RE: Apache 2.2 + PHP5 + SuExec + (fast-cgi or mod_fcgid)
I am under the impression that suPHP is the better/more secure way of
running PHP with Apache. In addition you don't need suEXEC to do so. Am
I incorrect in these assumptions? What are the benefits of running PHP
as a CGI(if you don't mind me asking) ?

Subject: Apache 2.2 + PHP5 + SuExec + (fast-cgi or mod_fcgid)
Hello Everyone,
I am researching how to run PHP as CGI with Apache's Suexec module. Up
to
this point we have been using PHP as an Apache mod, but are looking to
move
to the more secure solution.
I am not sure this is exactly the right list top post to so if anyone
knows
a better one please let me know :-)
I am using FreeBSD (8) as the OS, Apache 2.2, PHP5 with several
extensions
installed.
What I am looking for is to have PHP run as a CGI wrapped with suexec,
and
to have the fastcgi module, or, mod_fcgid. I have never set this up
before
so if anyone knows of a usefull 'how-to' that would be great. I have
been
reading through
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/freebsd-apache22-fastcgi-php-configuration/
and
it seems to have some good hints.
Of course, once we get this all figured out, I will post a complete step
by
set here.
TIA,
-Grant

Dell PowerEdge 1950: MPT0 doesn't recogniz hard drive > 2TB
On a Dell PowerEdge 1950, BIOS from 2007, a freshly installed WD 3 TB SATA 6GB harddrive doesn't get recognized as 3 TB disk, it is reported as 2TB disk only. The box is running FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE (see below the dmesg excerpt). The drive is configured as ZFS pool on top of a GPT partition. I tried the 3 TB harddrive on a FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT box with Intel ICH10R SATA chipset and it worked fine, was reported as 2.7TB drive as expected. I found some postings concerning mptutil not dealing with HD > 2TB, but this issue seems not to be a tool-issue. Questions: a) Is this an issue of FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE or is it a firmware/BIOS issue which can be solved? b) regarding to a), how can I update the BIOS/MPT firmware of the Dell PowerEdge 1950? Is there an option to do this via USB? As I said, the firmware is quite old, it's from 2007. Thanks in advance, Oliver == Copyright (c) 1992-2011 The FreeBSD Project.

Re: Apache 2.2 + PHP5 + SuExec + (fast-cgi or mod_fcgid)
*fast* cgi , which as the name implies, is erm, fast ;)
See, only apache has PHP as a module.
Other web servers such as nginx or lighttpd use a fastcgi process.
This has several advantages:
- you'll no longer see apache exit with (quote) a "signal 11, core
dumped" because of lousy php code / errors.
- you can use different php config files for different vhosts
- php fcgi is faster
- you can use process accounting to check the processing time consumed
individually by your web server , and your PHP processes
- you will slightly reduce the size of your apache processes, since
they'll no longer load mod_php

You can either do that directly in front of the server, or remotely with dell's DRAC and by using virtual media.

Dell PowerEdge 1950 with LSI SAS1068E/aka DeLL SAS-6 HBA: howto update firmware with FreeBSD?
We run a Dell PowerEdge 1950 Server which is equipted with a LSI Logic LSISAS1068E SAS HBA, branded as a Dell SAS-6 HBA (MPT). The firmware is dated to 2007 and is not capable of handling hard disks larger than 2 TB. We got now a 3 TB SATA harddrive (WD WD30EZRX) which doesn't get recognized properly and is traeted as a 2TB disk. I found at Dell's website a proper firmware for this type of SAS controller, but I wasn't able to flash a new firmware (firmware found at http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/format.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&deviceid=13856&libid=46&releaseid=R197383&vercnt=3&formatcnt=0&SystemID=PWE_1950&servicetag=&os=WNET&osl=en&catid=-1&dateid=-1&typeid=-1&formatid=-1&impid=-1&checkFormat=true). This fails. The windows alternative is not applicable, how should it ... A FreeDOS solution - like LSI Logic offers - is obviously not in sight at Dell, the offer a RedHat only solution. I tried with a FedoraLive CD (Fedora15, 64Bit), but the process fails either with a non-found builVer.sh-error or, when using a emergency-Linux CD like Knoppix 6.4.4 (famous in Germany), it's missing some utilities (rpm, stty or whatsoever). So, I'm floating like a dead man in the water, having a full old 2 TB harddrive, an exchange 3TB harddrive which is recognized as 2 TB harddrive and no chance to update the controller's firmware. Is anybody out here with a solution under FreeBSD? The box is running FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE with a most recent buildworld. Thanks in advance, Oliver P.S.

