I have a box that was setup in '03 that has run fine since but now it is time to do some maintenance. Ultimately I am trying to install webmin. I'm not sure if I am doing this correctly or not but I went to the ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd..... site and downloaded ports.tgz and un-tarred them to /usr/ports. I was able to install portsman which is allowing me to see the current ports, attempt to upgrade or install.
The problem being when I try to install or update individual ports they cannot find the files needed due to the files being moved because they are old. I tried editing /etc/default/make.conf but I do not know what to put for a Master_Backup_Site to actually find these old distfiles or whatever they need to be able to update or install correctly. Can someone please help me update my ports collection and change the Master_Backup_Site so when I try to install, it will find these files?
