Freeserv

Hi,

I'm facing an issue on my new FreeBSD server. Indeed, I don't understand why, but I can't install a software like Apache on my server. It's a new installation ( FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE (64BITS) in online.net), I didn't make any change at that time.

I did a successful
Code: 
portsnap fetch extract
But then when I did
Code: 
cd /usr/ports/www/apache24/ && make install clean
I have this message
Code:

Even pkg_add doesn't work ...
Code: 
pkg_add -r apache24
Error: Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8.3-release/Latest/apache24.tbz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
pkg_add: unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8.3-release/Latest/apache24.tbz' by URL

It's the first time that I saw this in FreeBSD, what should I do?

Thanks a lot
Sincerely

But my provider offers just this version. If I use this will I have the new FreeBSD version?
freebsd-update -r 10.0-RELEASE upgrade

Thanks
 
Re: Can't install FreeBSD Ports FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE (64BITS

I won't suggest using a .0 version for production. If your provider only supplies 8.1 I'd try 8.4 instead. FreeBSD 8.4 is supported until June 2015. And I would urge the provider to stop supplying unsupported versions.
 
Re: Can't install FreeBSD Ports FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE (64BITS

Well I decided to use the 9.2 for my server (the 10.0 installation doesn't work). And it seems, at that time, that I can now install software so thanks a lot!

Have a nice day

Sincerely
A