I see you have 12G. I'm totally ignorant on the distribution of memory for the 6 cores if there is such a thing. Is it advantageous to have a multiple of 6 when ordering memory? (12, 18, 24) As far as stability is concerned for a webserver, I don't see it as a major concern. I'm sure some of my older machines of the last 15 years were less stable even though they all had ECC, raid, etc. Please correct me if I am wrong. My perspective from Mexico, I'm sure is very different than if I were in the US or Europe, etc. Thanks, ed ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

RE: Opinion on using AMD Phenom II x6 1090t with Gigabyte 890BPA-UD3H and 8GB DDR-3 as a WebServer.
Of course it depends on your apps, but unless you're doing some HUGE number of connections, or your apps are "not good", this will be MORE than enough RAM and CPU. Yes, generally speaking "more" of something is always better, in fact our government seems to think more debt is better than less. However, if you're web apps only need xGB of RAM and y MIPS; what benefit is it to have n * x RAM and n * y MIPS? Maybe turn this into a virtual host and make some use of that hardware, or just be happy using it at 5% capacity.

I've been thinking about the virtual host idea and have some extra IP's so that might be fun. Traditionally when I renovate one may personal servers, I have them running at 5-20% capacity and within a year, I usually have figured out ways to put most all to use. The price difference between a minimal design and something like this usually not significant. So this is sounding more and more like a go.

It is my understanding surplus RAM will be allocated to file-caching. Whether this benefits your particular application set I would have no idea.

*fast* cgi , which as the name implies, is erm, fast ;)
See, only apache has PHP as a module.
Other web servers such as nginx or lighttpd use a fastcgi process.
This has several advantages:
- you'll no longer see apache exit with (quote) a "signal 11, core
dumped" because of lousy php code / errors.
- you can use different php config files for different vhosts
- php fcgi is faster
- you can use process accounting to check the processing time consumed
individually by your web server , and your PHP processes
- you will slightly reduce the size of your apache processes, since
they'll no longer load mod_php

Subject: Apache 2.2 + PHP5 + SuExec + (fast-cgi or mod_fcgid)
Hello Everyone,
I am researching how to run PHP as CGI with Apache's Suexec module. Up
to
this point we have been using PHP as an Apache mod, but are looking to
move
to the more secure solution.
I am not sure this is exactly the right list top post to so if anyone
knows
a better one please let me know :-)
I am using FreeBSD (8) as the OS, Apache 2.2, PHP5 with several
extensions
installed.
What I am looking for is to have PHP run as a CGI wrapped with suexec,
and
to have the fastcgi module, or, mod_fcgid. I have never set this up
before
so if anyone knows of a usefull 'how-to' that would be great. I have
been
reading through
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/freebsd-apache22-fastcgi-php-configuration/
and
it seems to have some good hints.
Of course, once we get this all figured out, I will post a complete step
by
set here.
TIA,
-Grant

I would guess so, however I have no experience with fcgi on apache, I
only run it with nginx and lighttpd servers.

