My experience with other users has seen many errors occur whilst trying to do this. The most trouble free way to get this done easily is starting from a clean install. </p> http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/old-server-installations-update-and-fix-problems#post-747 Fri, 18 Dec 2009 19:17:37 +0000 zelda 747@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ <p>Thanks for the reply: I was afraid i might have to do something like that to keep Tiger and get my localhost server updated. </p> http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/old-server-installations-update-and-fix-problems#post-746 Fri, 18 Dec 2009 10:51:18 +0000 Richard 746@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ <p>I would advice you to start fresh with a new install of Tiger when possible. That way you'll be sure of having a clean platform. Then look in the Docs section of this site for instruction on how to compile and configure your setup. </p> <p>However officially I've also stopped supporting Tiger, due to lack of sufficient hardware to run all different operating systems. But you can always ask and look around the site for answers. </p> http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/old-server-installations-update-and-fix-problems#post-745 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 16:16:54 +0000 zelda 745@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ <p>I used to download Marc Liyanage's entropy.ch mac packages to get apache2, php5, and mysql5 working and updated on my localhost apache2 server running on my apparently elderly PPC G5 tower running Tiger v.10.4.11. However, he quit building packages for older versions of osx and only supports Leopard osx versions. I do not want to upgrade to Leopard on this machine, but would like to update my versions of apache2, and php5, mysql5, and install latest versions of python, and possibly get postgresql working too.</p> <p>However, i know all is not right with my old server installations, to begin with, because my log files have been reflecting problems to me for a while:</p> <p>FROM SYSTEM LOG<br /> ------------------<br /> Dec 15 08:35:53 Home SystemStarter[56]: Apache 2 Web Server (257) did not complete successfully<br /> Dec 15 08:35:59 Home SystemStarter[56]: The following StartupItems failed to properly start:<br /> Dec 15 08:35:59 Home SystemStarter[56]: /System/Library/StartupItems/Apache2<br /> Dec 15 08:35:59 Home SystemStarter[56]: - execution of Startup script failed</p> <p>But yet it runs despite the message about failure?</p> <p>FROM APACHE2 LOGS/ERROR LOG<br /> ---------------------------<br /> httpd(288) malloc: *** error for object 0x177c000: Can't deallocate_pages region<br /> httpd(288) malloc: *** set a breakpoint in szone_error to debug<br /> httpd(288) malloc: *** vm_allocate(size=262144) failed (error code=-301)<br /> httpd(288) malloc: *** error: can't allocate region<br /> httpd(288) malloc: *** set a breakpoint in szone_error to debug<br /> [Wed Sep 30 13:45:57 2009] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 0) (tried to allocate 8192 bytes) in Unknown on line 0, referer: ....<br /> [Mon Dec 14 18:32:12 2009] [warn] child process 285 still did not exit, sending a SIGTERM<br /> [Mon Dec 14 18:32:13 2009] [warn] child process 286 still did not exit, sending a SIGTERM<br /> [Mon Dec 14 18:32:13 2009] [warn] child process 287 still did not exit, sending a SIGTERM<br /> [Mon Dec 14 18:32:13 2009] [warn] child process 288 still did not exit, sending a SIGTERM<br /> [Mon Dec 14 18:32:13 2009] [warn] child process 289 still did not exit, sending a SIGTERM<br /> [Mon Dec 14 18:32:15 2009] [warn] child process 285 still did not exit, sending a SIGTERM<br /> [Mon Dec 14 18:32:15 2009] [warn] child process 286 still did not exit, sending a SIGTERM<br /> [Mon Dec 14 18:32:15 2009] [warn] child process 287 still did not exit, sending a SIGTERM<br /> [Mon Dec 14 18:32:15 2009] [warn] child process 288 still did not exit, sending a SIGTERM<br /> [Mon Dec 14 18:32:15 2009] [warn] child process 289 still did not exit, sending a SIGTERM<br /> [Mon Dec 14 18:32:17 2009] [warn] child process 285 still did not exit, sending a SIGTERM<br /> [Mon Dec 14 18:32:17 2009] [warn] child process 286 still did not exit, sending a SIGTERM<br /> [Mon Dec 14 18:32:17 2009] [warn] child process 287 still did not exit, sending a SIGTERM<br /> [Mon Dec 14 18:32:17 2009] [warn] child process 288 still did not exit, sending a SIGTERM<br /> [Mon Dec 14 18:32:17 2009] [warn] child process 289 still did not exit, sending a SIGTERM<br /> [Mon Dec 14 18:32:19 2009] [error] child process 285 still did not exit, sending a SIGKILL<br /> [Mon Dec 14 18:32:19 2009] [error] child process 286 still did not exit, sending a SIGKILL<br /> [Mon Dec 14 18:32:19 2009] [error] child process 287 still did not exit, sending a SIGKILL<br /> [Mon Dec 14 18:32:19 2009] [error] child process 288 still did not exit, sending a SIGKILL<br /> [Mon Dec 14 18:32:19 2009] [error] child process 289 still did not exit, sending a SIGKILL<br /> [Tue Dec 15 08:35:59 2009] [warn] Init: Session Cache is not configured [hint: SSLSessionCache]<br /> [Tue Dec 15 08:36:02 2009] [notice] Digest: generating secret for digest authentication ...<br /> [Tue Dec 15 08:36:02 2009] [notice] Digest: done<br /> [Tue Dec 15 08:36:02 2009] [notice] Apache/2.2.4 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.4 OpenSSL/0.9.7l DAV/2 PHP/5.2.4 configured -- resuming normal operations</p> <p>What would be the best way to cleanup all these problems and at the very least get apache2, php5, and mysql5 (currently 5.0.45 MySQL Community Server (GPL)) updated to the latest working versions?</p> <p>I was thinking deleting everything and starting over, but i am worried about not finding all things and places on my computer Liyanage's packages may have installed stuff: files and the unseen virtual pointers that could mess-up any new installations.</p> <p>Suggestions or advice, welcome! </p>
