Re: Apache php weird problem
No, my httpd.conf file configured with AddType and LoadModule for php correctly, and I don't get source code in browser, I just get a blank page and a segmentation fault in error_log. I tried to browse index.php with lynx instead of firefox, lynx returned following error: Looking up 127.0.0.1 Making HTTP connection to 127.0.0.1 Sending HTTP request. HTTP request sent; waiting for response. Alert!: Unexpected network read error; connection aborted. Can't Access `http://127.0.0.1/index.php' Alert!: Unable to access document. lynx: Can't access startfile but lynx shows http://127.0.0.1/index.html without any error.

Re: Anyone working with netbeans 5.5?
I tried netbeans 5.5 and 6.0 on Gentoo and FreeBSD previously with no problem, So I guess it's a OPENBSD issue with netbeans, also searching in Google about "netbeans ouput font problem" only returns result with OpenBSD. I didn't try to reproduce problems on another machine but for me steps were like this: 1- using -current on i386 2- sudo pkg_add -v jdk-1.7.0.00b43p0 3- sudo pkg_add -v netbeans 4- create a java project on netbeans and edit and compile few times. But problems with netbeans seems to be growing, after few hours of working It's very slow and hangs when I try to delete files from project, also starting netbeans with my default project takes 3 to 5 minutes! (In loading Modules ... ) I guess I have to use eclipse.

OK! I didn't know this mailing list doesn't accept attachements, I don't have access to a web server at the moment for linking to screenshot image so forget about it, it's just bunch of squares in output window of netbeans, instead of error messages or warnings.

Anyone working with netbeans 5.5?
Hi misc, I'm running -current i386 with netbeans 5.5 and jdk 1.7 from packages, everything works fine except Netbeans output window, it shows some characters in square when I compile sources in output window, for example: << Copying 1 file to /home/mani/src/java/MXPAPI/build/web/WEB-INF/lib Copying 152 files to /home/mani/src/java/MXPAPI/build/web/WEB-INF/classes library-inclusion-in-manifest: Compiling 2 source files to /home/mani/src/java/MXPAPI/build/web/WEB-INF/classes Copied 1 empty directory to 1 empty directory under /home/mani/src/java/MXPAPI/build/web/WEB-INF/classes compile: compile-jsps: *-- And Squares here* >> And unfortunately they are most critical messages (for example errors), screenshot file attached.

Install math/cfitsio Port
Hi misc,
I am trying to make KDE4 from Ports on my OpenBSD 4.5 release box, but
I encountered Checksum mismatch error in /usr/ports/math/cfitsio:

Make sure the Makefile and checksum file (/usr/ports/math/cfitsio/distinfo)
are up to date. If you want to fetch a good copy of this

Multiboot OpenBSD with Vista
Hi, First of all you need to know I am running OpenBSD on my laptop and PC at home happily as sole OS, but unfortunately I need to dual boot my PC at Office because of some proprietary softwares we need at company, the other OS is Microsucks Windows Vista AFAIK one of the way of dual booting is to copy openbsd.pbr on Drive C of windows, but How can I make openbsd.pbr. and why I can not boot to OpenBSD using bootable cd ? boot > hd0a:/bsd not working for me. OpenBSD is on rwd0a - rwd0f and Vista is on rwd0g and rwd0h. If I go to shell on bootable cd and type: mount -t ffs /dev/wd0a /mnt I can mount wd0a wich is my root partition on /mnt and everythings seems ok. So what is the easiest solution to dual booting ?

KVM Switch HP Problem
Hi, I have a problem with KVM switch HP with OpenBSD 4.4, when I switch to my OpenBSD server there is no image and no message on the display. ( I guess it's out of range error ) Is it related to wscons configuration, should I change default screen emulator type or something like that? Thanks, Mani Malekmohammadi
Getting 4.5 from FTP
Hi, I just wanted to download OpenBSD 4.5 from one of FTP mirrors but according to Date modified field of files, I assumed the files are not latest released version of 4.5, for example at main ftp: ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/ pub/OpenBSD/4.5/amd64/ install45.iso file last modified date is 2/28/09 7:12:00 PM. Do I missing something obvious here cause according to announcement some FTP mirrors (including main ftp site) have latest version of 4.5. by the way I would happy to order OpenBSD CD,T-Shirts and support my beloved operating system but I am afraid I am living in Iran (No Credit Card!), If there is any other way to get OpenBSD CD's and T-Shirts please let me know! Thanks, Mani Malekmohammadi

Upgrade to -current
Currently I am using 4.2 stable and I am willing to upgrade to -current because of some new features which i need. According to faq (http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#Bld) I should first upgrade to closest binary, which means upgrade from 4.2 to 4.3 and then to 4.4 ( Latest snapshot ) and finally Fetch & build *-current. Above process as you know will be a highly time consuming process and I prefer stick to my current 4.2 rather than going through that. why not just Fetch & build -cuurent directly? what is your recommended approach for upgrading to -cuurent ? thanks, Mani *

OpenBSD 4.3 and later include the updated timezone data for Iran. Timezone database updates are usually not considered critical and therefore tend not to be merged to the maintenance branches. Meanwhile, 4.2 stopped being supported last fall; you should *strongly* consider updating to a newer version: OpenBSD 4.5 will be officially released in a matter of days. If you're comfortable with using cvs and building the OpenBSD source tree, you could just updated the /usr/src/share/zoneinfo/ directory to the trunk (using "cvs update -A" from within that directory) and then build and install the updated zone files: make cleandir && make && sudo make install Philip Guenther
DST Timezone problem
I am using 4.2-stable and apparently Daylight saving doesn't declared for /usr/share/zoneinfo/Iran Proper handling of DST can be checked by running "zdump -v -c /usr/share/zoneinfo/Iran". I'm sorry that our dumb government didn't applied DST for two years (2006,2007), they resumed to apply DST from 2008. So i guess that's the reason for "isdst=0" from 2006 to 2038 in this file. Corrected version should be: /usr/share/zoneinfo/Iran Mon Mar 21 20:30:00 2008 UTC = Tue Mar 22 01:00:00 2008 IRDT isdst=1 /usr/share/zoneinfo/Iran Wed Sep 21 19:29:59 2008 UTC = Wed Sep 21 23:59:59 2008 IRDT isdst=1 And so on for next years. Cheers, Mani.
Download Manager with Socks proxy support
Sorry if it's not related to OpenBSD, but I need to download some large files through socks proxy on my OpenBSD box, and wget doesn't support socks proxy ( I know about --with-socks option, but apparently it's no longer supported according to: http://www.mail-archive.com/w...@sunsite.dk/msg10824.html ) Do you know any download manager which supports socks proxy? Thanks, -- Mani
