Actually yes, I did use ports. Perhaps this is what I should do instead.

I actually wanted the mysql database to be located at /usr/mysql. I copied the database from /var/db/mysql to /usr/mysql then ran: ln -s /usr/mysql /var/db/mysql And it worked. I *think* it wasn't working because /usr/mysql did not exist?? Not sure..

Hi, I wanted to get python 2.7 installed on my FreeBSD box so I went ahead and installed the 27 port and it seems to have installed correctly. However, when ever I execute "python" it still brings me into the python 2.6.6 shell. How do I get this to bring me into the 27 shell and also make...

Ah, I got it. Guess I had to mv the mysql directory over first.

Hmm, I can't seem to get this symlink correct though I've done it before... I've ran into this very same issue and I'm trying to link /var/db/mysql to /usr/mysql When I enter the command: ln -s /usr/mysql /var/db/mysql I get the error: ln: /var/db/mysql/mysql: file exists I should also add...

I use portsnap and portupgrade for all my servers. However, I recently started using PC-BSD as my desktop machine at home and I've been very impressed. To answer your PC-BSD software upgrade question check out: http://wiki.pcbsd.org/index.php/Using_Software_Manager I would highly recommend...

Simple, PC-BSD does it for you :)

Nice! Glad to see another fellow skater into FreeBSD too.

dude, that is so frickin funny i about fell out of my chair when i read that.

At least tell us what mail server your running...

yes, FreeBSD of course! I second the pfsense very nice firewall built on FreeBSD.

I would set static IP's then use traffic shaping/QoS on a router. I use FreeBSD for my firewalls and servers but I use vyatta for my routers which is capable of doing what you want (rate limiting). What are you using for your router?

What is the reasoning behind dividing the bandwidth? Are you trying to throttle certain types of traffic? Have you looked at Quality of Service or web proxies?

just ran portsnap. looks like it's been updated to 5.2.12

i ran into some of these same problems but my question is where did my docs go after the upgrade from 7.2 to 8.0? there are no more docs in /usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/ anyone know how upgrade handles this? thanks,

thanks for the suggestions guys. i'm all set.
