Ok, just to follow up.  This is now fixed in CVS.  The next setup snapshot
(>2.568) will show installation status as part of the final dialog.
Thanks again for testing.

A new release of setup.exe is currently blocking on the setup_legacy.ini

Odd - no indication of restricted permissions for a non-owner.  Or maybe
it was just a failure of the bash postinstall script to properly update
/bin/sh.exe, perhaps because you had cygwin processes still running when
you originally ran setup.exe.

I'm not sure sh.exe was corrupted, or just the permissions to access it;
but whatever it was, deleting it and starting over let correct permissions
be attached to the file.  And now that it's gone, we'll never know.

Not rebooting when asked to is asking for problems.  Just because it
seems to work sometimes does not mean you will have success every time.
On the other hand, if you already have all cygwin processes stopped
before running setup.exe, you will not need to reboot.

Huh?  The problem here isn't slow release times (I posted readline 5.2.4
within 3 days of when it was released upstream).  Rather, it is the
length of time you let elapse before upgrading, and how many versions
you missed in between.

You sure picked an awfully old message to reply to, seeing as how readline
is currently at 5.2.4-8, and I no longer support readline-5.0-4.

According to Atzinger, Joseph on 5/4/2007 1:55 PM:

Here's a reason:

| 2007/05/04 15:46:44 Scheduled reboot replacement of file
C:\cygwin/bin//cygreadline6.dll with C:\cygwin/bin//cygreadline6.dll.new
| 2007/05/04 15:46:44 mbox note: In-use files have been replaced. You need
| to reboot as soon as possible to activate the new versions. Cygwin may
operate incorrectly until you reboot.

You upgraded cygwin without first shutting down all cygwin processes;
thus, cygreadline6.dll didn't get replaced in time, leading to the missing
entry point error messages.  Have you rebooted yet?  Is the problem still
occurring?  Have you used setup.exe to reinstall libreadline6, this time
with all cygwin processes stopped?

If you had been using the newer setup.exe snapshots, you would have been
properly warned (http://cygwin.com/setup/snapshots/).  I really wish we
could get a new setup.exe release made official.

The + on the end of the permissions states that ACLs are in effect; what
does 'getfacl /bin/sh.exe' show?  Maybe the easiest thing for you to do is
just delete /bin/sh.exe, then copy /bin/bash.exe back to /bin/sh.exe
(because of your permissions problems, I don't know if you will have
success doing it from inside bash, but doing it from Windows explorer
would also be an option); maybe by deleting and restoring /bin/sh.exe you
will get more reasonable permissions.

Problem running Cygwin Apache2 as Windows XP service

[William Sutton]

First off, hi to all of you :}

Now for the problem...


PROBLEM

I cannot get Apache 2 under Windows XP Professional to run as a service using
cygrunsrv.  In the present configuration, when I attempt to run a simple
environment variables cgi script, the error log tells me:

| [Fri May 04 14:01:16 2007] [error] [client XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX] Symbolic link not
| allowed or link target not accessible: /srv/www/cgi-bin

I'm thinking that the presense of symlinked directories shouldn't matter since
the configuration works just fine when apachectl is manually run via an xterm.

I've tried this using the SYSTEM user, my user, real directories, etc., with
no luck.  From the command line, it works like a champ.  Run as a service, it
fails.

Any thoughts on what to do (details follow)?


