Re: Twiki problems - no such file or directory

[Da Rock]

Arrrgh! Apologies again.

After some much needed rest inspiration finally struck: quadruple check 
the perl path. I had checked it, but somehow missed it- triple check it! 
Not usually something you're likely to think of (especially in long 
hours) but perl will install at /usr/local/bin/perl in a jail (another 
difference I hadn't considered), and a link needs to be made outside the 
jail to /usr/bin/perl for it to work. Didn't help an atmail cookie was 
confusing matters greatly...


Pity you can't set a ENV for this kind of thing somehow...

I installed twiki on a test server to get a handle on how it operates, 
and it all worked fine so I installed it on the production server. The 
only difference between the 2 is that the production server uses vhosts.


When I try to run *any* of the twiki scripts (twiki/bin/view, 
twiki/bin/configure) I get "no such file or directory" in the httpd 
error logs.


I copied the twiki.conf from the test server (for ease of use - same 
config anyway. It was created from the twiki configuration helper on 
the twiki site), and tried uncommenting Includes at the bottom of the 
httpd.conf (sue me) and an include in the vhost section (not at the 
same time: to preclude any comment). Nada; just internal server error 
and the error in the log.


What could I be missing? When I installed it on the test server I had 
a directory directive in httpd.conf for twiki/ and an alias for that 
(I hadn't checked the docs at that time), and simply clicked configure 
on the index page and it all went well. I removed the directive, the 
alias, and uncommented the Includes at the bottom of the httpd.conf 
and I had a working twiki.


FWIW all vhosts are working normally, and other alias as well.

Any hints? A pointer to a url perhaps? Exhaustive google searches are 
showing up nothing relevant.

Twiki problems - no such file or directory

I'm sorry to have to bother the list with this, but I have spent 24 hrs

try to use pkg_add or you can install smplyer, smplayer for me is a
good tool to see videos or to listen music...

It appears that gam_server doesn't play nice with kill -HUP ( there are
6 processes running)
and also doesn't play nice with x-org/KDE as I can often
get a program hang/crash as the kernel bitches about too many open files
Kmail is particularly susceptible to this.

What actually initiates it as there appears to be no related entry
in either /etc/rc.d or /usr/local/etc/rc.d ?

Currently, it is a waste of space to me, and a cause of program
instability!


pkg_info -R gamin\* should lead you to an ICBM coordinates suitable for 
nuking and ridding yourself of the thing.  I had the opposite problem 
where I have production box on a desktop that wants to keep monitoring 
(we use nautilus) but gamin_server out of the box chews up a lot of 
processor time (the fix for this was kernel notification for my ufs and zfs)

As you know rsyslog works over udp and telnet is a tcp protocol so I 
enabled tcp on port 514 within rsyslog and telnet'ed from my router to 
the syslog server.


No problems!!! It works.

Also netstat -anp tcp/udp | grep 514 shows the server listening on the 
em0 interface with correct IP which isn't a problem additionally.

Have you tried with all firewalling on the machine turned off?

Yep! I don't actually run any rules on the firewall even though PF is 
enabled. it's just meant for fail2ban though.


However, disabled PF but still not working :-(

Hi Howard et al,

My  /etc/gamin/gaminrc contains this

fsset ufs none
fsset msdosfs none


and I still have 16564 files associated with gam_server in fstat out
of 17424 open files reported by sysctl kern.openfiles

It appears that gam_server doesn't play nice with kill -HUP ( there are
6 processes running)
and also doesn't play nice with x-org/KDE as I can often
get a program hang/crash as the kernel bitches about too many open files
Kmail is particularly susceptible to this.

What actually initiates it as there appears to be no related entry
in either /etc/rc.d or /usr/local/etc/rc.d ?

Currently, it is a waste of space to me, and a cause of program
instability!

Annoyed,
Murray T

Duplex mismatch?  Often causes problems where small packets go through
and large ones get silently dropped, or packets only get silently
dropped when the LAN is busy. The usual symptom is excessive
collisions (especially late collisions) logged on the device that's
set half-duplex, and no collisions logged on the device that's set
full duplex.

Thanks for that. I have tested rsyslog which is backwards compatible
with syslog but again something failed with that in order to write to
the created logfile???



We have absolutely no problems whatsoever with rsyslogd here.

It runs on our FreeBSD firewall boxes and logs both to local files and
a remote server running rsyslogd on debian.



Additionally and in reply to your need to track what happens on your
network, I very highly recommend Observium which we have been running
for over 18 months now and which I use on an almost daily basis.

http://www.observium.org/wiki/Main_Page

The icing on the cake is that you'll be able to export your logs to
Observium directly.

Thanks for the vote of confidence!

I have set syslogd to run on the loopback and rsyslogd to run on the 
local IP address.


