  • Recursive ctags under solaris 10

    Hi,
    i am new to solaris development.
    Under linux for recursive ctags we use " ctags -r .".
    What will be the equivalent recursive ctags under solaris 10 ?
    With thanks in advance,

  • F60srvm process dies under Solaris

    We are running OAS 4.0.7 under Solaris 2.6 with Oracle 8.0.5.
    Our version of Developer 6 is 6.0.5.0.3.
    We get a process started with "f60ctl start"
    The server process dies when we invoke the form in a browser.
    Anybody have any suggestions?

    If you start a background process, the shell remembers its pid in $!.
    That can be used to store the pid in a pid-file, which may be useful when stopping the thing or preventing multiple starts.
    Or you can also use a wrapper script around the java program which remembers the java process's PID and traps the exit and sigstop signals, and in the trap stops the java process. Thus you have to find your own script process, not the java process
    BTW: is there any special way to stop your java process or you want just to send it a SIGTERM signal?

  • Mozilla under Solaris 10

    hello all,
    I am trying to launch Mozilla 1.7 under Solaris 10 with multiple Java versions, like Java 1.5, 1.4 and 1.6.
    I am not 100% sure but from what I see its not fully supported by Mozilla?
    some behavior patters that I noticed is that Mozilla tend to lock the session against the JRE its running under. so if you started with 1.5
    it will remain under 1.5 until you kill/finish that session..
    could anyone please help with this or if you have any better suggestion?
    thanks a lot
    /ayman

    Not really sure what you are trying to do, but you can get a more recent version at the following
    link. README link has info on install, including java.

  • Porting of Sybase Application to Oracle 8i under Solaris

    Dear All
    I want to port an application from sybase 10.2 which is running under Solaris to Oracle 8I under Solaris. Apart from database objects and stored procedures which I have already converted I wan to conver some C Codes and Unix Scripts
    Which are either shell scripts or perl programs. I need all of your valuable suggestions in this regard.
    Q-1 . In the Perl Program the following lines are sybase specific
    Use Sybase:: Dblib
    Require /files0/apps/local/lib/perl15/Sybase/sybperl.pl;
    What will be the equivalent for ORACLE.
    Suggest what perl I should use in this context.
    In continuation to the above also I have some shell variables assigned as follows
    $SYB_SERVER=SYB_PROD_CERT;
    $SYB_DATABASE=APPLDB;
    $ENV{SYBASE}=/sybase/10.0.4;
    $ENV{DSQUERY}=$SYB_SERVER
    $SYB_USER=keshav;
    $SYB_PWFILE=/myappl/processcert/passwords/$SYB_SERVER;
    $SYB_PW=/usr/bin/cat $SYB_PWFILE;
    chop($SYB_PW);

    dberrhandle(error_handler);
    ( ($dbproc = &dblogin($SYB_USER,$SYB_PW,$SYB_SERVER)) != -1 );
    ( &dbuse($dbproc, $SYB_DATABASE) != -1 );
    ( ($dbproc2 = &dblogin($SYB_USER,$SYB_PW,$SYB_SERVER)) != -1 );
    ( &dbuse($dbproc2, $SYB_DATABASE) != -1 );
    sub Statistics
    # get distinct sub-cat counts
    ( &dbcmd($dbproc, "select count(*),orgnumber,name=(select servicerorgname from servicer where servicer.orgnumber=transactionlog.orgnumber) from transactionlog group by orgnumber order by count(*) desc\n") != -1 );
    &dbsqlexec($dbproc);
    &dbresults($dbproc);
    $row = DBROWS( $dbproc );
    2. One of the Sample C Program is given here which I want to convert into pro*c.
    I would like to know what are the corresponding libraries of oracle under
    Solaris are to be used and also the respective header files mapping of Sybase
    To Oracle. Any comment of this will be appreciated.

    Hello
    The "-D_BIG_ENDIAN" shows you that the code is endian-dependent. This means that the program cannot be ported 1:1 because x86 is little endian while Sparc is big-endian.
    I would first try to use "-D_LITTLE_ENDIAN" (or what flag ever I can find in the source codes) and to compile for x86.
    Because of the "-D_BIG_ENDIAN" different source code is used for both machines. Maybe the little-endian source code is wrong:
    #ifdef _BIG_ENDIAN
    // correct source code for Sparc
    #else
    // INCORRECT source code for x86
    #endifMartin

  • How to install Apache Web Server with PHP on Sun Solaris Sparc machine

    Hi,
    We are trying to install the Apache Web Server and the PHP package on a Sun Solaris Sparc machine running on SunOS 5.8. We are having compilation problems with the source code of both these packages.
    Does anybody know if there are ready solaris packages for Apache and PHP available from where we can download and install instead of source code compilation?
    Or any instructions / things to watch for when installing Apache with PHP (if anybody has tried installing Apache with PHP on Sun Solaris earlier) is most welcome.
    Thanks,
    Harish

    Apache should be bundled along with Solaris check in "/var/apache" in Solaris 8 and Solaris 9
    php is available at www.php.net
    I found an old document for installing PHP maybe this will help.
    Cheers

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Installing PHP 3.x for Apache 1.x.x on Solaris
    Introduction
    This document describes how to install PHP for Apache on Solaris.
    You should have Apache installed before trying to install PHP.
    If you want to use PHP with MySQL then you must install MySQL first.
    Before we Begin
    1. These instructions assume that you have Apache installed according to instructions.
    Getting PHP
    1. You must be logged in as root to perform this installation.
    su root
    2. I save all my downloads in:
    /usr/local/dist
    If you don't already have one, you may need to create that directory now:
    mkdir /usr/local/dist
    3. You can get PHP 3.0.14 from here(www.php.net).
    cd /usr/local/dist
    ftp ftp.php.net
    cd pub/distributions
    bin
    get php-3.0.14.tar.gz
    bye
    Installing PHP
    1. We will install PHP in /usr/local/build, but use a tricky tar command
    to do it in on hit from the download directory:
    cd /usr/local/dist
    tar xvfz php-3.0.12.tar.gz -C ../build
    Compiling PHP
    1. First let's get where the action is:
    cd /usr/local/build/php-3.0.14
    2. You now have 3 options:
    * Simple PHP install without MySQL - goto step 3
    * Simple PHP install with MySQL - goto step 4
    * Custom PHP install - goto step 5
    3. Simple PHP install without MySQL. Next, jump to step 6.
    ./configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.12
    4. Simple PHP install with MySQL. MySQL must be installed before you can configure PHP to use it. I recommend that MySQL should always be reachable with /usr/local/mysql. Even if you install it else where you
    should create a symbolic link from /usr/local/mysql. Otherwise the compiler can have problems finding the mysqlclient library. The command
    should look like this:
    ./configure with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql with-apache=../apache_1.3.12
    Next, jump to step 6.
    5. Custom PHP install. Take a look at the available configuration directives by using this command:
    ./configure --help
    6. Now we can make the PHP executable. This may take a while.
    make
    7. Now we install the PHP module with:
    make install
    Adding the PHP Module to Apache
    1. Now we have to setup Apache to include the PHP module:
    cd ../apache_1.3.12
    2. Re-configure Apache to use the PHP module. You should use your previous Apache configure command along with the PHP activate module directive.
    You can see your previous Apache configure command by doing:
    cat config.status
    You can configure Apache using the previous command with the added PHP module by doing:
    ./config.status --activate-module=src/modules/php3/libphp3.a
    If you used the simple Apache install from instructions the command will look like this:
    ./configure prefix=/usr/local/apache activate-module=src/modules/php3/libphp3.a
    3. Make and install Apache with PHP enabled:
    make
    4. We need to stop the server before installing the files:
    /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl stop
    5. Now we can install the new binaries:
    make install
    6. Start apache again (now running the new php enabled version):
    /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start
    Setting Up PHP
    1. We have to tell Apache to pass certain file extensions to PHP. We do this in Apache's httpd.conf file.
    cd /usr/local/apache/conf
    2. Edit the httpd.conf file. If you do a search for php you will find a couple of commented out lines telling Apache to use the PHP module. You should uncomment them to look like this.
    AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
    AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .phps
    3. I prefer to use the extension .phtml, you can use whatever extension you like (even .html) by adding lines to httpd.conf like this:
    AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .phtml
    Check that it Works
    1. We have to restart Apache to make these changes take effect on the running server.
    cd /usr/local/apache/bin
    ./apachectl restart
    2. Apache should now be running with PHP enabled. The server version should include PHP/3.0b2.
    ./apachectl status
    Apache Server Status for dev.synop.com
    Server Version: Apache/1.3.9 (Unix) PHP/3.0.12
    Server Built: Oct 25 1999 00:37:07
    3. Now it is time to test PHP with a page. The simplest thing to do is create a page called test.php3. My file is here. This file contains the
    following text:
    <?php phpinfo(); ?>
    4. Point your browser at this file on the virtual host which you used:
    http://localhost/test.php3

