Hello,

It might be all right to remove all normal file logs,
though you may want to retain all subdirectories.

find /var/log -type f -exec rm {} \;

may do.


Possible problem: Programs that log to files may be confused
that the file has disappeared. How about simply cutting the
files to zero length?

# cat /dev/null  /var/log/*


or  # truncate -s 0 /var/log/*

That will save you two keystrokes, and that's important! ;-)


But, there is sometime subdirectories in /var/log, it doesn't matter? 
And truncate can write on archived files ? such as :


markand@Melon ~ $ ls /var/log/messages*.bz2
/var/log/messages.0.bz2 /var/log/messages.1.bz2

Which FreeBSD version do you use? If it above 4.x you could try the 
following:

`pgrep slapd | wc -l'

 or maybe

`pgrep slapd | xargs ps | wc -l'

 or something like this, it depends on your criteria

It looks like you have a workign apache2 already.

*For PHP
*cd /usr/ports/lang/php5
make config  ( choose apache module)
make install clean


*PHP5 Extensions
*(lots to choose from but make sure you have mysql at least selected ( 
you'll need this installed obv for wordpress too )
cd /usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions
make config
make install clean

in your apache httpd.conf   in the AddType section add

 AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
 AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

In the DirectoryIndex section (or on a new line after it)
Add this line
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm

*Checks
*On shell do php-v

on a webpage in your webroot  (e.g test.php)

add this php code
?php
phpinfo();
?

http://localhost/test.php
If that shows you a nice php page then you should be good to go with the 
wordpress installer

Good luck!
Paul.

You'd also be surprised if the php5 package didn't include the Apache 
module, right?  That's why lots of people installed PHP in the first 
place, no?  Lots of people have been thus surprised, for years now.

Seeing Gary already has the module built, he could save it, remove then 
install the package and replace the module IF php was otherwise built 
with the same options, but the only way to get the module is build it.

In the almost singular case of php, I'd stick with building the port(s).

Re: problem with shell script

2011-01-13 Thread Samuel Martín Moro
??

as already answered:
ps ax | awk '/[/]slapd /{n++} END{print n}'
searching '[s]lapd' will avoid grep auto-matching, but would still return
commands like vim /etc/slapd.conf or ./myscript-slapd
about pgrep, like the usual grep, it needs a better expression than the
process name, otherwise it would return the same results as a grep

however, a perfect match may be done looking for the exact path
('[/]usr/local/bin/slapd '), but would still fail when, for ex. running
`objdump /usr/local/bin/slapd -x'
 also, if you want to count the number of outputed lines, using [p]grep and
wc makes two processes, while awk can do it all alone.

awk ftw!

zoneedit.com

2011-01-13 Thread Jack L. Stone
I have used zoneedit.com's DNS zone service for about 9 years and it
handles a number of static IPs for my companies.

Now, suddenly they have created a new platform and migrating accounts
from the legacy platform to the new. The legacy site doen't work anymore,
just confirms account and redirects to the new site.

Are there any members here using zoneedit.com and having trouble with their
login? I cannot get my login to work and they won't solve the problem. They
say they have reset my password but it doesn't work. The legacy web site
says my account has been migrated, yet the login doesn't work. The legacy
site responds to my normal email address used for the entire 9 years, but
the new platform only responds with an error that the email doesn't exist.

The service still works, but no access to manage my zones.

(Yes, I copy/paste the login so no typos.)

I've sent numerous request for help since Jan 12th but only get the robot
response with the same information about responding in 24 hours -- but,
they never respond.

Now, here I sit without access to numerous domain zones I need to edit with
any way to access them. This is hurting my biz.

So, anyone with this issue out there or know of an alternative company to
replace zoneedit?

Thanks for any response (no robots pls -- heh, heh)

What's the size of the log file?

ls -lsha /var/log/ | grep modsec2

I'm not sure but I think you need *SOME* free space to delete. If that is
the case, move the log to a new device, then delete it from the target
device. Alternatively you could compress the log and target it to a new
device, giving you at least a backup.