Here is my config file for rsyslog:



$ModLoad immark.so   # provides --MARK-- message capability
$ModLoad imuxsock.so # provides support for local system logging
$ModLoad imklog.so   # kernel logging
$ModLoad imudp
$UDPServerAddress 192.168.1.120

According to the rule anything coming in from 192.168.1.1 should be 
logged to /var/log/cisco857.log


From rsyslog debug mode I was able to find that the rule was in place 
and should be performing properly:

Go into the BIOS and make sure the CD is first is the boot list. If it is, make 
sure another system can read and from from the CD. If all the above is true you 
may have a hardware issue.

Hello.

I do now know about the other persons, but I swear to NEVER EVER
buy an ACER product again

Their bios is buggy, (does not map pci devices...),
the dma is broken, the memory dumps core,  and
they do not care about the users

I bought a Lenovo with AMD vision (very cheap and good notebook)  and I
it works very well.



Check out the compatibility list: http://laptop.bsdgroup.de/**
freebsd/index.html 

I would be very surprised if you can not install FreeBSD 8.2. Xorg is
unfortunately another matter. If you can easily reinstall windows (I assume
you want to dual boot) you can try to install only FreeBSD and see if that
works. Windows 7 uses a different scheme that makes dual booting more of an
issue than it used to be. If you google that or have access to questions
archive there are instructions and/or experience on doing that. I use a
Dell 17" inspiron which works fine but Xorg does not yet support the video
or the wifi card (both Intel). What I did to get dual boot working does not
track with most of the other experiences with windows 7. I assume that is
Dell related.

I forget what the exact term is, but if you use the built-in partition
manager to split the disk and then make a restore disk set, you can easily
get back to that configuration. I found that installing 8.x at worst takes
away the MBR so that only FreeBSD will boot. Take the standard install,
accept the geometry, take the default slice definitions, the minimum
footprint, and no ports. That should take 10-15 mins or so. If the ethernet
card is supported use csup or freebsd-update to get to the 8.2_release.

I have no experience with FreeBSD 9.0 (has a new GUI install) or pcbsd.
Following the above should be straight forward unless the compatibility
tells you your hardware is not supported.

I hope this helps,

DougD

ape-project

[Paul Macdonald]

I've got a client wanting to use this.

http://www.ape-project.org/

its not in ports, and won't build even after some gentle caressing.

for reference, the easily solved issues were:
 bash path
 dep on zip,

but beyond this it's still failing.

Has anyone else got this working on BSD yet?

Hello.  

I do now know about the other persons, but I swear to NEVER EVER
buy an ACER product again 

Their bios is buggy, (does not map pci devices...),
the dma is broken, the memory dumps core,  and
they do not care about the users

I bought a Lenovo with AMD vision (very cheap and good notebook)  and I
it works very well.

Ouch.  That sounds like a logical cause.  Although the card itself has

We have absolutely no problems whatsoever with rsyslogd here.

It runs on our FreeBSD firewall boxes and logs both to local files and
a remote server running rsyslogd on debian.



Additionally and in reply to your need to track what happens on your
network, I very highly recommend Observium which we have been running
for over 18 months now and which I use on an almost daily basis.

http://www.observium.org/wiki/Main_Page

The icing on the cake is that you'll be able to export your logs to
Observium directly.

I saw nothing in BIOS to suggest any protection. I am doing the testing

I was attempting to force another look at /dev/da1 to see any change
not actually zero out anything.

I did a lot of my testing in single user but switched to multi so that
I could more easily cut and paste tests and results. Her are the
results as root:

[root@dell64] ~# gpart create -s mbr da1
da1 created

[root@dell64] ~# gpart add -t "\!11" da1
da1s1 added
[root@dell64] ~# gpart show da1
=>   32  60448  da1  MBR  (29M)
 32  604481  fat32  (29M)

Media=0xf0 SecPerTrack=32 Heads=64 HiddenSecs=0 FATsecs=59
RootCluster=2 FSInfo=1 Backup=2 

At this point I removed the card and using a different external card
reader placed it in the WinXP system. Windows said the card was not
formatted and asked. I attempted to format but windows failed saying
the card could not be formatted.

I put it back in FreeBSD system and here is what I see.

[root@dell64] ~# gpart show da1

I will spend some time today or tomorrow on the manufacturer's chat.

If I do give it up and it is OK with the owner I will contact you

Before giving up, a few more suggestions.  First, check the BIOS

boot block from viruses by making it read-only.  Second, sudo is not the 
same as being root, there are differences.  So I'd also suggest trying 
these as root, just in case.

That's odd.  da1s1 went away after being formatted.  Have these cards 
been heavily used to the point where they may be failing?


If the card is failing, I'd expect there to be something in 
/var/log/messages.  For that matter, even sysutils/smartmontools might 
work on these.



[robert@dell64] ~> fdisk /dev/da1


Something I noticed when testing yesterday: fdisk results may not agree 
with gpart until the card has been reconnected.  In particular fdisk 
showed the single FAT32 partition as the last instead of the first.



