PHP 4.4.0-4.4.1 apache module include() problem

And now for a lot of scripts (the only common thing between them is that they connect to mysql) I have the following strange behaviour: after apache startup (prefork mode), everything works fine for 3-4 requests. After that, the following error starts appearing at random, more and more often as time goes by: Cannot redeclare mmquery() (previously declared in /home/test/func_base.php:9) in /home/test/func_base.php on line 9 At this point, mysql sockets start stacking as well, they do not get closed (netstat -ta shows more and more with each above error message). Now, func_base.php is included with include_once. I tried even changing it to if (!$inc_done) include_once(func_base.php); and setting $inc_done=1 in func_base.php - the exact same behaviour persists. This was not the case with PHP 4.4.0 just 2 hours ago. I've searched google, have seen similar questions but related to older PHP versions, but no reasonable solutions.

I tried even changing it to if (!$inc_done) include_once(func_base.php); and setting $inc_done=1 in func_base.php - the exact same behaviour persists. This was not the case with PHP 4.4.0 just 2 hours ago. I've searched google, have seen similar questions but related to older PHP versions, but no reasonable solutions. I would be most grateful for any pointers... The web dev for our dept upgraded some software for a wiki to the latest version because of PHP version changes, so what you may need to do is change/upgrade any affected php software that accesses MySQL. -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
read grey text -ipf error on load
Hi, When fbsd is booting, it shows an error in bright white inside the gray but I'm not able to read it. Where can I read this gray text or better the error in bright white? dmesg has a copy of what was shown during boot. you can also hit the scroll-lock key and then use page-up/page-down to scroll though the text while it's still on the screen. I could see the error, I was trying to load ipfilter in /rc.conf as handbook says but when the os boots, it shows those messages: link_elf: symbol in6_cksum undefined kldload: can't load ipf: No such file or directory /etc/rc: ERROR: IP-filter module failed to load. I've looked at internet and I found that it's a problem of my kernel because I compiled it without IPv6. Is there a solution to install IPF without compiling the kernel again? Thanks...

getting an old NIC to work
I recently acquired an old HP Kayak and decided to put FreeBSD on it. The installation appears to be fine, with one little problem - the network card doesn't work. (I don't actually know what kind of card it is, as I haven't opened the case on the machine yet.) The card itself is ok - I can use it just fine with a Knoppix disk. The machine is on a LAN, plugged into an old 10Mb hub. It appears to be recognized by the FreeBSD kernel (I tried a 4.9 install and a 5.3 install, because I have the disks at hand - both installs gave identical results): the relevant dmesg output is: pcn0: AMD PCNet/PCI 10/100BaseTX port 0xbcc0-0xbcdf mem 0xfedfcc00-0xfedfcc1f irq 11 at device 19.0 on pci0 pcn0: Ethernet address: 00:66:b0:4a:bc:1c miibus0: MII bus on pcn0 lxtphy0: LXT970 10/100 media interface on miibus0 lxtphy0:100baseFX, 100baseFX-FDX, 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto ifconfig: pcn0: flags=8843UP,BRODADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 inet 192.168.1.10 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 inet6 fe80::260:b0ff:fea4:bc1c%pcn0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 ether 00:66:b0:4a:bc:1c media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP) status: active the machine can ping itself at 192.168.1.10.

