Need help with - FreeBSD 7 FTP Config for Drupal Development
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,

Bind BIND 9.3.5 configuration
I installed bind 9.3.5 on my new FreeBSD 6.3 server. I copied
named.conf directly from my old server (originally from the Internet),
it seems working fine but with some startup errors. I hope someone can
explain or tune the configuration a little bit for me, any input would
be greatly appreciated.
Q1. Bind gave me errors on the following lines due to missing files, I
have only empty.db, localhost-forward.db and localhost-reverse.db.
Should I modify all localhost.rev to localhost-reverse.db? Is it safe
to remove all lines about localhost-v6.rev?

};
zone localhost IN {
type master;
file master/localhost.rev;
allow-update { none; };
};
---
Q2. Regarding the following lines, it seems that I should uncomment
the forwarders, is it the the same IP in /etc/resolv.conf? Or I need
to ask my ISP?
---
// If you've got a DNS server around at your upstream provider, enter
// its IP address here, and enable the line below. This will make you
// benefit from its cache, thus reduce overall DNS traffic in the Internet.
/*
forwarders {
127.0.0.1;
};
*/
Q3. About the following comments, should I enable a local name server?
and how to do it exactly? I have added 127.0.0.1 in resolv.conf, but
how to enable it in /etc/rc.conf?
--
// If you enable a local name server, don't forget to enter 127.0.0.1
// first in your /etc/resolv.conf so this server will be queried.
// Also, make sure to enable it in /etc/rc.conf.
I have used this configuration for several years and always quite
confused. I have put my named.conf at
http://www.msofficeforums.com/named.conf . Please give me some
suggestions. Thanks!

Freebsd7 mingw32 compilation utilities missing.
Hello, i don't know if it's the good section to talk about it... Yesterday, i want to cross-compile an old windows program, so i installed mingw32-bin-msvcrt-r3.12.a3.9 but i can't compile because the compiler and others tools are missing on freeBSD 7, i guess. I guess it because on freeBSD 6, i can see many other packages like mingw32-binutils mingw-gcc etc etc. So my question is : how to have on freeBSD 7, all packages required to build my program ?

Do you have more than one slice on the disk - that which MS refers to as a 'primary partition'? Something you might do to create a 'dual boot' machine. Are you in the position where you can just wipe it and do a reinstall? I wouldn't just move or resize the c partition after the fact. The c partition should be equal to the size of the slice it is in. That should just be true after the fdisk part of the operation unless there is something wrong with the size or alignment of the slice itself. And, in that case, I would expect it to have complained way back in the sysinstall-fdisk part of the process. So, I would start over if I could. Just some pictorial perspective to make it easier (I hope) to visualize. Whole device | slice 1 : FreeBSD Slice 2 : slice 3 : Slice 4 | | : : : | | :- partition c -: : | |Some MS thing : ' ' ' ' : Some Linux : Extra | | :pa' pb ' pd ' pe ' pn: thing : slice | | : ' ' ' ' : : | | : ' ' ' ' : : | - A device (whole disk) can have up to 4 slices labeled 1..4. Each slice can be of different types. MS calls slices 'primary partitions'. Each FreeBSD type slice can be divided in to 8 (really 7) partitions that are labeled a..h. But, c must be used to define the whole slice. Slices are created by fdisk. Fdisk also writes the device's MBR. Partitions are created by bsdlabel (disk label in early versions of FreeBSD) bsdlabel also writes the slice's boot block. It is possible to leave empty space in the whole disk that is not allocated to any slice or within any given slice that is not allocated to any partition. The total of a..h not counting c, plus any non- allocated space, must add up to c. It is possible to create what someone has dubbed a 'dangerously dedicated' disk and just not create slices, but just use bsdlabel to divide the whole disk in to FreeBSD partitions a-h. The c partition must still refer to the whole space available for FreeBSD partitioning. I think it is also possible to just newfs the disk without using either fdisk or bsdlabel and create one filesystem without slices or partitions. I haven't tried it. Both fdisk and bsdlabel are supposed to keep track of the sizes correctly, automatically. That is why I suggest starting over. If you use sysinstall, it calls fdisk and bsdlabel for you and you don't have to do it separately unless you want to look and see what it did. jerry thanks Andy. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list [2]http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message sent using UK Grid Webmail 2.7.9 References 1. mailto:freebsd-questions@freebsd.org 2.

No, you don't need to ask your ISP, and no, you don't need to enable

You should put nameserver 127.0.0.1 in /etc/resolv.conf, that way your
own local machine as a resolver (e.g. will rely on the BIND/named
daemon).
/etc/rc.conf is used to enable BIND/named on startup. You should
place the following there:

Postfix communicating with IPFW
Dear FQ, I recently got attacked with some dsl subscribers of this (imaginary) some.net domain. These subscribers present themselves as [ip address.dynamic.some.net]. Postfix SMTP server: errors from 66-66-66-166.dynamic.some.net [66.66.66.166] What I would like to do is to generate a some.net list with all these dynamic ip addresses and provide them to my ipfw firewall in order to block them on the moment that they try to relay a 2nd time thru my server. This will cause less process time as it is quicker to send someone home by the doorkeeper (ipfw) rather than check his credentials first (Postfix) and tell him to get lost. Is there any way to let postfix 'communicate' with my ipfw firewall?

