    Apache / APR upgrade note

    That problem must be specific to you. I followed the instructions in /usr/ports/UPDATING exactly and had no problems. Deinstalled apache22 using pkg_delete, ran portmaster -o devel/apr1 devel/apr then did portmaster www/apache22, and everything worked flawlessly. Downtime around 10 minutes for...

    Mouse won't work in X, but will in terminal.

    I hit something similar when I rebuilt my workstation. What worked for me was to enable/start hal and dbus. Everything seemed to work then. As a disclaimer, however, I don't use a graphical login manager (like KDM/GDM). I don't know about KDM, but I'm pretty sure GDM starts hal/dbus when it...

    Ports need stability

    Hi Phil, Please, don't take me as being combative or anything, that is not my intent. I have a production server I manage with FreeBSD (right now 7.1, but we're evaluating an upgrade path to 7.3 before January when 7.1 loses security support). 3rd party apps are built/installed from ports...

    Why did you choose to stay with FreeBSD?

    I certainly can understand the sentiment by those who don't wish to wait while their ports compile. Heck, I'm not even brave enough to attempt an OpenOffice.org build again. But we don't have to get into that right now. Personally, I'm quite fond of the ports system. While I have a certain...

    Oracle is brain f***ed

    I know StarOffice was supported on Windows and Solaris. I think they had a Linux version as well. Not too sure about OSX.

    ssh to freebsd

    Is sshd enabled? In /etc/rc.conf: sshd_enable="YES" Is sshd started? /etc/rc.d/sshd status That should return the PID that sshd is running as. Try sockstat -l4 (that's a lower-case "L") and you should see sshd listening on port 22. Report back your results.

    Setting up my first remote webspace (freebsd srv).

    I offer roundcube and squirrelmail to my users. I consider requests for others, but so far there are none.

    Apache install issues

    This may seem silly, but... Did you put apache in your /etc/rc.conf file? For example, mine says: apache22_enable="YES" Yours may be different... but apache will not start without that line. Edit: Apologies, I totally ignored 'User23's post right above mine.

    MIPS emulator for FreeBSD?

    Nope, qemu and xen are two separate technologies.

    MIPS emulator for FreeBSD?

    Qemu has a MIPS emulation mode. http://wiki.qemu.org/download/qemu-doc.html As for the platform, can't help you there. I'm intel/sparc only.

    Newbie Post-Installation Help

    1. Go with the sk0 interface. 2. If you don't know what IPv6 is, then answer no. There's a 99.9% chance you're not using it. 3. DHCP - probably. Host and domain you can make anything. I don't think it'll harm anything to leave the domain blank. Hostname just make up a name for your computer...

    Setting up my first remote webspace (freebsd srv).

    You could always ask the host if they'd be willing to support mod_django. Sometimes if it's a smaller operation they won't mind bending a bit in areas like this. Especially if it could be of benefit to many users and could attract potential customers.

    freebsd backup script

    Use it and abuse it. The script is run via the system crontab (/etc/crontab) every night at midnight on my system. Also I forgot to mention... the 'chown backups:backups' may need to be modified, unless you want to add a user and group called 'backups' to your system. Otherwise, you can chown...

    Setting up my first remote webspace (freebsd srv).

    For web software such as this, I prefer to install it separately of the ports system. Just an old habit of mine I guess (on the flip side, I only install perl modules through ports). You could do that, which in turn would require absolutely no root access.

    how to build my own browser ?

    What about http://www.realsoftware.com/realbasic/? Granted, it's basic... but still. Borland also used to put out a product called Kylix, which was Delphi for Linux (it appears Borland has changed substantially since I've last used their products, some 12 years ago). Disclaimer: I have...