Hi,
 So, anyone with this issue out there or know of an alternative company to

I wouldnt particularly reccomend my domain registrar - I've sworn
at its robot most times I used it (except maybe last couple of
times, by when maybe they'd fixed bugs, I'd learnt their thought
process, or just got tired).

My domain registrar too upgraded to a new system maybe a couple of
years ago. After a while I realised they'd bought a generic domain
registrar's web interface  customised it for their business, - so
one might jump ship to a new registrar  see the same problems if unlucky.

Which domain registrars use what etc, I wouldn't know, but you could try

 I've sent numerous request for help since Jan 12th but only get the robot
 response with the same information about responding in 24 hours -- but,
 they never respond.

 Now, here I sit without access to numerous domain zones I need to edit with
 any way to access them. This is hurting my biz.

 So, anyone with this issue out there or know of an alternative company to
 replace zoneedit?

 Thanks for any response (no robots pls -- heh, heh)

 (^_^)
 Happy trails,
 Jack L. Stone

trouble building mail/php5-imap

2011-01-13 Thread Gary Kline

For unknown reasons the lang/php5-extensions ports fails when it
reaches mail/php5-imap?  I have upgraded the ports tress by hand and
have tried portupgrade and portmanager.  I think this
(mail/php5-imap) is the only port that won't rebuild.  

Is there any known problem with this imap port?

Date of a FreeBSD installation

2011-01-13 Thread David Demelier

Hello folks,

I'm just guessing if there is a way to know a FreeBSD installation date. 
We can't look after the uname -a ident since an update of the FreeBSD 
kernel is possible.


I think searching a file absolutely not touched ever in the system can 
helps but which one?


markand@Melon ~ $ ls -l /root/.cshrc
-rw-r--r--  2 root  wheel  798 19 Jul 04:17 /root/.cshrc

It seems that this file has the FreeBSD dist access time so can't refers 
to neither.


Do you have any clue?

Cheers,

I always use for this the oldest installed pkg:

lock contention problem?

2011-01-13 Thread dieterbsd

I suspect that I have a problem with lock/mutex contention.
Reading from a USB disk appears to lock out the firewire driver
for too long, causing data transfer (writing to firewire bus) to fail
with EAGAIN.  Once it fails it does not recover.

kernel: fwohci1: IT DMA underrun (0x40308011)  (stat  
OHCI_CNTL_CYCMATCH_S)

last message repeated 63 times
This is from the end of the fwohci_itxbuf_enable() function in 
dev/firewire/fwohci.c


I added LOCK_PROFILING to the kernel and gathered some data.
The data is quite verbose, so I sorted by max and am including
the first 40 lines.  This is a true real-time task, so I am concerned
with the worst case rather than the average.

First, data from approx 20 seconds without a problem:

Re: problem with shell script

 Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2011 15:01:45 +0100
 From: Frank Bonnet f.bon...@esiee.fr
 Subject: problem with shell script

 Hello

 I'm in trouble with a simple shell script that give erroneous value when 
 running ...

 If I run commands interactively everything runs well

   ps ax | grep slapd | grep -v grep | wc -l
1

 If I run in the following shell script :

 #!/bin/sh
 SD=0 SD=`ps -ax | grep slapd | grep -v grep | wc -l` echo $SD

 the result is 3 !!!

Advice: don't try to 'out-think' the machine -- make it _show_ you what it
 is doing.

Change the script to:
   SD=`ps -ax | grep slapd | grep -v grep | tee /dev/tty | wc -l` echo $SD


I suspect thet the -name- of the script file has 'slapd' in it.

 Usually not, but it depends on the logging mechanism. If a program

 should be created if non-existent. But if the program keeps the file open 
 and just writes to it, it can cause trouble. Good programs check the 
 return code of the writing operation and signal an error. Bad programs 
 don't do that, they just keep writing to nowhere. :-)

_syslogd_ *explicitly* does -not- _create_ any log files.  it is documented
in the manpages that it behaves that way.  Whether or not this is a good 
idea is debatable, but it does allow you to suppress some logging w/o having
to edit the syslog.conf file and/or re-start syslogd.