Question about NIC link state initialization
I have a handful of systems running FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE. An occaisional fat-finger in /etc/fstab may cause one to end up in single-user mode from time to time. This would normally not be a problem, but some of these systems have a LOM (lights-out management) controller which shares the system's on-board NICs. This works great 99% of the time, but when the system drops out of init(8) and into single-user mode, the links on the interfaces never come up, and therefore the LOM becomes inaccessible. Cue remote-hands at the facility to help us remedy the problem. I've been playing around with this configuration on a local system, and I've noticed that once at a single-user shell, all one has to do is run ifconfig to cause the NIC's links to come up. You don't even have to specify the interface, nor do you have to specify "up". As soon as I hit enter, ifconfig prints the typical interface summary - intermingled in with this are the bold kernel log messages stating "bce0: link state changed to UP" and "bce1: link state changed to UP". So, my question is - why do we have to run ifconfig(8) to bring the links up on the attached interfaces? Shouldn't they come up after the driver discovers and initializes the devices? Keep in mind that I don't even have to pass any arguments (such as "up") to ifconfig. Furthermore, the behavior is exactly the same for bce(4) and em(4). Short of patching init(8) (or perhaps the NIC drivers?), I don't see another way for me to ensure the links come up even when the system drops into single-user mode on boot. - Steve ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Q2: Have you tried to start X without a config file? Q3: Do you have consolekit installed? "Xorg" puts it into 1400x1050 and the monitor accepts it. I can start a window manager and start an xterm window (from another terminal). But it does not listen to the keyboard or mouse. dbus seems to run ok, no errors observed. hald starts up but complains and dies: hald[61843]: 13:03:42.634 [E] ck-tracker.c:376: Error doing GetSeats on ConsoleKit: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit was not provided by any .service files hald[61843]: 13:03:42.634 [E] ck-tracker.c:820: Could not get seats and sessions hald[61843]: 13:03:42.634 [W] hald_dbus.c:5881: Could not initialize seats and sessions from ConsoleKit google found http://www.daemonforums.org/showthread.php?p=27601 which suggests using moused instead of hald. moused runs, but I think I have to get Xorg to use a config file to set Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off" Option "AutoAddDevices" "off" so that it will work without hald. Question 1: why does "Xorg -configure" create a config file that doesn't work the same way as just running "Xorg" ? Question 2: how do I get a usable config file? Question 3: how do I get complete modeline info for what it is currently running? Question 4: how do I force it to use a specific modeline? Question 5: how do I get hald to work? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org" ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

So this is sounding more and more like a go. Allow me a short addition: Gaming machines usually put no emphasize on energy efficiency. This means power consumption of several hundred Watts, up to more than 1000, is quite possible. Keep in mind that _running_ a machine also adds up to the price - see TCO. Especially CPUs and GPU are cost-intensive, but hard disks also seem to be. For use as a server, it's typical to assume that the machine will run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, as long as it fails. You can easily calculate those costs and put them into relation with older systems that "only" consume 150 Watts. :-) But aside, I agree with the suggestion of utilizing the "95% unused system capacity" for virtual hosts or other means.

PID 11 using 400% CPU
Hello All, I have a strange problem with my 8.1 box. After booting, the hard disk goes into a full-speed never-ending spin. 'ps waux' always shows pid 11 as taking 400% CPU utilization : /root # ps -up 11 USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TT STAT STARTED TIME COMMAND root11 400.0 0.0 032 ?? RL7:22PM 166:35.46 [idle] I have tried multiple tweaks to resolve this - all to no effect. The only thing that seems out of place is that polkitd seems to be missing. (I have no idea why this is the case). /etc/rc.conf states polkitd_enable="YES". This happens even in single-user mode, which I used to try to fix any filesystem errors with 'fsck -fy' : there were none. My system has only 2 partitions : ad8s2a (/) and ad8s2b (swap). Any pointers to what might the problem be ? Thanks in advance.

The problem is that you have twin dual-core CPUs or a single 4-core CPU.
The solution is to substitute a single single-core CPU.
This will bring the _system_idle_process_ utilization down to 100% when the
system is _not_ doing anything else.
OR, you can compile the following C program:
#include
int main( int argc, char** argv)
{
while (1);
exit(0);
}
and run, say, 8 copies of it in background. this will reduce the cpu
utilization of PID 11 to roughly 0%.
The fact that the disk is running is absolutely normal.

To see what disk I/O is being done, try running "ktrace -dip 0 ; sleep 10 ; ktrace -C", to capture all syscalls done on the entire system (pid 0 plus children) for 10 seconds, then run "kdump -m64 | less" to view the results.

RL7:22PM 166:35.46 [idle] >I have tried multiple tweaks to resolve this - all to no effect. The As for this, what's to resolve? The idle process is a placeholder with one thread per CPU that accounts for time the CPU isn't doing any work. If you want to reduce it's "CPU use", run other CPU-intensive processes :) BTW, Windows has the same thing if you look at task manager; it's called "System Idle Process" there. -- Dan Nelson dnel...@allantgroup.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Something in /root/.profile, perhaps?