CONFIGURATION


Software:
- Windows XP Professional version 2002, SP 2 (Intel core 2 duo)
- cygwin 1.5-24.2
- cygrunsrv 1.17-1
- apache2 2.2.3-1

Environment:
- Windows user is 'William Sutton'
- Cygwin user is 'william' (I changed the user and home directory in my
  cygwin /etc/passwd file for my convenience)
- Cygwin/X (I'm a *NIX guy, but need Windows too)

Apache Configuration:
- Apache is installed and runs properly when started from xterm via
  /usr/sbin/apachectl2 start (e.g., web pages load, cgi programs execute as
  expected, etc.)
- vhost in /srv
- mounting cgi-bin off a Samba export from a Linux box
- htdocs is local
- m{/var/log/apache2/([a-z]+.log)*}i are set to william:users, 0755 or 0644
- Service comfigured via
  cygrunsrv -I apache -d "CYGWIN apache" -p /usr/sbin/apachectl2 -a "start"
  (user set as the local 'William Sutton' user)

And in case anyone wonders why I need this to be running on Cygwin, I have to
generate some Word docs from a cgi script and I already have Cygwin installed.

ping returns success on failure

[Richard Foulk]

Ping returns zero (0) after a successful response from a remote host.

It returns one (1) if it's called with a unknown domain name -- a failure.

Unfortunately, it returns zero if the remote host exists but doesn't respond.

This seems like incorrect behavior to me and doesn't agree with ping on Linux.

This assumes ping is being directed not to loop forever (ping host 1 1 1).

Re: popen problems

[Dan Armbrust]

Thats what I keep thinking - but all of my other tools are telling me
it should be executeable:

$ ls -al /bin/sh.exe
-rwxrwxrwx+ 1 mn04swbuild-svc Users 49152 May  3 14:54 /bin/sh.exe


Also, when I check the windows security permissions, 'everyone' is
granted full access.

It's like cygwin itself is preventing me from executing the file from
any other command run by cygwin.

Thanks,

Dan

The above indicates that /bin/sh.exe is not executable.  I can reproduce
the problem with the following:

$ python -c 'import os; os.popen("ls").readline()' # works
$ chmod -x /bin/sh.exe
$ python -c 'import os; os.popen("ls").readline()' # doesn't work

Make your Cygwin executables and DLLs executable.  You may have to use
Windows tools, if chmod is not executable...

  Looks like you typo'd the commandline invocation to me.  Those were supposed
to be options.  The syntax should be 

cygcheck -svr

or

  cygcheck -s -v -r

but it looks to me like you put 

  cygcheck -s - v - r

  No idea.  Can't reproduce in either console or rxvt, either with or without

  Nope, not yet, need more information.  Please send your "cygcheck -svr"

I've tried both - I reran the installer and went back to the other
python it offered - 2.4.3 - I get the same problem with 2.5.

popen problems

[Dan Armbrust]

I made the mistake of upgrading a cygwin install that was working.

Now:

python
Python 2.4.3 (#1, May 18 2006, 07:40:45)
[GCC 3.3.3 (cygwin special)] on cygwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

import os.path
os.popen('ls').readline()

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "", line 1, in ?
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied


What on earth happened?

Any idea how I can fix this?  I can't open anything with popen from python.

Thanks,

Dan

I forgot to ask. could you possibly ATTACH the file generated by
running "cygcheck -s - v -r >./cygdrive/c/cygwin_servercheck.log" -
it'll show up on the root of your C drive.

Please read and follow the problem reporting guidelines at the link below:



My WAG is your user is a domain user and you're not telling 'mkpasswd' to
look at the domain.  But that's just a WAG based on the available
information.

Re: Cygwin Problems on Vista (Install and others)

[Morgan Gangwere]

On 5/3/07, N Y  wrote:

I've read that some people can get Cygwin to run on Vista without
problems, but I've run into almost every reported problem.

I've trying to install Cygwin on my new Dell laptop for two days now.
Intel Centrino Duo with Vista Ultimate.  I'm installing for all users,
unix mode.  From category view, I'm installing all groups except for
audio, databases, games, and publishing.  I have the 2.510.2.2
setup.exe.  The installed cygwin1.dll is 1.5.24-cr-0x5f1.