  I mean, I picture I have to manually touch a lotta them in order to 
  avoid cannot find error messages?

Syslog does -not- give any such messages, it just doesn't write the message

It's worth noting that if you delete an open file, any programs with
open write handles to the file can still write to it and thus chew
up disk space.   So ... you can't just reach in and delete log files
unless you're sure nothing has them open.

 installed FreeBSD on this system on Apr 1 2010.

Certainly the target of the link would change; my /etc/termcap points to:

-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  206901 Dec 14 21:03 /usr/share/misc/termcap

This particular box I'm looking at had been updated from FreeBSD-4.x through 
7-STABLE, so a 2001 timestamp for the original installs seems about right.

I wonder, are you folks using something other than UFS for / 
filesystem...perhaps ZFS or whatever handles the dates on symlinks differently?

I'm all UFS.  My first installation was 8.0-RELEASE.  At that time, I
don't think termcap was even a symlink, but I could be mistaken.

I'm looking at the date on the symlink itself, not its target.

  Hello
 
  I'm in trouble with a simple shell script that give erroneous value when 
  running ...
 
  If I run commands interactively everything runs well
 
ps ax | grep slapd | grep -v grep | wc -l
 1
 
  If I run in the following shell script :
 
  #!/bin/sh
  SD=0 SD=`ps -ax | grep slapd | grep -v grep | wc -l` echo $SD
 
  the result is 3 !!!
 
 Advice: don't try to 'out-think' the machine -- make it _show_ you what it
  is doing.

Might I suggest the oft-overlooked o option to ps(1)...

ps axo ucomm | grep -c slapd

I can't think of anything better to achieve what the OP wanted.

Naturally... for those that need more (that is, if you want to see
meaningful output rather than just the line-count)...

try:

ps axo pid,state,ucomm

or:

ps axo pid,command | awk '$2~/slapd/{print}'

naturally, for ``wider'' output:

ps axwwwo pid,command | awk '$2~/slapd/{print}'

And the creme-de-la-creme:

ps axwwwo pid,command | awk '$2~^slapd$||$2~/slapd${print}'

which will only print a line if the first word of the entire command is
wholly slapd or ends in /slapd.

Additional solutions/combinations left as an exercise to the reader.

(full sig at bottom)


 
 Change the script to:
SD=`ps -ax | grep slapd | grep -v grep | tee /dev/tty | wc -l` echo $SD
 
 
 I suspect thet the -name- of the script file has 'slapd' in it.

This is nearly always accurate on any FreeBSD system (when wanting to

ls -l /etc/defaults/rc.conf

But again... not always. Though for all situations where the answer is
_NOT_ the correct answer... there's usually a damned-good explanation
why (the machine was rsync'd etc.), in which case I still consider the
date returned to be accurate (for any time /etc/defaults/rc.conf -- or
perhaps even better... /etc/rc -- is touched, I'd consider the system to
be rebuilt since those files should be somewhat golden on a system
-- read: never touched except during system upgrade or rsync etc.).

agree with you that this is dependent upon the definition of accurate

That being said... because mergemaster _can_ touch every file on the
system, you really can't get an accurate answer from _any_ file's
timestamp.

You're going to have to resort to things that aren't touched during a
system upgrade if you want to find out the `true' answer as to when the
box was first ... what? partitioned? newfs'd? clue me in here.

What _is_ the definition of built ??? When the hardware pieces were

 What's the size of the log file?

 I'm not sure but I think you need *SOME* free space to delete. If that is
 the case, move the log to a new device, then delete it from the target
 device. Alternatively you could compress the log and target it to a new
 device, giving you at least a backup.