  • How to start ftp under solaris 10

    How can I enable ftp?

    This looks sort of like what happened to me just now. I tried svcs -x
    and got:
    # svcs -x
    svc:/network/rpc/gss:default (Generic Security Service)
    State: uninitialized since Mon Apr 18 13:01:12 2005

    See: lpsched(1M)
    Impact: 1 dependent service is not running. (Use -v for list.)
    I tried all kinds of things to get gss to run, but I finally realized that
    it was really ifconfig that was the problem. The system has two
    network interfaces, and during installation I gave both of them
    a name. However, hme1 was not really connected to anything.
    All I did to get it to work was
    # cd /etc
    # mv hostname.hme1 no.hme1
    After that, I rebooted, and everything came up OK. I don't know
    if the original problem was the same, but this solved my problem.

  • Sparc Storag Array 102 needs to run under solaris 10

    I need to get a Sparc Storage Array to run under solaris 10. The soc driver that is needed is not supportted under solairs 10. I took the packages needed off of solari 9 cd and installed them but no luck. I tried to to do a modload and modinfo but it was not there.
    The package loaded a file into /kernel/drv/sparcv9/soc. I have solaris 9 onanother disk on the same system and looked at the system trying to copy and edit the files on 10 but not device paths show up in the system. I copyied a file called soc that was in /kernel/drv/ I edited the /etc/device_aliases and path_to_inst but no good.
    There are no entries in the /devices/ dir that reference the soc path. I do not if than can work but really would like to get this working.

    The fibre interface on that beast is NOT a Gigabit connection,
    such as is common on current systems.
    It was a 100Mbps connection through an array controller,
    running with a 40MHz microSPARC II control module.
    You'd exceed its throughput capabilities in any attempt
    to read or write data at or beyond that 100Mbps rate.
    I don't anticipate much assistance in these forums for a technology that goes back a decade-and-a-half.
    Contributors familiar with products from that era stopped posting in 2006
    when the previous supportforum.sun.com was merged into this one.
    We'll all look forward to your guidance after you succeed.

  • How to install a LPR Printer under Solaris 10 01/06

    Hi,
    I just installed Solaris 10 01/06 2 days ago and so far I'm pretty impressed, really a nice system!
    I have one problem, though:
    I have a Kyocera FS-1010 printer in my office which is connected to a CNet Printserver.
    I'm able to print from other Linux and *BSD boxes to this printer by using CUPS and adding the Printer as a LPR Printqueue.
    My question is: Is there a way to do the same under Solaris? As far as I know, Solaris doesn't use CUPS as the default printing system, unlike OSX for example.
    Thanks in advance,
    Dominik

    Is there any reason you haven't ftp'd and then configued cups on Solaris?