First problem: hang on gnuplot.sh
I tried everything: run as administrator, setting the compatibility mode,
set the Windows PATH to include "C:\cygwin\bin" before running
setup.exe (via cmd shell), disabling UAC - nothing worked.
Finally I opened Task Manager and manually killed the bash process.
That kicked setup to continue.  Eventually I re-ran gnuplot.sh manually,
once I got bash running happily.

Second problem:
When I started the cygwin shell (via the desktop shortcut), I got this message

"Your group is currently "mkpasswd". This indicates that
the /etc/passwd (and possibly /etc/group) files should be rebuilt.
See the man pages for mkpasswd and mkgroup then, for example, run
mkpasswd -l [-d] > /etc/passwd
mkgroup  -l [-d] > /etc/group
Note that the -d switch is necessary for domain users."

So I ran mkpaswd and mkgroup and that problem went away.


this isnt really a problem. its just cygwin wanting a /etc/passwd and
/etc/group that it likes, but they didnt get generated because of a
phase of the moon bug. (i get it with the user "admin" but not with
the user "user" - both exist on my machine)


Third problem:
Then I tried to click the startx shortcut on the desktop.  The xserver starts
but the xterm that comes with it never appears.  I tried startx from the cygwin
bash shell.  Sometimes it starts and an xterm appears.  and sometimes it
 exits right away.  I closed all cygwin apps and ran ash from cmd.exe,
ran rebaseall.  Now the startx works from the cygwin bash shell.


erm... the startx shortcut is _supposed_ to do that. you can run this
at a cygwin terminal or from a batch file for a child X window root
and twm:
X -display localhost:0 (blah) & (NOTE the "&" and YES it has to be
localhost. no 127.0.0.1 's - Hast Worked For Me.)
twm -display localhost:0 & (again, note the "&")


Fourth problem:
I wanted to quickly test my access to a remote system via rsh.
I open a cygwin bash shell and run "rsh [EMAIL PROTECTED] ls" and get back:
"12673 [main] rsh 4060 C:\cygwin\bin\rsh.exe: *** fatal error - couldn't dynami
cally determine load address for 'rcmd' (handle 0x7414), Win32 error 127
Hangup"


i dont do rsh but have you tried this from another computer (with say
PuTTY) - also, see if rsh's daemon is alive or if you need one.. i
install everything and usually I dont get a real rsh daemon, so i
compile the official one from source.


If anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear it.

Also this is not just a Cygwin FAQ but also a Windows one. There it

run it manually it works just fine".

Re: rsync hang

I have been having some errors when using rsync to copy files from a

yet? The posts I saw were from April of 2006, so I don't know if the

No, unfortunately this problem is not solved. But the problem is not in 
rsync itself, but in the cygwin1.dll. See 
http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2007-02/msg00643.html


I have looked at that code, but it is quite difficult stuff. And I'm 
having trouble compiling the cygwin.dll (downloaded the 1.5.24-2 sources 
via setup.exe), so I can't even give it a try at this moment. Although 
it is not the real compilation, but generating the docs :-S


But a lot of people have this problem. It becomes a FAQ.

 That's not even valid batch syntax.  You want

 Yes.  Use single quotes.  For example, the below should work:

 set LINE=/dev/ttyS0
 c:\cygwin\bin\bash -c '/bin/tload.exe -l %LINE% "`/bin/cygpath -a -i %1`"'

 (you need to quote the output of cygpath as well, as that may contain
 spaces).

Ok, now the Batch looks as follows:

set PATH=C:\Programme\marco\cygwin\bin %PATH%
set LINE=/dev/ttyS0
c:\Programme\marco\cygwin\bin\bash -c '/bin/tload.exe -l %LINE% -I
/cygdrive/c:/Programme/marco/cygwin/usr/uti/include/tload -v SLOW=1
"`/bin/cygpath -a -i %1`"'
pause

With the Option -I set path to the Include-Files for Tload is set, but
it cat find the Includefiles. The tload needs also zcat, but this can't
also be found by tload.
Don't know whats broken here.