Sweet Jebus! Ever hear of logrotate[1]? That would at least have solved this
problem in advance. My previous idea still stands. I believe rm (-f) still
requires *SOME* free space on a device to delete something. That being said,
do you have more then 50G free elsewhere on the system? Say /home
(/usr/home)? If you do, mv the file from /var/log to /usr/home. This would
effectively delete it from /var/log and free up it's space. Once it's moved
to a different location, you should have no problems doing with it as you
wish, compress and archive it or just arbitrarily delete it from the new
device if no backup is needed.


[1] I use a default setup for logrotate, it then archives each file in
/var/log, I then just archive /var/log/*.bz2 based on date and delete the
old bz2 archives from /var/log. This keeps /var/log pretty trimmed and the
only time it runs out of space is when something goes wild and eats up all
of it's space before logrotate can clean things up.

Is your system running on a raised securelevel maybe? See
in man security where this is mentioned, section SECURING
THE KERNEL CORE, RAW DEVICES, AND FILE SYSTEMS. It seems
that this could cause different behaviour in relation to flags.

I will _not_ advise you to kill the files per inode (fsdb,
clri) because this could cause further filesystem trouble. :-)

its the php mysql extension it's moaning about, not the mysql server.

what do you get from pkg_version -Iv | grep php5

i wouldn't normally do it like this, but in your case i'd be tempted to

cd /usr/ports/databases/php5-mysql
make install clean

If you haven't removed it, a line in /etc/rc.conf should be written by 
sysinstall at system install time:

How about /var/empty:

It can be changed, but doesn't look likely.

  I did not believe it--because I *do* have mysql installed.
  Moreover, I set up a wordpress database and wordpress_user,

  So far I am heading into the third day of this: trying to get

  is that it looks SO simple.  Not my experience!)

  I've upgraded the entire 700 ports since last October.  I have

Re: awk question: replacing %d%s by %d %s

2011-01-13 Thread Robert Bonomi

 Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2011 06:28:19 +0100
 From: Polytropon free...@edvax.de
 Subject: awk question: replacing %d%s by %d %s

 I'm aware that this is not an awk question list, but I'm confident there 
 are many awk gurus here who can surely help me with such a stupid 
 problem. I also know that I get more and more stupid myself for NOT being 
 able to solve this, even after... some nearly infinite time. :-)

 I have strings of the form either number(s) or
 number(s)letter. I catch them with

  if(match(nr, [a-z]))
   ...

 where nr is the name of the string. What I need is a simple space 
 between number(s) and letter, so for example 12a would get 12 a, 
 6d would get 6 d, and 58 would stay unchanged. I've tried with 
 split(), with array manipulation and could produce 10 lines of code that 
 didn't work as intended
 (it produced 1122aa, 66dd and 5588 according
 to the examples above).

 Obviously, sub(nr, [a-z],  [a-z]); is nonsense.


True.  But 
 sub(nr,[a-z], );

does the trick.  (tested on Freebsd 7.2)

Explamation:  is a  'replacement side' magic incantation to the regex 
library that means 'that which was matched by the pattern regex'.

Typically if a service is running and you delete the log from it, 
 the service will not like it.  You can HUP the service to have it restart 
 logging, but you'd have to do it manually for each log you deleted.

Attempt to write outside dump device boundaries

2011-01-13 Thread Janos Dohanics
I have been having problems with a newly built system which I have
installed 8.2-PRERELEASE amd64. One problem I posted at
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2011-January/225822.html
(Fernando, thank you for replying).

After wiping and reinstalling, I made sure that I could obtain a kernel
dump.

Next, I have set up gmirror. Upon reboot, synchronizing the mirror was
going very slow.

I checked the drives with smartctl; one drive turned out to be faulty.

Next, removed the faulty drive from gmirror, and did reboot -d. At this
point, I got the error Attempt to write outside dump device
boundaries similar to what's described in
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2008-December/046982.html

Once the system came back up, and I could verify that the faulty drive
was no longer part of gmirror, did reboot -d again, which caused the
same error.

Next, physically disconnected the faulty drive, and had no problem
getting a kernel dump.