Re: New Logo
it would be interesting to learn the total # of core members, and how the vote went, yay and nay, and whether, it at all, the core is hearing the message which seems to be emanating from the non-core.. Sigh. *the message*? Mixed messages at best. Some like it. A few more don't. A number really, really don't like it at all. Many, many, many, many, many more are completely silent on the topic, meaning they really don't give a flying /dev/null. IOW, can the decision be reversed? is it being considered? It is not like a governmental edict condemning someone to death or to pay higher taxes was made. to 'reverse' it, just use what you want on you systems and ignore the decorations on the FreeBSD web site. If the process gets reversed based on the fervent outcry of a small number of people who think they have somehow been disenfranchised, that would be just as silly as the oft-repeated this whole thing was done to please offended right-wingers argument. There was a process (seems to me it was a fair process), it's over, and some factions lost, particularly the don't change anything faction. By gosh and gee willikers, what a surprise. Seems to me like those who are up in arms over this: (a) had every chance to participate in the process a I had every opportunity to participate. I did make a couple of minor comments saying roughly that it isn't worth all the freaking out worry people were putting in to it. (b) did not participate in the process except to heartily denounce the very existence of the process and its goal b I did a couple of idle sketches, but am such a lousy drawer that even I could see that they were worthless. So, I just hoped other more talented folk would come up with something reasonable. I suspect that 99 44/100 of those who didn't submit anything were in about the same place. (c) even now outright refuse to go and be part of the advocacy@ community where this discussion is germane to that list charter c I used to be subsrcibed to the advocacy list, but really didn't need the constant barrage of flames about whether FreeBSD or Linux did the most damage to Microsloth and the endless psuedo-legalistic arguments from self-appointed psuedo-experts.There is too much dross to discard to get to any metal over there. (d) need a real big mop for all the spilled milk and tears d I don't really think it is all that important and am not crying. I am far more interested in the quality of the product and in that, with small occasional glitches, am generally impressed and pleased.But, since the supposed aim was to come up with a real _logo_ because Beastie was really just a _mascot_, I think this missed the mark and just ended up with a stylized additional _mascot_ from which it might be fun to make some more FreeBSD toys. It should appeal nicely to the kid and anim crowd. But, it didn't manage to result in a real _logo_ being adopted. Oh well Biggest. Bike. Shed. Ever. I looked that up once, but have not gotten used to the slang application. It always reminds me of the big covered bicycle parking garages in Japan. You rent a slot monthly or yearly, just like those condemned to living in one of the big cities in the USA might rent a parking space for their car. They hold hundreds and even thousands of bikes.

My understanding that only a single drive on each IDE channel can be accessed at any one time. Thus, if you put one drive on one channel, and the other drive on the second channel, they can be accessed simultaneously. The location on the cable(s) does not matter, That is correct about the two channels, one should be on each. However it does make a difference as to primary or secondary, if you have other drives attached (such as cdrom). Try putting the cdrom as primary, then secondary, and have a watch to discover the difference. This might not be noticed with a normal secondary hard drive, as you may not write to it much.

If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for [EMAIL PROTECTED]). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing? Please let me know: I'm constantly updating it.

ftp user setup question
I just enable ftp on my web server, I have added the user to the ftpchroot file. When I set up the user the users home directory has the default dot files - is there a way to set those to hidden so when the user logs in he doesn't see them? I would prefer to keep all dot file hidden so there is no chance they can get messed with, or worse, deleted by the user.

Non-system disk or disk error
I am sure there is an easy solution to this but here is my problem, and it is driving me nuts. The error message on boot is Non-system disk or disk error. I only get this message if I do a warm reboot with no power off. If I halt the system and power off and restart it boots right up. Computer is a Compaq AP500 (P-II 450mhz, 700MB Ram, Adaptec SCSI card). The system has two SCSI drives, C: which is at ID 1 and D: which is at ID 2. The OS is FreeBDS 5.4, standard installation using the FreeBSD-only boot manager (I also tried the alternate FreeBSD boot choice). No other OSs reside on the machine and I have tried to start with a clean DOS Fdisked bachine before installing FreeBSD. The PC does not have the Compaq bios partition installed but that does not seem to matter. I have not been able to upgrade the ROM BIOS on this machine, but the Compaq Diagnostics and Setup programs seem to work and report the right information about the disks. I even tried disabling floppy and CD media boot but that dodn't help either. Thanks, Portie __ Yahoo!

We're running a similar setup here using 250GB S-ATA RAID Edition drives and 3Ware Escalade 9000-series controllers, a second machine simply rsync's the data from the first nightly... was cheaper to have whole second raid setup and dedicated gigabit ethernet from one machine to the other than was to invest in tape backup devices/media. In addition we do a bi-monthly snapshot on an external USB drive (via tar direct to device... not reccomend cause' it's slow, looking for a faster way myself to do that).

Re: Mounting an iPod
Assistance welcome, James. I finally gave up trying to mount the iPod as an HFS+ device and reformated it in FAT32. Now I can mount it and access its content (I use mount -t msdos /dev/da0s2 /mnt/ipod). However, I can unmount it using umount /mnt/ipod, but I'm not quite sure how to get it to understand its not connected anymore. I wouldn't mind taking a look at the scripts you mentionned early on. The camcontrol utility can cause a loss of data and/or system crashes if used improperly. Even expert users are encouraged to exercise caution when using this command.

