SUMMARY: running php in Apache

Thanks to all

The problem was that I used php and mysql binaries from Sunfreewares
while using out of the box version of Apache. They are all compile with
different settings and don't fit well together.
After getting help I now use php from Solaris companion cd and out of
the box version of php and mysql.

Thank you very much

Sincerely
Jorgen

SUMMARY: Help Needed with Solaris 10 (x86) ipfilter/ipnat

I wrote:

>I'm having trouble setting up Solaris 10 ipfilter and ipnat to function as a 
>firewall/router for my internal network. (The same physical box works perfectly 
>for this purpose when booted in RedHat Linux.)

Thanks to Peter.Ondruska <at> intese.cz, "Andy Harrison" <aharrison <at> gmail.com>, and 
Rich Teer <rich.teer <at> rite-group.com>

Peter pointed out I needed an ipf.conf rule for the internal interface, like 
this:

pass in quick on elxl0 from 192.168.252.0/255.255.255.0 to any keep state

I'd mistakenly thought ipfilter would pass such by default.

Rich referred me his article at http://www.rite-group.com/rich/solaris_nat.html 
which focuses on ipnat.conf, rather than ipf.conf

Andy reminded me to check the forwarding status of the interfaces:

ndd -get /dev/tcp ip_forwarding

I'd mentioned the new Solaris 10 'routeadm' utility, which lets you set this 
(and other related network stuff) up with a unified interface.

Oh!!! Who eat my /var slice ????

Hi all,

     I 'd like to share a strange problem with you:
     In the regular health check for my system, I found that the /var slice is full as the following:

  bash-2.03$ df -k
Filesystem            kbytes    used   avail capacity  Mounted on
/dev/vx/dsk/rootvol  1988887 1004553  924668    53%    /
/proc                      0       0       0     0%    /proc

  So, I tried to find the files which is larger than 5M bytes with the "find" command, below is the result:
  root <at> ddd> find var -size +5000000c -exec ls -lt {} \;

-rw-rw-r--   1 msp      msp      81690624 Oct 31 04:50 var/log/MYppg/wappush_billing_172.12.33.18.tld_1162344818313
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other    7429840 Nov  2 11:36 var/log/MYsyslog/msp.log
root <at> ddd> 

  Only 3 files which is larger than 5M bytes under the directory /var.

Thanks to the following Experts:

Richard Skelton, Daniel Jaime Rattey, femi bolaji, Christopher McNabb, Drew
Schatt, Fabio Andres Miranda, Paul Sagneri, Harvey Wamboldt, Joon Martin
Hansen, Christopher McNabb.

Sorry if I missed your name on my thank you list.

My Questions:

> I am totally new with Solaris. Please show me the

 > server to another server. Both servers are Solaris

 > 8. Thanks for your help.

Solution:

Most of you recommend to move the following files to new host

/etc/passwd
/etc/shadow
/etc/group

/home/*

Femi suggests to move the following files too. I am not sure about this.
Suggestion?

SUMMARY: vxconfigd hanging system on boot

Well, the problem is fixed. Turned out to be a wedged SAN switch. I had
spent about seven hours casually troubleshooting the problem, and tracked
it down to vxconfigd hanging on the second controller, which is indicative
of a bad path. Then after our power outage, we started to bring up
everything else in the data centre, and found that every other machine
attached to the same SAN switch got stuck at the same problem.

Rebooting the switch fixed everything.

Thanks all,
Colin

SUMMARY: SunFire X4200 configuration question

With the built in RAID controller when the machine is booting up hit the
Ctrl+C to  start the LSI Logic Configuration Utiltiy.

This link explains the different screens and how to configure the 
striping and mirroring.

http://docs.sun.com/source/819-1157-16/app-biosraid.html#pgfId-1003503

It was very simple to setup.

Dave Martini

Below is my original question

I have a new X4200 with 4 internal drives.
I haven't worked with this hardware before but it appears there is an
internal RAID controller that can be used to strip and mirror the
internal drives. I can't find any documentation on how to do this.

In the past I've used SUN's Disksuite to strip and mirror the internal
drives but if this has a hardware RAID controller I'd like to use that.

Has anyone done this on an X4200 before or can point me to some docs.

Thank you.

Summary: CPU problem?

Thanks to all who replied. It seemd obvious enough for most people who 
replied: the box had 2 CPUs and the user's code was single-threaded so 
that's why I only saw close to 50% CPU utilization.

Thanks a lot!

[SUMMARY] disk problem

Thanks to the following Experts :
john stoffel, Dana Sparling, Dana Hudes, Hal Huntley, Gregory Shaw, 
Thomas Payerle

The usual method for saving a disque is to use the format utility, with 
the read analyze command.
(http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/content/submitted/recover_sector_disk.html 
given by Thomas)
I tried that but that just don't work. The raison was pointed by john :
I've got an IDE drive and we can't re-map the bad blocks.

John gave me another good advice : there's a little soft, called 
dd_rescue, that can save most part of the hard drive.
Briefly, dd_rescue is like plain old *nix dd, except that it acts 
intelligently when it finds bad sectors. It reads the source with a big 
block size (fast!) while everything is OK and, when it hits an error, 
falls back to a small block size (slow) to try to get everything except 
for the bad block.
(source : http://blogs.sun.com/superpat/category/General)

Actually i didn't tried that yet.

I could mount the disk in read mode :
mount -o ro /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /mnt
And grabe the license files that i needed. I've got now a running 
license server, and i've got more time to play with dd_rescue.

Summary : Re: Crontab file gone

Thanks for all the responses.  The best method ( Thanks to Casper) was
to look in this directory:
