It is just as stable for me as msql was and has many more features as well as being a big performance improvement. So at the moment mysql is the best thing available. ODBC connectivity is a massive plus. I've got a client developing a website using mysql/php and a delphi application to maintain the database. Further the company behind it have a couple of guys working on it so development is rapid. I think David Hughes (msql) has other things to do now so msql MAY not be developed anymore, I haven't heard much from the msql mailing list recently anyway. regards damian -- * Damian Hamill M.D. damian@cablenet.net * CableNet & The Landscape Channel * http://www.cablenet.net/ http://www.landscapetv.com/ From owner-freebsd-isp Mon Sep 29 14:54:57 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id OAA13087 for isp-outgoing; Mon, 29 Sep 1997 14:54:57 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mole (mole.slip.net [207.171.193.16]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id OAA13077 for ; Mon, 29 Sep 1997 14:54:49 -0700 (PDT) Received: from slip-3 [207.171.193.17] (dnelson) by mole with smtp (Exim 1.62 #4) id 0xFnmA-0006EW-00; Mon, 29 Sep 1997 14:54:46 -0700 Date: Mon, 29 Sep 1997 14:54:45 -0700 (PDT) From: Dru Nelson X-Sender: dnelson@slip-3 Reply-To: Dru Nelson To: isp@freefall.freebsd.org Subject: Re: Rackmounted server chassis...

It's very stable and fast. I haven't tried ODBC or JDBC, but it should be there somewhere. Check the (somewhat outdated) homepage.

Can't help here, sorry. The 'cy' driver is a fairly nasty cross of the 'sio' driver (for understandable reasons), but the BREAK code is specifically commented out. It's possible that BREAK is not well handled by the cd1400 UARTs. > What > exactly does "serial consoles" mean in this context?

It almost certainly means that you can't have the BSD box use one of the cy ports as a console.

I've got the same problem: I need stable database engine for some ISP tasks (guestbooks, logging and so on :). I tried MySQL (FreeBSD 2.2.2, MySQL 3.20.27-3.20.30), and found that MySQL is not stable enough for me. The matter is that MySQL hangs for a time with a serious load. The simple perl script with a "connect,select,update,disconnect" sequence is a good test: 10-15 looped scripts make MySQL to ignore connections for a time. If anyone has any suggestions, I'll be happy :) When I tried to repeat that on a Linux box, I didn't. So, I guess, all it's only becouse I'm a newbie in FreeBSD and still don't know some woodoo tricks :) Seriously, I'll be glad to read comparisions between freeware databases, like msql, mysql, postgresql and any-I-didn't-hear-about.

How about trying, 1. ifconfig -a 2. netstat -i Both above displays statistics of interfaces including that of the ppp interface.

Well for this one, I can suggest using ipfw with the approriate rules to match the ports, source, and destination of each packet that passes by the server. > - by the way, I don't suppose you know how to re-set the netstat > counters by any chance ? I know there is a way to do this but I cannot seem to remember it now :-) My suggestion is, maybe, these counters can be reset using a command "sysctl" which can manipulate kernel variables that I hope includes the interface counters. However, I do know that in ipfw, you could reset the counters for which again I am not sure wether counters for each rule or all the rules would be zeroed out once a reset is issued. I hope this helps. -- rick From owner-freebsd-isp Fri Oct 3 00:19:25 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id AAA26404 for isp-outgoing; Fri, 3 Oct 1997 00:19:25 -0700 (PDT) Received: from kalkoen.sateh.com (kalkoen.sateh.com [194.151.25.30]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id AAA26399 for ; Fri, 3 Oct 1997 00:19:21 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from stefan@localhost) by kalkoen.sateh.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) id JAA04390; Fri, 3 Oct 1997 09:20:37 +0200 (CEST) Message-ID: <19971003092036.23335@kalkoen.sateh.com> Date: Fri, 3 Oct 1997 09:20:36 +0200 From: Stefan Arentz To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Databases References: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.84 In-Reply-To: ; from Alexey V.

The error message says the following: Oct 4 17:56:58 black-beast named[8649]: startxfr(somename.com.br -> [10.1.255.10].3901) failing; pipe: Too many open files A pstat -T reveals: root@black-beast:~>pstat -T 511/8232 files 7128 vnodes 60M/139M swap space Now, my question is when is it saying too many open files? The error only seems to be comming from named. Does named have too many files open, and why would it? Thanks in advance!

The error only >seems to be comming from named. Does named have too many files open, and >why would it? this is probably a result of the fact that named is opening a file for every IP you are virtually hosting. This is remedied by telling named to "listen on" only the localhost and the registered dns port.. ie if your using bind 8.* use the following command in your named.conf options { directory "/etc/namedb"; listen-on {127.0.0.1;207.176.196.2;}; }; note: 207.176.196.2 is the regsterd ip for my dns server with the nic.

I am trying to get a Cisco 3640 to work for ISDN decicated and dialup users. Currently I have a Descend Max 4002. For the dedicated users I need to dial out if there is traffic and the line is not up. I also need to route subnets to them. On the other side I have dialup users with dynamic PPP. Has anyone a simular config ? Can anyone maybe provide me some example Cisco IOS config and a sample radius users file ? Thanks, Ulf. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Ulf Zimmermann, 1525 Pacific Ave., Alameda, CA-94501, #: 510-769-2936 Alameda Networks, Inc. | http://www.Alameda.net | Fax#: 510-521-5073 From owner-freebsd-isp Sat Oct 4 22:46:29 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id WAA27022 for isp-outgoing; Sat, 4 Oct 1997 22:46:29 -0700 (PDT) Received: from falco.kuci.uci.edu (falco.kuci.uci.edu [128.195.131.10]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id WAA27017 for ; Sat, 4 Oct 1997 22:46:27 -0700 (PDT) Received: (qmail 20471 invoked by uid 1064); 5 Oct 1997 05:48:32 -0000 Date: Sat, 4 Oct 1997 22:48:32 -0700 (PDT) From: Khanh Nguyen X-Sender: nguyenpk@falco.kuci.uci.edu To: Zach Heilig cc: isp@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Odd Problem...