Re: Carp and Apache
Dave,
Yes.
The trick with CARP is that it is an IP-level heartbeat, so if you are
running Apache, you want to carp up after you start apache, and carp
down before you stop Apache.
From some test boxes, web0:
ifconfig_fxp1=inet 192.168.1.210 netmask 255.255.255.0
defaultrouter=192.168.1.1
cloned_interfaces=carp0 carp1
Then, web0 application config file:
export CARP_PASS=mekmitasdigoat
# MASTER
export CARP_carp0_IP=192.168.1.206
export CARP_carp0_VHID=1
# SLAVE
export CARP_carp1_IP=192.168.1.207
export CARP_carp1_VHID=2
export CARP_carp1_SKEW=100
Next, the Application control script:
# CARP
carp_ifs=`ifconfig -l | tr ' ' '\n' | grep carp`
# Set up CARP
for carp_if in $carp_ifs; do
eval carp_ip=\$CARP_${carp_if}_IP
eval carp_vhid=\$CARP_${carp_if}_VHID
eval carp_skew=\$CARP_${carp_if}_SKEW
if [ -n $carp_vhid ]; then
carp_vhid=vhid $carp_vhid
fi
if [ -n $carp_skew ]; then
carp_skew=advskew $carp_skew
fi
if [ -n ${carp_ip} -a -n ${carp_vhid} ]; then
ifconfig $carp_if pass $CARP_PASS $carp_vhid $carp_skew
$carp_ip
ifconfig $carp_if down
else
echo WARNING: $carp_if but missing CARP_${carp_if}_IP or
CARP_${carp_if}_VHID!
fi
done
[... later ...]
if [ $status -eq 0 ]; then
echo Apache successfully ${cmd}ed
echo Ready to CARP UP!
if [ -n ${carp_ifs} ]; then
for carp_if in $carp_ifs; do
eval carp_ip=\$CARP_${carp_if}_IP
eval carp_vhid=\$CARP_${carp_if}_VHID
if [ -n ${carp_ip} -a -n ${carp_vhid} ]; then
ifconfig $carp_if up
fi
done
sysctl net.inet.carp.preempt=1
fi
else
echo Apache failed to $cmd
exit 2
fi
Okay, so that's really quite a mess, but basically:
* Set cloned_interfaces in rc.conf to create carpn at boot.
* One IP alias and VHID per CARP IP.
* Set up the backup server with higher advskew.
* For availability, teach you apachectl script to ifconfig the carp
interfaces, ifconfig down, start apache, ifconfig up, and ifconfig
down before stopping / restarting apache.

3 quizz about the freebsd DD arch
hello every one :) good day!
i have list the 3 puzzle coming to me in my recent coding reading of freebsd
0
///
pci bridge dynamic resize
/
it seems that the device arch of freebsd is similar to what is revealed in
window OS. i have read the pcie hotplug tps of windows longhorn ,it is said
that with some hardware mechanisms the pci bridge driver can do global pci
resource window reconfiguration.so good to the hotplugin pci device for it
avoid prelocating resource for the device .
i wonder ,if the mem /io/irq reconfiguration possible under freebsd .:)
1
//
is bus_data_generation
/
what idoes bus_data_generation for, is it the generation count for the
device manager tree?
void
bus_data_generation_update(void)
{
bus_data_generation++;
}
2
//
pci_write_config vs pci_write_config_method
//
under the source code /dev/pci .there are functions name pci_write_config (
pcivar.h) and pci_write_config_method(pci.c)
they both call the parent method ,though the content is different ,but does
that a liitle overlap whit each other?

Help anyone?? Well, are your /usr/bin and /usr/sbin on different filesystems? That's not supported. Kris - Yahoo!

suspend works, but resume doesn't on Dell desktop
I have a Dell Dimension 4700, dual booting XP and FreeBSD 5.4. Windows can hibernate and stand-by fine. I'm trying to do the same (or at least standby) from FreeBSD. As I understand it Windows standby == FreeBSD suspend (zzz). As root, when I run suspend/zzz, it seems to go into standby mode, just like it does in Windows. But when I resume (by hitting the power button) it just powers on normally, as if the suspend never happened. Of course, FreeBSD is not happy about this because the filesystems were not dismounted properly and starts fsck'ing. How can I get resume to work properly? Thanks. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