  • Problems starting SunMC Agent 3.6 under Solaris 10

    Hi folks,
    I just did a test installation of the new SunMC 3.6 Server which worked fine. Afterwards, I did a fresh install of the 3.6 agent on a Sun Enterprise 420R running Solaris 10. I installed the agent in the global zone.
    At the end of the setup, when the system asks me if I want to start the agent, which I affirmed. But this didn't work, system says just laconically "Could not start agent". Unfortunately, I can't even find the logs, since there is no log subdirectory under /var/opt/SUNWsymon. Have they moved this under Solaris 10?
    Any ideas somebody how to dig into this?
    Regards,
    Peter

    Hi Mike,
    This sounds a lot like a post just a few days ago:
    http://forum.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=27785&tstart=0Well, yes and no...I read this thread and I found some similarities but it's not the same problem. Besides, this was Solaris 8, I've 10 and my guess is that it has something to do with Sol10.
    What do you see when you start the Agent with this command:
    /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-start -aiNo error...I end up in a prompt:
    bash-3.00# /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-start -ai

  • Backup issues (ufsdump/ufsrestore) under solaris 10

    Hello all,
    We are in the process of migrating to Solaris 10 from Solaris 8.
    On our Solaris 8 systems with 2 HDDs we have a script that does a full backup of one disk (slice by slice) on to another using ufsdump/ufsrestore + boot record. The idea is that if one disk becomes corrupt logically/physically we can boot off the backup disk and continue using the system.
    This worked fine under Solaris 8. We tried to do the same under Solaris 10 and noticed some unexpected behaviour when we tried to boot off the backup disk. Solaris 10 started "reconfiguring services" just like it does it when you install the OS fresh with the message:
    Loading smf(5) service descriptions: xx/117
    Somehow Solaris 10 "knew" that it was booted from a different device than last time.
    My question would be: how does Solaris 10 know this and could we "fool" it into thinking that it was always installed on a backup disk, so it doesn't reconfigure itself every time new backup is made (and used).

    "... The real question is "how can I be sure that except smf there is nothing else in the OS affected by HDD change" and that is what I meant..."
    The fact that you use ufsdump on mounted (I am guessing that you are doing so :-) file systems is risky!. Alternatively, you can create snapshots (fssnap(1M)) for the file systems that you are going to ufsdump on.
    If your main aim is to replicate and reduce down time in case of root disk failure, a better solution is make use of mirriong via Solaris Volume Manager (aka SDS or md(7D)). Mirror does not guard against human errors though, such as accidentally deletion of crucial files :-) (which a backup strategy can guard against).
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    S.T.Chang

  • Using Solaris 8 drivers under Solaris 10?

    I have a Mylex AcceleRAID 352 SCSI RAID controller card I would like to use under Solaris 10/11. It has drivers for Solaris 8 and is reported to work unofficially under Solaris 9.
    What are the chances this will function reliably under Solaris 10/11? Has the driver format changed appreciably? Can anyone comment on using older drivers in newer versions of Solaris?
    Many thanks for any advice, comments, or tips.
    Regards,
    Andrew

    <i>should I try the big monitor with the 13w3 connector</i>
    Yes, this is the primary output.
    Attach the monitor to the 13W3 output and change the <b>output-device</b> to the integrated video.

  • Sparc storage Array woring under solaris 10.

    I need to get a Sparc Storage Array to run under solaris 10. The soc driver that is needed is not supportted under solairs 10. I took the packages needed off of solaris 9 cds and installed them but no luck. I tried to to do a modload and modinfo but it was not there.
    The package loaded a file into /kernel/drv/sparcv9/soc. I have solaris 9 onanother disk on the same system and looked at the system trying to copy and edit the files on 10 but not device paths show up in the system. I copyied a file called soc that was in /kernel/drv/ I edited the /etc/device_aliases and path_to_inst but no good.
    There are no entries in the /devices/ dir that reference the soc path. I do not if than can work but really would like to get this working.
