Installing Fresh Ports Froxlor have questions

G

gtibbetts

I'm installing Fresh Ports which is a web hosting control panel based on froxlor. Fresh ports is for FreeBSD. It is a manual install. I have a few questions.

What am I supposed to do with the dependency lines. Do I type them into the command line or?

Take a look here.

freshports.org

dependency lines
  • froxlor>0:sysutils/froxlor
When I install apache it has on the apache page a bunch of dependencies. I have never had to install dependencies when installing apache. Can you look at the site and answer whether I will have to install a bunch of dependencies to install apache. Take a look at freshports.org and let me know.

No, it's not. Freshports is a website created by dvl@; http://freshports.org

This is a website that shows a lot of information from the FreeBSD ports tree. Please understand this.

docs.freebsd.org

Chapter 4. Installing Applications: Packages and Ports

FreeBSD provides two complementary technologies for installing third-party software: the FreeBSD Ports Collection, for installing from source, and packages, for installing from pre-built binaries

Dependencies are automatically installed. Please take some time to read the handbook.
 
Am I supposed to just make this directory when typing this command or do I start with the make packagelist.

Here are the command to start for froxlor on fresh ports.

make generate-plist am I supposed to startwith this command to install.

https://www.freshports.org/sysutils/froxlor/ It's on this site.

When I type the following command it says directory does not exist. make generate-plist create this directory ro do I.
 
It said directory does not exist when I typed the following


cd /usr/ports/sysutils/froxlor/ && make install clean
 
I just installed the package for froxlor. It looked like it was installing db and web server etc. I'll check to see if apache is running.
 
No service will ever run automatically by just installing it. You have to enable them in /etc/rc.conf.

Why do you want to install this tool in the first place? If the idea is to "manage" your own machine without understanding how FreeBSD works, this won't work. You should really read the handbook first and get some grips on administrating FreeBSD before operating services on it.

and set up it for froxlor and start apache: # service apache24 start

P.S. Take zirias@ advice seriously. If you've been a Linux user, at least read this for now: FreeBSD Quickstart Guide for Linux Users. Be sure that without reading the Handbook, you'll definitely get into trouble.
