Hi! I'm trying to use freebsd-update for first time. I have 9.0-RELEASE installed without sources and I have read Handbook chapter and manual page for freebsd-update. "freebsd-update -r 9.1-RC3 upgrade" downloaded updates, its "install" command installed kernel and after reboot second "install" invocation installed binaries but not source tree that is needed to

Hello :-) I want to test new "pkg" tool, but it complains that there is no repo.txz file on the repository: # pkg install libreoffice Updating repository catalogue pkg: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9-stable/All//repo.txz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) I have set PACKAGESITE to packages-9-stable repository :-) Will this support stable

Hi all, I am trying to use puppet (2.7.18) for downgrading varnish cache on Centos Linux (6.3). Unfortunately there are two varnish RPMs (which seem to have circular dependencies): varnish-3.0.4-1.el6.x86_64 varnish-libs-3.0.4-1.el6.x86_64 When using "ensure" for downgrading I get a bunch of errors: err: /Stage[main]/Varnish/Package[varnish-libs]/ensure: change from 3.0.4-1.el6

Hey all, I'm trying to do a find of all files with the phrase 'varnish' in the name, but want to exclude a user home directory called /usr/local/digitalplatform. Here's what I was able to come up with: find / -path '/usr/local/digitalplatform/*' -prune -o -name "*varnish*" Which results in this: [root at uszmpwsls014lb ~]# find / -path

Hello Anyons has tested this configuration with success ? I'll test it in few days and I am wondering if I am alone :-) Thanks

Hi, I use a module (for Varnish in this case) which has the typical install, service, package classes. -- modules/varnish/manifests/install.pp: class varnish::install { package { $varnish::params::package_name: ensure => installed, } } -- modules/project/manifests/proxy.pp class project::proxy { include varnish } -- manifests/site.pp node proxy {

Hi All, I started a 501c3 (not-for-profit) organization back in February 2011 to deal with information archival. A long vision here, I wont bore you with the details (if you really want to know, e-mail me privately) but the gist is I need to build an infrastructure to accommodate about 2PB of data that is database stuff, stored video, crawl data, static data sets, etc. Right now in my testing of

Hello, I have specialized linux installation which uses ISOLinux bootloader. Recently isolinux version has changed from 4.05 to 5.10. From that time there is a problem with VirtualBox VM, It crashes (guru meditation) on attempt to boot from HDD or hangs on installation from CD. Strange part is, the very same ISO on ESXi VM works like a charm. Also burned on CD and started on "real"

We are currently using cvs for both source and ports. I have begun changing to portsnap for ports, and I would also like to try changing at least some of our servers to freebsd-update. But all servers have been patched, using either RELENG_8_3 or RELENG_9_0 as cvs tag. I need to revert them to their respective RELEASE to be able to use freebsd-update. Complete reinstall from eg CD is not an

Hi list! We tested mod_antiloris 0.4 and found it quite efficient, but before putting it in production, we would like to hear some feedback from freebsd users. We are using Apache 2.2.x on Freebsd 6.2 and 7.2. Is anyone using it? Do you have any other way to patch against Slowloris other than putting a proxy in front or using the HTTP accept filter? Thanks for your feedback, Martin

Greetings! I''d appreciate hearing from anybody who''s had experience with any of this.

Hi, I want to be certain that my apache and varnish logfiles are in strict date order when rotated. I'd like to run a sort command against them before they're compressed. I've had a look at the logrotate man page, and it looks like I can use a postrotate/endscript to do this. However, I can see any reference in the documentation for how to operate on the file. All the examples

Hey - I need your input regarding a problem I''ve come across. I''ll first explain what the problem is, and what I think the solution is. If I misunderstood how things work, please let me know. # The problem I''m using Dragonfly (on-the-fly file processing) to serve images. Dragonfly uses Rack::Cache to cache the processed images so subsequent requests are served by

Hi, I am taking my first steps towards virtualization. I have 3 Gateway Servers; all on CentOS 5.3 (non-graphical mode) + Squid. We have 3 separate teams each of 5-7 users who use 1 ISP each via their own Gateway server. I am keen to use virtualization and consolidate all 3 servers on a single server.

I am not sure if this desired feature or not but when we are behind a local proxy ie. Nginx/Varnish then the new ShowException middleware doesn''t seem to properly detect the remote IP address and it appears as if every browser gets a local error page with a stack trace, etc. I''ve opened up a ticket on the rails bug tracker but I also would like to verify that this is in fact a
