I am new to FreeBSD but reasonably adventurous. I've just installed v8.3 as a virtual machine on a Win7 laptop using VirtualBox in an attempt to replicate the environment of a client's PHP/MySQL application I've built.
After starting the machine and logging in as root I've launched sysinstall, selected Configure, Packages. Regardless of the package I specify (I've tried apache, php5, mysql server, and cvsup-without-gui at various times) the package does not seem to be installed. The whereis command returns, for example,
, that is - there is no directory indicated.
I've no doubt I've missed a step somewhere along the line and would appreciate suggestions as to where to step next.
Many thanks.
George
