Re: [9fans] plan9 httpd/pegasus on unix?
for an unlikely value for best this one will get you started, and it's pretty secure once you've learned how to chroot it and run it from tcpserver http://www.proweb.co.uk/~matt/rc/webserver.rc for CGI it's a matter of adding if(test -x $file) and going from there :)

I run my web site on plan9.

Latest one for one site: We blocked the ports to your web server, you were running php x.y.4 and you need to run x.y.5. And, of course, x.y.5 didn't bulid correctly on macos ... ah fun. ron
[9fans] Plan 9 on Fit-PC
I ordered a fit-pc recently to replace my old noisy server, and figured I should do the right thing and give plan9 a chance before installing netbsd or somethnig. It has proven a bit awkward to bootstrap with no IDE/floppy slots to plug in to, but eventually I worked out if you plug a usb cd drive in and tell the BIOS there's an IDE Primary slave and to boot from CDROM it actually boots from the usb... So I stuck the PLAN 9 - FEB 8 2008 04:01 iso in, and it gets this far: PBS1...Plan 9 from Bell Labs ELCR: 0E20 And freezes. I also tried to netboot from my existing cpu/auth/file server. The netboot ROM on the ethernet downloads the kernel but couldn't seem to find a spot in memory to put it[1], so I grabbed gPXE 0.9.3 from http://www.etherboot.org/ and built an ISO. The last thing I see there is Booting from /386/9pc... and then the machine reboots. I'm not sure if this is even getting the whole kernel... last line in /sys/log/ipboot is: phoenix Feb 26 00:24:43 send file '/386/9pc' octet to 192.168.1.11!1024 THNX might be another option for bootstrap, or at least useful for getting the plan 9 bootloader on the MBR - I have it on a usb stick and got it running with a bit of messing around. Finally, the thing has a serial port, but I don't know how to use those things. Does it sound like this hardware is likely to run plan 9? -sqweek [1] segment [009DC00,009DE00) does not fit in any memory region

Re: [9fans] plan9 httpd/pegasus on unix?
Yeah I wish I could. But I'm really doing a lot of torrenting and I can't afford to have another server at home dedicated for that (would be too noisy), so both the torrenting and the webserving have to be on the same machine.

Re: [9fans] plan9 httpd/pegasus on unix?
If you want to write web apps in rc, p9p is enough. http://gsoc.cat-v.org is built with rc based templates and the 'werc' framework (barely over a hundred lines of rc code). If you want to do things right I would use mjl's new httpd for Inferno. uriel On Sat, Feb 23, 2008 at 10:22 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, I have a machine running FreeBSD that I want to set up as a web server (among other things). It's not powered by plan9 because I also want to run libtorrent/rtorrent on it, and afaik there's no bittorrent client yet for plan9. I used to run thttpd because I want something small, relatively secure, and simple, but now I would like to set up something plan9-ish if possible. One of the reasons being that I found Kenji's rc based cgi thingie he showed at iwp9 quite nice, and I'd like to eventually use that (especially since it would be a nice rc learning exercise for me to port all my current perl cgis in rc.) So my question is what is my best option? Setting up inferno on FreeBSD and run httpd from there? Setting up plan9 in xen (or lguest) and set httpd inside that? Try to port plan9's httpd to unix, using p9p as an example? Just stick to some unix httpd because it's not worth it? (I guess it wouldn't be that hard to get thttpd to run some rc cgis actually). Please bear in my mind that this is an old box (p200, 256MB ram), so the solution has to be light (for example I'm not even sure it's possible to achieve the xen or inferno one). Well, I guess it can't be worse than apache2, which actually used to run on that machine...

Re: [9fans] Plan9 on Intel Pentiul D Dualcore (D94RPLrn)
if i'm reading the output you've sent correctly, linux is getting the interrupt mappings from ACPI not the MP table. and your mp table is broken. i don't know very much about linux irq handling or acpi irq tables, but it's likely that your mb manufacturer didn't think a full mp table was worth his time. so, i guess this is the menu of options in increasing amount of effort and accomplishment: 1. *nomp=1 2. bios update. 3. figure out what the mp table should be from the acpi tables and forge an mp table for archmp's benefit. 4. teach plan 9 to parse the acpi irq tables. cheer up! the acpi documentation is less than two feet thick. - erik

4. teach plan 9 to parse the acpi irq tables. cheer up! the acpi documentation is less than two feet thick. Don't worry, I don't think the thickness of the documentation will be an issue, most mb manufacturers ignore it and simply test that the junk they build works (ie., boots) with NT's broken ACPI implementation... This makes adding ACPI support to your favorite OS most fun, fun, fun. uriel