Next, reconnected the faulty drive, but did not insert it into gmirror,
and had no problem getting a kernel dump.

I obviously need to replace the faulty drive. Beyond that, I'm
wondering if someone could explain why is it not possible to get a
kernel dump when a drive in gmirror fails.

I *did* read what you said.

To be blunt, you are full of sh*t as regards any file used by the standard
Berkeley syslog daemon, (syslogd).  The Berkeley syslogd is the standard
system log daemon on FreeBSD, although somme people do replace it with


 The appropriate service recreates the log 
 file. 

_IF_ a service, e.g, apache logs _directly_ to it's own logfiles, this _may_
be true  It is explicitly *NOT*TRUE* for log files used by the standard
(Berkeley-based) syslogd daemon.  The FreeBSD manpage for syslogd, quoted
above, confirms that you do -not- know what you're talking about.

Any basic system log would be covered by this.

Male Bovine Excretement applies.

Try it and see.

I've got over 25 years experience as a professional system/network admin,
all on BSD-derived systems. I can't tell you _how_many_ times I've been
called in to fix a 'failure to log' problem that was due to the logfile
simply -not- being present, even afer a reboot.

Now I'm not infallable, so I cheked the reference documentation _before_
posting,  The standard FreeBSD syslogd is -documented- as _NOT_CREATING_ 
the logfiles it uses, *UNLESS* the '-C' option is specified upon program 
invocation.

Since a logging service cannot tell whether the system is in single-user
or multi-user mode, you can verify this syslogd behaviour by simply deleting
one of the common log files -- say /var/log/messages -- then killing the
running syslogd, and re-starting it.  As you say Try it and see.

Need some device help

2011-01-13 Thread Robert Boyer
 am in the process of moving all of my NAS from open solaris to FreeBSD (I 
hope?) and have run into a few speed bumps along the way. Maybe I am doing 
something way way wrong but I cannot seem to find any info at all on some of my 
issues. I hope this is the right list to ask - if not please steer me in the 
right direction. 

I am not new to BSD's but then again I am not intimately familiar with a lot of 
the inner workings and things have change a bunch since my kernel hacking days 
of NET2 on a vax so this is probably just a parameter somewhere but I cannot 
seem to find it. Here goes...

Question 1?

I am trying to get FreeBSD running ZFS to work as both a server and a consumer 
of iSCSI targets and can't seem to attach to more than 8 devices. In fact it 
seems to break after a TOTAL of 8 SCSI devices on the client (initiator end) 
after attaching 8 SCSI devices da0 through da7 target discovery even stops 
working with this message when running ANY iscontrol commend on the initiator.

ISCSISETSES: Device not configured 

I believe this is on the initiator end and has to do with the total number of 
attached scsi devices but am not completely sure - I am using the built in 
iscsi initiator and kernel module NOT open iscsi and istgt on the server. Any 
ideas? Is this on the server end somehow? Ps. There is absolutely no messages 
in any log server or client after the 8 device and iSCSI stops working the 
above message comes from the iscontrol command with the -v option.

Question 2?
In order to make device names persistent I am using glabel on raw 
non-partitioned devices to simulate solaris persistent device names. I also 
understand that I can use GPT disks and that glabel somehow integrates with the 
GUID? Is this the case or is using GPT a completely independent alternative to 
using glabel? In any case what is the best/most common practice to achieving 
the end result (reliably and dependably) in the FreeBSD world?

Thanks a lot

WORDPRESS strictly first-rate.  Given that, I should be the last
person to *ever* invest going into four days on this kind of
effort.   That said, a straight-up thanks for y'all who have
helped me with this.-

I cut/pasted part of the config page to a yello w notepad.  It
unfortunately has those unfortunate DOS EOL things with the ^M.  
[i Figured maybe in pasting the lines, the wasted byte would
vanish.  Nope.   Anyway, can folks tell me what is meant by

There are 8 places with define()'s. I can dream up 8 strings or

Adam,

I think Robert is right at least in regards of SOME
programs that use syslogd for logging OR do the
logging stuff on their own.

