Hi everyone,
I've recently take a shared hosting(netfirms) with a freebsd OS. The there is the minimum on it. I've no yum, cc, gcc, make, or any stuff to build and install binary in my custom cgi-bin folder.

Is someone have any idea on how can I install svn-client and ImageMagick on this very limited host.

Thanks

You can ask them for IM but i cant suggest good solution about svn. Or maybe they give you ssh, but i think they will not xD

well, yum is for OpenSuse, not related to FreeBSD at all
Do you have ssh access?

You can try to ask them to install what you need....

You first need to find out what system you are on exactly. Then you just need to compile the binaries for the right architecture/library versions on your own computer and then just upload the binaries and run them with a CGI script.

Only information support can give me is that is a freebsd OS. Now to compile binaries I need a c compiler at minimum to build make. Because there is no any compiler and make binary on.

Is there any solution to push any compiler without compile it?

Other things server can't resolve any domain name. Curl is installed but can't access any pages.
RubyGem is lock on that, so no posibilities to install any gem, I'm forced to freeze everything.
Ruby version is 1.8.2. not realy a good version.

I've asked them for everything and they said to me: we don't know anything about ruby. if something pay 79$/month for a private server.

So if I have a suggest to everyone: Don't host on netfirms, they don't know what they sell.

What you need is freebsd jail based or freebsd vps server. This kind of server gives you full ssh access with ports and tree. You can install whatever you want. Try the following

http://www.johncompanies.com/ (used for personal stuff) - reliable and economically priced
http://www.verio.com/web-hosting/freebsd-vps/ - reliable but over priced and meant for serious business users.

Third option is to host your own server at home.

xensmart.co.uk have Xen HVM VPS that support freebsd with just 3.75GBP/mo. it has 128MB RAM.
I myself rent a cheap KVM VPS from xothost.com to run freebsd (very new provider, can't recommend yet)

Plenty of quality $4-$10 plans if you are running an operation with minimal web traffic.

Can just start at $1 a month for FreeBSD VPS Hosting at hub.org and they will give you details on your resource usage so as your website grows your plan grows accordingly (so you avoid overages and aren't paying for resources you don't use).