*** Working on device /dev/da1 ***
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:

gpart won't destroy a GEOM unless it's unused.  So either delete all the 
partitions first, or use 'gpart destroy -F'.


Interesting that here the partition still exists, though.

This didn't write anything (0+0 records).  Should be
  dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da1 bs=512 count=35

count=35 to make sure MBR/disklabel or primary GPT are wiped out.


It acts like there is some sort of write protect on sector 1


This is what made me think of a BIOS virus-protect mentioned above. 
Hopefully that's the problem.

It's worth contacting the manufacturer.  Maybe they have a reset or 
reformat program.  If you do get to the point of discarding the cards, 
I'd be interested in experimenting on them.

I wish I knew :-). I was doing everything that you and Julian suggested
and somewhere along the line it started showing 16G. Yesterday I got it
to show FAT32 (tyoe 12) along with 16G but on da1 without a s1. I then
put it in a WinXP box but it did not even bring up the drive. When I
put it back in the FreeBSD box it was back to 28MB. This is the card
that I show above.

It acts like there is some sort of write protect on sector 1 or the
cards are defective.

diagnosing packetloss: x-files edition

[Kees Jan Koster]

Guys,

The packet loss I asked about earlier is getting weirder and weirder. I managed 
to track this down to being between two specific hosts exclusively.

When I run mtr from saffron to cumin I get packet loss reported on all 
intermediate routers. When I run mtr from cumin to saffron I get packet loss 
reported only on the end hop to saffron. 

But (and here it gets weird) when I run mtr from saffron to any other host on 
the Internet (although I have not tried exhaustively) I get *no* packet loss at 
all.

So what I expect now is that this is a hardware issue with the NIC in Saffron 
that only affects the traffic going to cumin and not traffic to any other host.

I will swap the NIC in saffron, but I just wanted to check:

* can this be caused by the fact that I use fwd rules in ipfw? Both Saffron and 
Cumin have such  rule.
* Can this be caused by IP aliassing? With Saffron and cumin use two IP 
addresses on their NIC.
* Anything else?

Alternative to syslogd that actually writes external logs to files?

[Kaya Saman]

Hi,

I would like to know if there's a syslog alternative out there that will 
actually write my network equipments' logs to files.


After having major issues with syslogd and attempting a thorough debug 
of which I posted to this mailing list and wasn't able to fix even with 
more experienced peoples help I am now looking for an alternative!



My issue with syslogd was the fact that the logging information would be 
sent to my system and that could evidently be seen, however, the 
software didn't write to the log file specified for whatever reason :-(



During debug I started syslogd using the -d and -vv options, checked the 
log file in question was created and had correct permission. Everything 
seemed fine but nothing even tried to write to file.



Basically I am looking for just something that will write all my 
external logs to file and can keep syslogd for the system specific logs 
as that's no problem.



Since at the time I was using FreeBSD 8.0 CURRENT x64, I upgraded to 8.2 
on the basis that my system and hence ports collection was out-of-date; 
but unfortunately the update didn't solve my issues regarding syslog. - 
which is way odd considering I had FreeBSD 8.1 or 8.2 x86 edition 
running on an old (now packed-up) PIV which did my logging without any 
issues. - The current setup is the same except for the fact that am 
running Jails and am on a 64bit platform.



Can anybody suggest anything?


Thanks!

The new CAM(4) is not just for SCSI devices (and SCSI, as it is
usually used now, does not deal only with the old parallel SCSI
devices). Despite the fact that most CD and DVD drives will now appear
as cdX devices, and cd(4) is full of references to SCSI, most CD and
DVD drives should be supported.  And while burncd(8) will not work
with the new interface, other software in ports should -- for example,
sysutils/cdrtools and sysutils/cdrtools-devel, as was mentioned
before.

Now I see it's "options ATA_CAM" or "device atapicam".  It looks like I
inadvertently transposed "device" and "options" in subject line.

Now I think I'll try to rebuild the kernel with "options ATA_CAM" and drop
"device atapicam".

This question needs to be better resolved in time for FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE.

I cross-post this message to freebsd-curr...@freebsd.org so the developers
will see it.  FreeBSD users want to be able to burn CDs and DVDs, and since
SCSI hardware has fallen out of style, I can say very few if any FreeBSD 9.0 
users will have an actual SCSI CD or DVD drive.

Can't install freebsd/pcbsd

[Andreas Junius]

Hi all,

I'm trying to install freebsd on a notebook for quite some time. It is an
Acer Aspire 9302AWMSi with a
AMD Turion 64 Mobile CPU.
I tried freebsd 8.2, pcbsd 8.2 and pcbsd 9.0 .

Unfortunately the installation routine gets trapped in some kind of endless
loop. Version 8.2 starts up and restarts again as soon the kernel gets
loaded. With version 9.0 I come to a menu and when I select any of the
choices, the computer restarts again. Any advice what I could do? Or is it
simply impossible to install freebsd on this kind of notebook?

Cheers,
Andy
