OpenSUSE, CentOS Or FreeBSD?
Dec 18, 2008
*NIX systems and am only used to FreeBSD so far. My other only very small and modest experience was with SuSE Enterprise Server (SLES 10). I love FreeBSD (sorry Linux fans) and am somewhat biased towards Linux in general. Although I know the majority of websites are probably hosted by Linux. I am going colo so OS choice is down to me.
However what bothers me even more than this is whether OS should be properly supported (like SLES, RHEL) or totally free (like OpenSUSE, CentOS or FreeBSD)?
What would you recommend as a stable OS for i386 platform and what would be your choice support-wise?

Gazzin.com offers so many OSs on their VPS deals - CentOS, Debian, Fedora Core 3, Fedora Core 4, Gentoo, Opensuse, Suse, Unbuntu. Which one would you advise me to start from?

We are basically looking for advice on which OS to choose. CentOS appeals as it is basically RHEL - and since people are paying for that they must be doing something right. It is apparently uber stable because the versions have been tested to death... but because the packages are so out of date, or just not there, we will need to install many things from source, which defeats the point to using it for its stability.
FreeBSD seems to have an awful lot of up to date packages, took a look at it on Distrowatch and was very impressed by many are the latest versions. This would make life so much easier because the package manager can handle installs and updates, really can't be bothered with messing around compiling software for install/updates.
In my mind, if an open source project as mature as the likes of Apache, PHP or MySQL, I am pretty sure you are very unlikely to experience problems by using the latest stable version. Surely by using older versions you are more likely to experience problems as of the result of bugs/security exploits that have only been fixed in the more recent releases.
Would you use FreeBSD or CentOS/RHEL? Or are both equally as good?

Setting up a storage and web server.
For transferring files from the storage to the web server, i was planning on streaming it over a private gigabit network line.
FreeBSD would be the best choice in terms of network thorouput correct?
Would FreeBSD also be a good choice for the web server as well? ( web + database on 15k scsi drives )
I've been reading a few posts on google about MySQL performance on FreeBSD but am not sure how well those results are substantiated - so I'm looking for a bottom line comparison between FreeBSD and CentOS in terms of network thoroughput and MySQL performance.

I tried to install php55 on opensuse 13.1 with plesk 12 running from an opensuse untested package
goal:
Install php55 for all domains/subscriptions, esspecially including zendoptimizer. Sicne its all WP, there is no need to configure php-version it for each domain. I actually dont even need several php-versions.
result:
- php-version shown: 5.5
- mysql extension missing in package - wordpress in my subscriptions couldnt connect to mysql-db
assumption:
- "bad" sw-package
- bad configuration
- my lack of knowledge esspecially about php/mysql
question(s):
- Is there a standard/recommended install for php5.5 on opensuse 13.1 and plesk12? I failed to google a fitting one
- I probably had the wrong package for php55 - compile myself or is there a recommended package?
- Should I go for php 7 (6) or go for php 55? (Why?)

We are running Plesk 12 (latest version) on openSuse 13.1. The web server is nginx as a proxy in front of Apache. We are running into a 502 Bad Gateway nginx error when trying to send data from a simple form to a php script.
The log shows: upstream prematurely closed connection while reading response header from upstream
It seems that Plesk does not configure nginx properly as some pages, especially pages that are accessed via https have broken headers. The headers of a page that is displaying
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request =>
Server => nginx

I know someone probably asked this question... I am looking for a VPS provider that offers unmanaged VPSes with FreeBSD + Cpanel, 512RAM guaranteed, ~250-300GB bw, and 10-15GB hdd, for a price of $40-55/mo.
Can anyone recommend a good VPS provider that meets the above requirements?

I haven't really messed with FreeBSD very much, but I'm picking up a FreeBSD server and needed to know of a good free firewall for it.
On my CentOS/Debian servers I use CSF and have had good luck with it, so I would like something like that if there is one out there.

I've been using FreeBSD for a while now, but I still feel like a novice when looking at top because I don't understand or know what all of the STATES mean. I know that many of them represent different kernal states and certain programs have their own unique STATES, but what do the usuals mean? man top only has 2-3 listed with very vague descriptions.
Does anyone here understand many of them? If so it would be greatly appreciated if you could write up a few of the basic ones.
select
nanslp
kserel
RUN
pause
lockf
kqread
sbwait
pipered
Those are the ones I currently see in top. I know there are probably thosands of others, but those are the ones I usally look at.

after many painstaking hours, im at a loss as to where to go now (finally managed to get up to the point of running phpize in the ffmpeg directory)
...
Originally I thought i had compiled it in when compiling PHP,
Infact:
Code:
'./configure' '--disable-debug' '--disable-rpath' '--with-bz2' '--with-curl' '--with-gd' '--with-openssl' '--with-png' '--with-zlib' '--with-mcrypt' '--with-mysql' '--with-pear' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-sockets' '--with-ffmpeg=yes' '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/sbin/apxs'
But when i go to the tests/ffmpeg_test.php file I get:
Code:
Warning: dl() [function.dl]: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/ffmpeg.so' - Cannot open "/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/ffmpeg.so" in /usr/local/www/apache22/data/tests/test_ffmpeg.php on line 17
Can't load extension /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/ffmpeg.so
I used the ports tree to install FFMPEG and here is the version info:
Code:
bsd# ffmpeg -v
ffmpeg version 0.4.9-pre1, build 4718, Copyright (c) 2000-2004 Fabrice Bellard
built on Mar 14 2007 20:42:22, gcc: 3.4.6 [FreeBSD] 20060305
After finally getting to this point, i say the heck with it and just decide to try and use phpize and compile it in that way as an extension ( following: http://ffmpeg-php.sourceforge.net/ ).
However, after I got phpize to work ( had to cp autoconf259 and autoheader259 to autoconf and autoheader since it was complaining about it ), it gave me this set of errors:
Code:

Stop in /usr/local/src/ffmpeg-php-0.5.0.
After I get all this working and install it on a another machine I plan on writing a guide for FreeBSD users inside the tutorials section - but this one part has stumped me.
The only thing I can think of is something along the lines of maybe i downloaded a 64 bit version of something along the way?
Should i continue along this route with phpize adding it as an extension, or does someone else have some information on that ffmpeg_test.php file?

i created a new cron job with "crontab -e" command by using the "root" user.
* * * * * php -f /path/file.php
i tried it for php -q too. while i type this command on the shell the php file works. there is no problem with crontab rule too. the chmod of file.php is 777, user root group wheel..
but it cant work. i couldnt understand why it aint.
i created a shell file and changed the cron like:
* * * * * /path/file.sh
and in file.sh:
#!/bin/sh
php -q /path/file.php
mkdir /path/anydir
so, /path/anydir have been created but file.php not executed. so the problem is not about cron rule.

I've been a web developer for some years now, and I've been working with PHP/MySQL in Linux quite a lot, but I've never worked with Linux. But now, I'm in a project where the last programmer was a FreeBSD-guru, but not so good in PHP/MySQL, so they hired me to take over. So the project is hosted on a dedicated FreeBSD-server, and I need to get all sftp-accounts and change them. How do I do that? I have root-access with PuTTY, and I know the basic commands, but I don't know where to start looking for account-settings. Is there anyone who knows how to do this?
