    php55 and Pear: Pear install failing

    I'm in the process of upgrading from lang/php5 (which has PHP 5.4) to lang/php55. I uninstalled all PHP ports, then installed lang/php55 (and my extensions). It all worked fine until I got to databases/pear-DB. It requires devel/pear, which fails to install. This is running on 9.1-RELEASE-p3...

    PF Trying to Start Before DHCP

    Oops. I checked it twice to make sure. I guess my eyes were playing tricks on me. Sorry for the formatting :-P EDIT: Ah ha! They weren't playing tricks on me :-P

    PF Trying to Start Before DHCP

    DHCPSYNC gave me an error: /etc/rc.conf: ifconfig_em0="DHCPSYNC" /var/log/messages: kernel: ifconfig: DHCPSYNC: bad value I looked through /etc/defaults/rc.conf and found synchronous_dhclient. So I put that in my /etc/rc.conf and set it to "YES" and everything worked! Thanks! EDIT For any...

    PF Trying to Start Before DHCP

    Hey, I have a FreeBSD box running as a router/gateway on my LAN. It gets its external IP from my ISP using DHCP. I use PF for my firewalling and routing setup. When the system reboots, PF tries to start before DHCP gets a IP address. So PF fails to start with various errors. So my routing...

    Setting Resource Limits - login.conf

    I'm setting up a general-purpose server on FreeBSD 9.0. It's going to be used for web, database, gateway, irc, and various other things I'd like to play with. I'm trying to set up the user resource limits in /etc/login.conf. Obviously for specific classes like for the database, web server, or...

    IRC Servers

    I know this thread is a bit old, but I'd like to mention InspIRCd. I previously used UnrealIRCd. However, about a year or so ago, I decided to switch to InspIRCd, and I have been extremely happy with it. I wont go into detail, so you can read and decide yourself: http://www.inspircd.org

    Backing Up Between Servers: Techniques

    Hey, I have two servers. They each have backup scrips run daily via a cronjob. I'd like to have each server store the others backup (Eg, ServerA stores ServerB's backup, and ServerB stores ServerA's backup). I'm not sure on how to get started, as I've never used rsync or even ran any type of...

    thttpd and pf

    I normally use both. I always figured that by using both the user and the port, it prevents things like the following from happening: The www user is somehow compromised. Then, because you didn't specific the port in the firewall, the compromised www user can run a program to listen on another...

    memcached-1.4.1 is marked as broken: does not link?

    Unfortunately, I'm using i386. The Xeons I use are old and don't support 64-bit.

    memcached-1.4.1 is marked as broken: does not link?

    Is there any update on this? I tried searching for a PR, but I couldn't find anything? I've been having my memcached functions return FALSE for everything, which is really causing some issues with my application. I was wondering if this is a work in progress, or if we're waiting for input from...

    Crashing Server - Temp/Voltage Monitoring

    I have a 7.1-RELEASE-p3 server running in a remote data center. I've had problems starting about 3 days ago in which the server is randomly rebooting (about once per day). Nothing shows up in /var/log/messages about the problem (only the normal boot-up messages). The `last` command does show...

    vsFTPd: chroot and symlinks

    I read the manpage and it seemed like it would work, however, I'm getting the following error: I'm not using any odd filesystem setups, but I am running a custom kernel. Maybe the lack of a kernel option is causing the error? Anyway, here's the output of 'mount', in case it helps: Thanks a...

    vsFTPd: chroot and symlinks

    Hey. I've recently found out that when vsFTPd is set to chroot users, symlinks that point to outside the users home dir don't work. For example, a symlink in /home/user/backups, which points to /code/backups, does not work. As in, vsFTPd will give a "permission denied" when trying to follow the...

    Which FTP server software do you use?

    vsFTPd. I used PureFTPd a while ago on linux. But then I discovered vsFTPd, and it's been great to me.

    Setting Up Cacti On FreeBSD 7.0

    Is this what you're talking about? http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/6886/graphimageec1.png I added a few extra spaces in front of "Inbound", hoping it would align everything properly, but it didn't. I'm using RRDTool v1.3.3 from the ports system. Anyone know of a fix for that? Other than...

    extreme newbie needs some help

    Don't download all 3 install ISOs...just get the "Boot Only", which will install the base system. From there, you can update your ports tree and install whatever software you want. The ports tree on the CD(s) are probably old anyway.

    Protecting HTTPd via PF

    Hey, I've been playing around with my pf/altq rules lately. I have a question about the max-src-conn and max-src-conn-rate for a HTTP server (apache2, if it matters :-P). There's the related code: pass in on $ext_if inet proto tcp from any to $ip3 port 80 user root flags S/SA synproxy state...

    Setting Up Cacti On FreeBSD 7.0

    I agree, something like that would be extremely helpful. Maybe a quick guide on how to setup some basic graphs and options, like memory usage, server load, stuff like that. Thanks a lot for the guide! Also: Any more info on that? I quickly read up about it, and it definitely seems like it...

    Hey everyone, I've been using FreeBSD for about 2 years now, and I've loved every minute of it. I've been discovering new programs/tools almost every week that do something that just make me think "damn, that was cool!" I was thinking it would be helpful to newcomers, as well as users like...
