How to fix those errors /var/log/messages

Hi
After almost fresh installation I found that I have some errors, Apache wont start, some avahi-daemon warning, and others

my rc.d has

Code:

moused_enable="NO"
moused_type="auto"
sshd_enable="YES"
apache22_enable="YES"
mysql_enable="YES"

#syslogd_enable="NO"
#syslog_ng_enable="YES"

hald_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"

gnome_enable="YES"
natd_enable="YES"

If you can show me some clue, what can cause that problems, I'll appreciated it.
Thanks

This is a warning and not an error, this is actually a programming fault and not a configuration fault. Ignore it.

This is a warning, not an error (Meaning the program will continue). What the warning means should be self-explanatory.
Here is some info: http://www.daemonforums.org/showthread.php?p=4395
google also seems to offer some information:
http://www.google.com/search?client=...utf-8&oe=utf-8

The rest of the errors in the logfile you posted are from pulseaudio, to be honest, I know nothing about it, but it shoudn't prevent Gnome from working. And it has even less to do with Apache. Actually, none of these errors have anything to do with apache.
Maybe the Apache error log has some info on that? IIRC it should be /var/log/httpd/error.log

The results of this search is:

Gnome is working so far ok, I am wonder if apache22 has some issue with hostname, I have

Code:

/etc/hosts
....
127.0.0.1               localhost hostname.inside

and

Code:

/usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf
....
ServerName hostname.inside

and I am thinking that can be cause by

Code:

hostname avahi-daemon[1286]: WARNING: No NSS support for mDNS detected, consider installing nss-mdns!

but looking through many forums and posts I cant find solution how to get rid of that WARNING

even I do start and stop Avahi-daemon I have

Code:

hostname # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/avahi-daemon stop
Stopping avahi-daemon.
hostname # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/avahi-daemon start
Starting avahi-daemon.
hostname #

and in messages logs

Code:

avahi-dnsconfd[1291]: read(): EOF
avahi-daemon[25933]: WARNING: No NSS support for mDNS detected, consider installing nss-mdns!

Try commenting out mod_unique_id in your httpd.conf, I can remember having problems with that and your logs certainly seem to indicate the same problems.

There is also the problem of the timezone not being set in your php.ini, for reasons not completely clear to me PHP 5.3 seems to require this.

You can set it with:

Code:

[Date]
; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
date.timezone = UTC

Be sure to change UTC to your timezone!

Well, the suggestion in this warning is installing nss-mdns. A search of the port tree reveals ... dns/nss_mdns. This certainly seems a good place to start

I'm fairly sure it's not the problem with Apache though.

I solve apache22 error
I has to type the same hostname name in /etc/hosts and /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf file
I has hostname="hostname" in /etc/hosts and it should be the same in every file "hostname.inside" - I just forgot .inside -> should be full domain name, not only hostname,

but still

Code:

Jun 15 00:10:33 hostname avahi-daemon[1286]: WARNING: No NSS support for mDNS detected, consider installing nss-mdns!

And I have installed /usr/ports/dns/nss_mdns/
after installation using # make install clean
I checking it

Code:

# pkg_info | grep 'nss_mdns'
nss_mdns-0.10_1     NSS module implementing multicast DNS name resolution

So no idea how to get rid of that warning.

Those few last warning from Gnome,

Code:

gnome-session[1527]: WARNING: Could not launch application 'at-spi-registryd-wrapper.desktop':

Code:

gdm-simple-greeter[1543]: Gtk-WARNING: gtkwidget.c:5628: widget not within a GtkWindow

Code:

gnome-keyring-daemon[1569]: couldn't allocate secure memory to keep passwords and or keys from being

Code:

pulseaudio[1609]: module.c: module-detect is deprecated: Please use module-udev-detect instead of modu$
pulseaudio[1609]: module-detect.c: failed to detect any sound hardware.

no idea either so far still looking.
I will keep you posted maybe someone has similar warning

I just upgraded to Gnome 2.30.1 and while Gnome 2.30.1 seems to work fine and perhaps better than 2.28.1, I too get these in /var/log/messages at startup:

Code:

gnome-session[1561]: WARNING: Could not launch application 'at-spi-registryd-wrapper.desktop': Unable to start application: Failed to execute 
child process "${exec_prefix}/libexec/at-spi-registryd" (No such file or directory)

gdm-simple-greeter[1579]: Bonobo-WARNING: Bonobo must be initialized before use
gdm-simple-greeter[1579]: Gtk-WARNING: gtkwidget.c:5628: widget not within a GtkWindow

Both at-spi-registryd-wrapper.desktop and at-spi-registryd exist where they are supposed to be. My system is AMD64 8.0-RELEASE. I have searched the forums for Bonobo but I cannot find anything relevant. Maybe this is just specific to me. Any help appreciated. I hope my two cents is worth something here.
