Dell 400SC

2003-08-14 Thread Gregory Norman
Hello all,

I am considering buying a Dell 400SC to install FreeBSD 4.8-Stable useing it as a 
webserver and gateway. I notice that it is sold with a Red Hat configuration options. 
I was wondering if anyone here have installed FreeBSD on this machine. Any other 
thoughts/ideas about this machine as an entry level server would be appreciated.

Thanks

Gregory Norman

Installing PHP4 from ports fail

2003-08-02 Thread Gregory Norman
Hello all,

I am trying to install mysql323, apache13 and php4 on 4.4 Release. So 
far I have  successfully installed mysql and apache, with php it is a 
different story.

I have two issues. I have a question about apache, and I would like some 
help getting php installed on my machine.

I installed apache13-server. Will this installation allow me to use ssl?

When I try to install php the installation fail repeatedly at this point.

-Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib ../lib/libbison.a
Making all in doc
makeinfo --no-split   -I .  `test -f 'bison.texinfo' || echo 
'./'`bison.texinfo -o bison.info
bison.texinfo:37: Unknown command `copying'.
bison.texinfo:58: Unmatched [EMAIL PROTECTED]'.
bison.texinfo:93: Unknown command `insertcopying'.
makeinfo: Removing output file `bison.info' due to errors; use --force 
to preserve.
*** Error code 2

Stop in /usr/ports/devel/bison/work/bison-1.75/doc.

*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/devel/bison/work/bison-1.75.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/devel/bison.

After the installation failed I did the following:
 make clean  /usr/ports/lang/php4
cd /usr/ports/devel/bison
make clean
make
The bison installation fails repeatedly at the same place and with the 
same error messages as the php installation.

If someone could help me, offer any suggestions or pointers I would 
appreciate it.

Help upgrading 4.4 Release - 4.8 Stable

2003-07-12 Thread Gregory Norman
Hello

I'm trying to upgrade from 4.4 Release to 4.8 Stable. Everything goes 
well until I reboot after building and installing my custom kernel. This 
machine is a gateway, nat, ipfw. I will also install MySQL, Apache,  and 
PHP4 after upgrading.  Prior to upgrading everything worked fine.

When I reboot it hangs after:
ppi0: Parallel I/O on ppbus0
I have a copy of my previous kernel and can boot up using it.

Here is a snippet of the probe showing where it fails:
sio at port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa 0
sio1:type 16550a
ppc0:Parallel port at port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa0
ppc0: Generic chipset (NIBBLE-only) in COMPATIBLE mode
lpt0:Printer on ppbus 0
lpt0:Interrupt-driven por
ppi0:Parallel I/O on ppbus0 #it hangs here and fail.
It seem as though the probe fail while searching for dummynet. After 
ppi0:Parallel I/O on ppbus0 during a successful boot system probe shows
DUMMYNET initialized (xx)
IP packet filtering initialized, divert enabled, rule-based forwarding 
disabled,.

According to UPDATING there were changes made with dummynet, bridging 
and ipfw  between 4.4 Release and 4.8 Stable. I tried commenting 
dummynet and bridging in my custom kernel, rebuilding and installing the 
kernel with those changes. A 4.8 Stable boot still fail at the same 
place.

A kernel with ppi0Parallel I/O on ppbus0 disabled does not work  
either. I have not been able to find a solution by searching google, and 
FreeBSD.org either. I have reinstalled the entire OS, starting from a 
clean install of 4.4 Release, still no success.

Any help, suggestion, pointers, or ideas would be appreciated.

Re: cvsup tag for 4.8-STABLE?

2003-06-28 Thread Gregory Norman
Hello,

On the same note, will *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_8 work to 
update from 4.4 Release to 4.8 Stable?

Is this correct?
Either that or RELENG_4_8, where the latter only gets absolutely
critical fixes.
The cvsup went fine but building the src tree resulted in
errors.
First I got some from some multiply defined typedef (first make world).
You mean make buildworld?  If not, please try the recommended
procedure before asking for help.
Then I did a 'make includes' FWIW, and the subsequent make world then 
gave
a different error:

In file included from 
/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo/info/../../../../contrib/texinfo/info/terminal.
c:35:
/usr/include/termcap.h:42: ncurses_dll.h: No such file or directory
mkdep: compile failed
*** Error code 1

I could have a tainted installation with traces from 5.0R but I thought
that a cvsup would wipe them out in /usr/src and /usr/include as well.
In the former, only if you had adopted the source tree first (see
the cvsup faq).  In the latter, no, not necessarily.
Moving from 5.x to 4.x through a source upgrade is going to be a bit
tricky, even for experts.  Cleaning out the stuff that no longer
applies is definitely part of the problem.
