no libphp5.so
Hello agian; I have been gripping about php not producing libphp5.so for use as a DSO with Apache on FreeBSD v 6.2 >> good news >> I solved it. By re installing the system and starting all over again. After reading the output of ./configure in the php source dir, it was reporting that it could not find a compatible version of Bison. I cannot say that that is THE cause, but whatever it was re installing solved it. I did not get any responses so there is no one in particular to thank but thanks all, FreeBSD is free software and what works is far greater in volume and value than what does not Now if only we could get to the developers of the human (user level) mind, maybe we could debug that and be better off.

and it will list where it's found. For example, if you installed firefox,
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [Mon Apr 2 08:10:29 2007]
/usr/home/betom
$ which firefox
/usr/local/bin/firefox
In some cases, the executable of the package you installed is not clear at
first sight. You should then query the package itself to tell you everything
that it installed in a bin directory (where executable binaries go:)
pkg_info -L [pkg_name]* | grep bin
eg:

High disk load +mount/atacontrol/NFS/SMBFS crashes the system
Hello. I have experienced the following problem a couple of times in 2 different machines and FreeBSD versions (see below): when the disk is continuously reading/writing my system becomes unstable (it's not an everyday thing, but quite frustrating when it happens) and sometimes crashes. When copying from another machine by NFS/SMBFS more than one file at the same time (or when using the disk, like during a filesystem check in the background) often crashes (and the disk light indicator turns off). Running "atacontrol ad0 mode UDMA100" when it was UDMA133 crashed the system (the disk activity indicator was always on) when I tried to solve the problem that way. Also when I was installing a port which installs many files on the second machine without using NFS/SMBFS, trying to mount a local NTFS filesystem (with kernel driver) crashed. The first machine is an Athlon XP 2400+ with FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE and custom kernel (see below) and the second one a new Athlon64 X2 3500 with FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE running in i386 mode, with generic SMP kernel. See the boot messages and kernel config here: http://people.freebsd.org/~alepulver/disk-crash.tar.bz2 Also I got (only twice, when checking the filesystem after one of these crashes) the following error on the first machine, that I don't know if it's related or not to the previous problems: fsync: giving up on dirty 0xc51d6990: tag devfs, type VCHR usecount 1, writecount 0, refcount 806 mountedhere 0xc51a4000 flags () v_object 0xc144cb58 ref 0 pages 3232 lock type devfs: EXCL (count 1) by thread 0xc54e2c00 (pid 837) dev ad2s1f I would appreciate any help.

I just > don't get it, why is doing that! Please edit your posts to remove unneeded text, and post your reply after the section you're replying to. This makes it easier to read and respond. First, you can't use comments inside a printcap entry. Those backslashes at the end of the line are line continuation characters; the whole thing is really just one long line. Second, the default printer is usually called "lp". Unless you have that, you'll have to tell lpr the printer name with -P each time you use it. Given that, here's an edit of your printcap: lp:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ :sh:\ :sd=/var/spool/zenzo:\ :if=/usr/local/libexec/if-simple: This requires that /usr/local/libexec/if-simple is in place and executable, too. Now you should be able to print with lpr. However, your printer still doesn't know that linefeed also means carriage return. So we'll include carriage returns with a test print: lptest 66 79 | perl -ne 's/\n/\r\n/; print' | lpr This should print one page. If it works, you're almost there. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA Hi, I configured it as you said. But, there is another problem, the printer always prints the same trash, and I can't stop it. When I sent him a pdf file it started printing trash and after a lot of restarts and stops and reboots it always prints ther same without stop.

pw generates error when creating new user.
Hi all, I'm new to FreeBSD and this is my first attempt to setup a FreeBSD network server (DNS, NIS, DHCP). Everything went well so far. although I have a question/issue with adding new users on the NIS master server. I have a separate /var/yp/master.passwd and I have also created an entry in /etc/pw.conf (nispasswd=/var/yp/master.passwd). From what I understand from the man pages that "pw" will update both "/var/yp/master.passwd" and "/etc/master.passwd" when a new user is created and/or modified. However when I try to add a new user using "pw", an error message is generated: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# pw useradd -c ",,," -u -g -s /bin/csh -d /usr/users/velle pw: NIS passwd update: Unknown error: 0 Both "/var/yp/master.passwd" and "/etc/master.passwd" seems to be correctly modified, but I'm wondering about the cause of this error. Does anyone have some idea? Regards, W. PS: I also had problems search the archives of the mailing list.
