IWS6.0SP2 Question: CGI chroot on Solaris 8

Dear all,
I follow the Programmer's Guide (Chapter 1) to setup the Chroot directory (say, /mychroot/) for my existing CGI programs. It works fine, but I wonder why I don't need to update the CGI directory setting (the directory to chdir to after chroot but before execution). Its original value before the chroot setup is /mychroot/mycgi-bin (absolute path); after the chroot setup, I think I need to change it to "/mycgi-bin"; its absolute path after chroot should become /mycgi-bin instead, right?!
However, the web server could not find the cgi programs after this update. Once I fall back the CGI directory settings and applied the configuration again, it works again!
What's wrong with me?!
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.
Desmond

The webserver starts the cgi program and knows the real location. The cgi is that only program that sees the new chroot location. So the web server calls the cgi from the location as it knows it (the real location) and the cgi must call anything is runs from the new chrooted location.
It gets to be even more fun when the webserver is chrooted as well.

How to define initialization parameters in iWS6.0sp2

I need to define an initialization parameter in iWS6.0sp2, this parameter will be used by all my servlets in an web application.
parameter name: paraName
parameter value should be a string: "c:/xxx/xxx/xx"
I want to get this parameter in my servlet using :
getInitParameter("paraName")
it looks like I need to define it in the web-apps.xml, but not sure.
Can somebody tell me where and how to define it. Thanks in advance.
John

Hi,
You can define initargs in servlets.properties file and refer that from web-apps.xml.

Solaris 8 on chroot in Solaris 10

I've copied all nessesary Sol8 system files to machine with Sol10. After executing "chroot /home/chroot/sol8 /bin/bash" almost everything is OK except running programs which need the "libthread.so.1" library (for example java). These programs cause error: "_sys_thread_create() failed, errno = 22".

Can anyone explain me what the "errno=22" mean ?
Best regards.

We a lot of machines with Solaris 8 at our customer which cannot be upgraded in near future (for some security reasons). I've decided to install Solaris 10 on our development server (V480) but we have to produce binaries (aplications and libraries) which will be running in "clean" Sol8 environment.
The best solution would be to prepare Sol8 temporary environment on our server till then the customer will upgrade own machines to Sol10.
In reference to "Dynamic System Domains" option:
We are using[b] Sun-Fire V480 server not Sunfire 6800 - is that option applicable to such servers (V480) ???

Big question about dns in solaris 10

hi,
in solaris 10 dns[client] is working fine even though the service is in disabled state.
bash-3.00# svcs -a | grep dns
disabled Oct_07 svc:/network/dns/server:default
disabled 20:13:50 svc:/network/dns/client:default
bash-3.00#
still i can able to resolve the ip address.
*my question is will this affect anything.. like autofs [net/<machine name>] concept.*
Thanks.

In short, no. Hostname resolution is guided by the /etc/nsswitch.conf file, and the /etc/resolv.conf file tells the resolver which DNS servers to contact.
The network/dns/client service is actually part of the DNS server. If you start the DNS service with "svcadm enable network/dns/server", then the client service will start also (try it yourself).

Stupid question - What platforms does Solaris x86 run on?

Hello,
I am a longtime Solaris for sparc user. Could someone please direct me to information about what platforms/processors Solaris for x86 runs on? Are there dual-bootable Windows/Solaris systems or something? What about laptops? I will start searching myself for info, but if anyone knows of a great strehouse of info on this matter, I would appreciate it.
Thanks!

solaris: get it free
http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/get.jsp
What platforms does Solaris x86 run on? not such a stupid question if one is to inquire, does it run on intel conroe chips, yonah? are both chips recognized, does it run at 64 bit on conroe? has anyone got it going on mac? how about the 4 proc intel chips released. any one tried this and last but not least xen virtualistion with new built in amd/intel virtualization technology...