I may mantion ftpd logging as an example. Many years ago,
I have learned that setting

ftp  (...stuff...)  ftpd -ll

in /etc/inetd.conf (the ell ell is important) and adding

!ftpd
*.* /var/log/ftpd.log

to /etc/syslog.conf would cause ftpd to do extended
logging. You can imagine how surprised I was that
there was no log file at all. I had to manually

# touch /var/log/ftpd.log

in order to enable the logging mechanism. Simply deleting
the file won't cause ftpd to create it on its own, and
syslod also doesn't create it, if I remember correctly.

It's also worth mentioning that programs that handle
logging on their own may be brought into trouble if the
logfile suddenly disappears, depending on the access
mechanism for that file, either by open/append, write,
close or by don't close, keep writing.

That being said, I think one can recommend resetting
or clearing methods for all logs not depending on
deleting and (maybe) re-creating the files. Instead
setting them to zero length should not harm syslogd
or any other process that logs to files.

The methods of echo ''  $file or even the more
verbose cat /dev/zero  $file have been mentioned
on list, with $file being a shell wildcard expression
or `find ...` for better control about what to work
with.

Correct accounting is 'one _excess_ byte per line break'.

  recode cp437..iso8859 filename

no need to install the port/package --

   tr -d '\r' dosfile unixfile

does the trick, with just a base install utility.

just confirms account and redirects to the new site.

Are there any members here using zoneedit.com and having trouble with their
login? I cannot get my login to work and they won't solve the problem. They
say they have reset my password but it doesn't work. The legacy web site
says my account has been migrated, yet the login doesn't work. The legacy
site responds to my normal email address used for the entire 9 years, but
the new platform only responds with an error that the email doesn't exist.

The service still works, but no access to manage my zones.

(Yes, I copy/paste the login so no typos.)

I've sent numerous request for help since Jan 12th but only get the robot
response with the same information about responding in 24 hours -- but,
they never respond.

Now, here I sit without access to numerous domain zones I need to edit with
any way to access them. This is hurting my biz.

So, anyone with this issue out there or know of an alternative company to
replace zoneedit?

Thanks for any response (no robots pls -- heh, heh)

Aloha Jack,

Yes, I use Zone Edit.



I just had to email them at Support:  supp...@zoneedit.com
and Paul T. sent me this link to the legacy site as they havent migrated 
all the DNS.  http://www.zoneedit.com/auth/


My issue was that I had the older view era monitor on the rack I use to 
do this and read emails. Their new web face is wide screen and my 
monitor chopped off the link to the old site to log on so I emailed them 
and they answered me in a day.

 It can be changed, but doesn't look likely.

 On my system, it gives a date several months in advance of my install

Oops, you're right.  I just checked and it is a few days before I
actually installed mine, so that is probably when the ISO was built.

I think that newsyslog will create the new log files if specified in the

BINGO!  

Furthermore 'newsyslog' is *NOT* part of the Unix 'standard'.  You _cannot_ 
count on it being present on every/all Unix system.

Newsyslog is also -not- a 'logging service'.  'syslogd' is the logging
service, and syslogd does -not- create any files mentioned in its .conf
file.

Newsyslog, itself,  doesn't even consult the syslog.conf file. It operates
entirely independantly o , and _tolally_ignorantly_ of, what syslogd does.

_IF_ 'newsyslog' exists, 
and is configured to run at system start-up,
=and= the logfile in question is also configured in the newsyslog.conf file,
*AND* that logfile entry has the 'C' {create if missing} flag set,
_THEN_AND_ONLY_THEN_ will the file get created  when the system transitions 
into multi-user mode.

I suspect it is a transcription error by Robert in his email.

From man awk:

   sub(r, t, s)
  substitutes t for the first occurrence of the regular

  r in the string s.  If s is not given, $0 is used.


So the correct syntax is:

sub([a-z],  , nr)
