Inst PTS in Arch linux 64

[darkmatter14B]

I've got a new AM3 mobo with a Phenom II x3 720 i'm dying to test, but PTS is a no go on Arch linux 64. i've modified my php.ini as follows:


- uncomment following extensions:
- extension=gd.so
- extension=posix.so
- extension=curl.so
- add test-suite path to open_basedir
example: open_basedir = /srv/http/:/home/:/tmp/:/usr/share/pear/:/usr/share/phoronix-test-suite/
- allow fileuploads
- allow_url_fopen = On
- file_uploads = On
- allow_url_include = On

When I try to benchmark, it complains that there's no
downloading application available, here's what I see:

[user@krum ~]$ phoronix-test-suite benchmark super-pi

[Michael]

Which version of PTS are you trying?

It should only give that "No downloading application available." if it can't find wget or curl. Where do you have them installed on your system?

[darkmatter14B]

I'm using PTS v1.8.0a3


wget and curl are located in:

[user@krum ~]$ whereis curl
curl: /usr/bin/curl /usr/include/curl /usr/share/man/man1/curl.1.gz

[user@krum ~]$ whereis wget
wget: /usr/bin/wget /usr/share/man/man1/wget.1.gz

[GreatWalrus]

I have the same problem in both 32- and 64-bit Arch Linux systems.

For the following information, I'm using the 1.8 Alpha 3 development version. However, the exact same problems also happen with the 1.6 version.

Php, wget, and curl are all installed.

Using, as root, the script install-sh, installs the program but does nothing when I try to run it afterward:

[brian@Inspiron ~]$ phoronix-test-suite install super-pi
[brian@Inspiron ~]$ 
[brian@Inspiron ~]$ phoronix-test-suite list-tests
[brian@Inspiron ~]$

Using ./phoronix-test-suite (from the source download), I get the following:

[brian@Inspiron phoronix-test-suite]$ ./phoronix-test-suite benchmark super-pi

[DeepDayze]

why not either make links to the wget and curl executables in a directory within the PHP searchpath, or add the /usr/bin to the searchpath?

[GreatWalrus]

Could you please clarify how to do that?

Linking it to ./phoronix-test-suite/ did not work, so obviously I am confused.

Thanks.

[Michael]

So it looks like Arch Linux tightens up the security with the "open_basedir restriction in effect." That should be configurable through the php.ini I would think.

Ah, thanks Michael. I got /usr/bin/phoronix-test-suite to work by doing the following:

1. yaourt -S phoronix-test-suite (or use install-sh from the source download)
2. Add 'time' to depends (in the PKGBUILD), or install it from extra (pacman -Sy time)
3. As root, edit /etc/php/php.ini
   
   
   • Uncomment following extensions:
     
     
     extension=gd.so
     extension=posix.so
     extension=curl.so
   • Add phoronix-test-suite path to open_basedir
     
     example: open_basedir = /srv/http/:/home/:/tmp/:/usr/share/pear/:/usr/share/phoronix-test-suite/
   • Allow file uploads
     
     allow_url_fopen = On
     file_uploads = On
     allow_url_include = On
   
   
4. When installing test suites keep an eye out for other deps pts cannot install by itself
   
5. Make a pts global account and upload results

Edit: Ok, well I still had problems with the open_basedir line in the above. I just decided to comment the open_basedir and not use it. You can avoid doing this by following your /var/log/user.log and seeing which files need to be added to your open_basedir. For me, it was such files as /usr/bin/gcc, /usr/bin/wget, /etc/release, and /proc/dri/0/name. That was too many for me, and I did not know if more would show up and cause problems.

Well, adding those to the open_basedir in php.ini fixed the downloading problem........super-pi complains that ./pi cannot be found. I'll try a few other tests and see what happens.
