib/compat (where it was installed by the compat6x port). Seemed to work fine after that. You'll need to be careful not to erase it if you ever run make delete-old-libs, though.

Mounting a read-only md FS as read-only