If I do mv foo/baz foo/bar (so baz is now foo/bar/baz), I will have i(foo/bar) == 25 and i(foo/bar/baz) == 20. Thank you for this example. So I cannot assume inode numbers to be in a specific order. It will force me to do what I originally intended to do: Iterate from 2 up to the maximal number and then check the availability, and, if given, trace back the .. chain to an existing directory entry point - or re-create one, if it is missing, too. Will be a lot of work, but I think I can learn much from this.

Re: Postfix communicating with IPFW

Postfix SMTP server: errors from 66-66-66-166.dynamic.some.net [66.66.66.166] What I would like to do is to generate a some.net list with all these dynamic ip addresses and provide them to my ipfw firewall in order to block them on the moment that they try to relay a 2nd time thru my server. This will cause less process time as it is quicker to send someone home by the doorkeeper (ipfw) rather than check his credentials first (Postfix) and tell him to get lost. True, but Postfix can handle these rejects just fine though YMMV depending on your load and other aspects of your setup to which we aren't privy. Is there any way to let postfix 'communicate' with my ipfw firewall? No, but you can write a script that parses your maillog and accordingly updates firewall rules.

As-is situation: FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE ad0 has FreeBSD ad1, ad2 and ad3 are gconcatenated using 'gconcat label -v data /dev/ad1 /dev/ad2 /dev/ad3'. The concat device should just appear automatically after the upgrade as long as you (continue to) load the geom_concat kernel module. Be aware that if the on-disk metadata format has changed then it will automatically be upgraded. This is usually a good thing but if you need to roll back to 6.x for some reason it's something to take into consideration. Planned upgrade: Reboot from cdrom, install FreeBSD7 from cd to ad0 Just curious, is there a reason you're going this route instead of upgrading from source? Hello John and thank you for your reply! Follow-up question - /dev contains a /dev/concat/label entry - is this entry created when loader.conf invokes the kernel module? Yes. Many of the GEOM modules (label, mirror, concat, stripe, etc) create nodes in the relevant subdirectories in /dev as soon as they taste the drives (or other providers) and discover metadata belonging to them. This is generally when they are loaded (if modules) or at boot time (if compiled into the kernel or preloaded by loader.conf). Any time you insert a device (such as a USB stick) the loaded modules also have an opportunity to taste it and create nodes as appropriate. The machine won't be rollbacked so that's not an issue. The reason for following this route is that it's faster than doing it from source (it's an old machine). The machine has been a playground and has alot of ports installed that aren't being used anymore. The concatenated drives contain data only hence the need to preserve those. Makes sense. :) JN .

page fault while in kernel mode
I took a working 5.4-i386 server and trying to convert its RAID 5 to RAID 10 and load 7.0 amd64. I kept getting BTX halted even after flashing the latest bios and firmware for the raid card, Intel SRCZCR, in this dual Xeon 2.4GHz supermicro superserver. I have another server, bit newer, but same basic hardware makeup with Xeon 3.0 procs that runs 6.1-amd64 fine. Anyway, so I have resorted to the i386 version of 7.0 to see if the server is just incapable of running amd64, which after passing the initial boot where amd64 failed, now gives me the subject error after some reference to GEOM_LABEL. I did rebuild the RAID to RAID-10, can someone tell me what this error means? http://columbus.webtent.org/freebsd.png Thanks for any guidance. -- Robert ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If so, please send those as well or post them somewhere for viewing. It looks like the finance/kmymoney2 port Makefile needs additional work to include dependencies on the tools that generate the PDF documentation (pdfjadetex and others). I didn't have those tools originally, and the PDF documentation generation was disabled. I installed the required tools manually, and I now get an error during PDF generation, although it's different than what you reported. The other thing that might be helpful is if you can change directory into work/kmymoney2-0.8.9/doc/en, type make -d a and capture the output. That will show extra debugging information from make as it processes its targets. By the way, if you don't care about the PDF documentation, you can temporarily change the port Makefile line that reads: CONFIGURE_ARGS= --enable-ofxplugin --enable-ofxbanking --enable-pdf-docs to: CONFIGURE_ARGS= --enable-ofxplugin --enable-ofxbanking I'm likely going to make that switch dependent on the NOPORTDOCS knob as well.

Will be a lot of work, but I think I can learn much from this. You may be able to reuse some code from dump(8). When doing an incremental dump, it reads through the inodes, makes a list of those which are newer than the previous dump, then recursively locates all parent directories of selected inodes and adds them to the list. (When doing a level 0 dump, it does the same thing but by definition every inode is selected.) Having done all that, it dumps all the selected directories followed by the rest of the selected inodes. Dump's purpose is to ensure that the dump will be complete in the sense of containing the full path to any file that is on the tape, and your purpose is different, but I suspect much of the find parent logic may be reusable. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