10g Data Guard Install Questions... Solaris 9

Firstly, I've done several Failsafe installes on Wintel platforms, but I'm having a tough time getting started installing Dataguard on Solaris. According to the manual:
Oracle® Data Guard Broker
10g Release 1 (10.1)
Part Number B10822-01
"The Oracle Data Guard graphical user interface (GUI), which you can use to manage broker configurations, is installed with the Oracle Enterprise Manager software."
I don't see any link or otherwise access to Data Guard via the 10g Enterprise Manager. Is there something that I missed during install that will allow me access Data Guard GUI?
I'm stuck

ZFS Configuration Question - Also posted in Solaris x86

Hello,
I have 2 x 140GB (hw Raid-0 + spare). About 20GB is allocated to Solaris on UFS (standard installation and partitions/slices).
I would like to allocate the 120GB left on the disk drive to ZFS. That space is not unallocated to any file system for now.
I found a lot of documentation of how to create a ZFS Pool on an empty disk drive. The documentation is less clear on how to do it on a drive already use by another FS.
Any help will be appreciated.
Michel

Darren,
I just setup another Solaris x86 server tonight to play with. That future production server is in it's own vlan wtih no Internet access for now.
The test server has the same configuration, but less disk space.

App-V 5.0SP2 question with SCCM 2012 CU4 (functionality vs full support with R2)

I understand that for App-V 5.0 SP2 and SCCM 2012 SP1 integration at least CU4 is required but R2 with CU1 for full functionality.
I’ve attached an image from some session that someone else gave me. I have questions after looking at the slide since there are no details on what is not fully supported with CU4 pre R2.
Since we have immediate plans to add CU4 to our SCCM 2012 SP1 environment can anyone please give us a break down of what functionality is not available in App-V 5.0 SP2 before we go all the way up to SCCM 2012 R2?
On another note does anyone have any clue what TechED session that was from so I can see the replay?
Thanks very much for any info on this.

New to solaris what should I be downloading solaris 10 or opensolaris?

well I have some experience with redhat but want to learn solaris as, well I really will never be able to get a linux/unix position if I only know one. hmm so I started looking around and got confused by the many versions now available of solaris. so after bout an hour is seems like...
1) the solaris 10 os is released for free
2) there are multiple solaris's based off this code but the one solaris is pushing is the opensolaris 2008.05.
in my mind I figure that solaris loosely relates to redhat then and opensolaris loosely relates to fedora.
so here are my questions.
I see solaris is "free" but I can't figure out exactly what that means. I know for instance that me sitting at home at night learning will not be able to call or email sun for support (too bad that would be sweet). but once installed can I get applications, use the sun software installation system (whatever would be like yum to redhat) to get software, will it be from a repo sponsored by sun? also how would I update the system. for instance I see a new version of solairs will be out in late october. do I have to do a complete reinstall or can I just plop in a new cd and hit "upgrade" (or something of that nature). basically I guess I am saying what am I missing by getting solaris free without support. is it just tech support or is it updates and software.
secondly, would opensolaris be a better option. the reason I am apprehensive is because based on some reviews I have read it is not supported by much hardware and is buggy. I really don't want to waist time downloading and installing this if regular old solaris 10 is the better option. thanks you much for helping a newbie out. I have a seconds pc waiting for this and remember it is basically so I can get up to speed so my solaris unix will be on par with my quite limited linux experience. thanks again...

I see so>night learning will not be able to call or email sun for support (too bad that would be sweet). but once installed can I get applications, use the sun software installation system (whatever would be like yum to redhat) to get software, will it be from a repo sponsored by sun?Depends. With Solaris you can use the Solaris Companion CD to get a few of the more generic programs or you can use sites such as Blastwave, SunFreeWare, Package Archive etc... to add more software of you can always compile from source.
OpenSolaris has a pkg install command which is analogous to yum and contains a lot more software then the Solaris Companion CD. If you hunt around you can get a list of all software that pkg install can install to your system.
also how would I update the system. for instance I see a new version of solairs will be out in late october. do I have to do a complete reinstall or can I just plop in a new cd and hit "upgrade" (or something of that nature). basically I Plop in the DVD and hit "upgrade" or you can do fancy things like live upgrade if you plan in advance.
guess I am saying what am I missing by getting solaris free without support. is it just tech support or is it updates and software. Patches that aren't labeled as critical or security, phone support, etc... are not part of "free" Solaris.
secondly, would opensolaris be a better option. the reason I am apprehensive is because based on some reviews I have read it is not supported by much hardware and is buggy. There is a device detection tool that can be used for either OS so you can see in advance if your hardware is probably supported. OpenSolaris contains programs that are generally more current then those that are offered by Solaris.
